DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The rapid financial, political and social changes on-going in the U.S. today have large-scale implications for the risk behavior and health outcomes in America's most marginalized communities. Particularly vulnerable to these transitional processes are youth residing in U.S.- Mexico border communities, a largely neglected population whose heavy documented levels of alcohol consumption far exceed the current national rate. The present study seeks to examine an integrated micro and macro level framework of socioeconomic and political rapid transition on drinking behavior among Mexican youth residing in the U.S.-Mexico border region. The study consists of two distinct phases. During Phase 1, we will conduct two qualitative activities. Specifically, we will conduct: 1) focus groups with local key informants (n=20) from government institutions, law enforcement, and local health and service providers and 2), individual in-depth interviews with adolescents and their mothers residing in border communities (n=20 dyads). Informed by Phase 1 activities, during Phase 2 we will develop and administer a survey to 300 mother-adolescent dyads residing in Texas border communities to identify the political, social, cultural, economic and individual-level determinants of adolescent alcohol use that will be further explored in the larger R01 study and to establish the concurrent validity of these measures. The proposed exploratory study will provide preliminary data to support the long term goal of the program of research, the development of a targeted alcohol prevention intervention for border youth. The proposed project is highly significant and has the potential to greatly impact conceptual frameworks related to prevention of alcohol and other risk behavior given the ongoing and frequent occurrence of destabilizing financial and political events in the current global environment.

描述（由申请人提供）：当今美国正在发生的快速金融、政治和社会变化对美国最边缘化社区的风险行为和健康结果产生了大规模影响。特别容易受到这些过渡进程影响的是居住在美国和墨西哥边境社区的年轻人，他们是一个在很大程度上被忽视的群体，有记录的他们的大量饮酒水平远远超过了目前的全国水平。本研究旨在探讨居住在美墨边境地区的墨西哥青年饮酒行为的社会经济和政治快速转型的微观和宏观综合框架。该研究由两个不同的阶段组成。在第一阶段，我们将开展两项定性活动。具体来说，我们将进行：1）聚焦 与来自政府机构、执法部门以及当地卫生和服务提供者的当地关键信息提供者（n=20）组成的小组，以及2）对居住在边境社区的青少年及其母亲（n=20）进行个人深入访谈。根据第一阶段的活动，在第二阶段，我们将针对居住在德克萨斯州边境社区的 300 名母亲与青少年进行一项调查，以确定青少年饮酒的政治、社会、文化、经济和个人层面的决定因素，并将在更大范围内进一步探讨这些因素。 R01 研究并确定这些措施的同时有效性。拟议的探索性研究将提供初步数据，以支持该研究计划的长期目标，即为边境青少年制定有针对性的酒精预防干预措施。鉴于当前全球环境中不稳定的金融和政治事件持续频繁发生，拟议项目意义重大，有可能对预防酒精和其他风险行为相关的概念框架产生重大影响。
