项目摘要

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）：当今美国正在进行的快速财务，政治和社会变革对美国最边缘化社区的风险行为和健康成果具有很大的影响。特别容易受到这些过渡过程的影响是居住在美国 - 墨西哥边境社区的青年，这是一个很大程度上被忽视的人口，其大量记录的饮酒水平远远超过了当前的国家利率。本研究旨在研究居住在美墨边境地区的墨西哥青年中饮酒行为的社会经济和政治快速过渡的综合微观和宏观水平框架。该研究由两个不同的阶段组成。在第1阶段，我们将进行两项定性活动。具体来说，我们将进行：1）重点来自政府机构，执法部门以及当地卫生和服务提供者的本地关键信息员（n = 20）的小组，以及2），对居住在边境社区的青少年及其母亲的个人深入访谈（n = 20个二元组）。在第1阶段活动的情况下，在第2阶段，我们将对居住在得克萨斯州边境社区的300个母亲青少年进行调查，以确定青少年饮酒的政治，社会，文化，经济，经济和个人水平的决定因素，将在较大的较大范围内进一步探讨。 R01研究并确定这些措施的并发有效性。拟议的探索性研究将提供初步数据，以支持研究计划的长期目标，即针对边境青年的有针对性的酒精预防干预。拟议的项目非常重要，并且有可能极大地影响与预防酒精和其他风险行为有关的概念框架，因为在当前全球环境中持续不断地发生稳定的财务和政治事件。
