DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Energy drink (ED) use, particularly when mixed with alcohol (AED), is a rapidly emerging phenomenon that has been linked with both problem drinking and unsafe sexual activity. Although these drinks have been widely available in the United States for more than a decade, the parameters and implications of their use remain significantly understudied. While a few preliminary studies have examined ED and AED use in regional convenience samples of college students, little is known about patterns of use among adolescents and young adults nationwide. The present R01 application has three key objectives. First, we will collect the first detailed, nationally representative data to map the prevalence and demographic distribution of ED and AED use in U.S. minor adolescents (aged 13-17) and emerging adults (aged 18-25). Variations across gender, race/ethnicity, age, college enrollment status, sports involvement, and other key characteristics will be assessed. Second, we will examine links among AED use, AED expectancies, and sexual risk-taking in emerging adults. Both event- level and prospective associations will be assessed. We will control for demographic and personality characteristics as well as other alcohol and/or caffeine use, in order to examine the unique effects of AED use on sexual risk-taking (i.e., multiple and/or casual partners, sexual intercourse while intoxicated, and lack of protective behaviors like condom use). We will draw on expectancy theory to test whether beliefs about the interaction of alcohol and caffeine moderate the relationships between AED use and sexual risk behaviors. Third, we will test for gender differences in these relationships. The proposed study will recruit demographically diverse national probability sample of 3,000 U.S. youth, including 2,000 emerging adults aged 18-25 and 1,000 minor adolescents aged 13-17. Six waves of web survey data on ED and AED use, alcohol use, and sexual risk-taking will be collected at three-month intervals from the emerging adult participants. Minor adolescents will complete a less-sensitive survey on ED and AED use in Wave 1 only. By providing the first national data addressing these questions in detail, the research will provide a theoretically coherent and empirically sound basis for understanding the complex relationships between the nascent ED/AED phenomenon and adolescent and young adult health. Research findings are intended to locate ED and AED use within a broader pattern of health-risk behavior and to inform the future development of more effective screening, intervention, and regulatory strategies for reducing AED-related risky sexual activity.

描述(由申请人提供)：能量饮料(ED)的使用，特别是当与酒精(AED)混合使用时，是一个迅速出现的现象，与饮酒问题和不安全的性行为有关。尽管这些饮料在美国已经广泛销售了十多年，但对它们的使用参数和影响的研究仍然严重不足。虽然一些初步研究已经在大学生的地区性便利样本中检查了ED和AED的使用情况，但对全国青少年和年轻人的使用模式知之甚少。目前的R01应用程序有三个关键目标。首先，我们将收集第一个详细的、具有全国代表性的数据，以绘制美国未成年人(13-17岁)和新兴成年人(18-25岁)中ED和AED使用的流行率和人口分布。将评估不同性别、种族/民族、年龄、大学入学状况、参与体育活动和其他关键特征的差异。其次，我们将研究AED使用、AED预期和新兴成年人的性风险之间的联系。将对事件级别和预期关联进行评估。我们将对人口统计学和个性特征以及其他酒精和/或咖啡因的使用进行控制，以检查使用AED对性风险承担的独特影响(即，多个和/或临时伴侣、醉酒时发生性行为，以及缺乏避孕套等保护行为)。我们将利用期望理论来测试关于酒精和咖啡因相互作用的信念是否缓和了AED使用和性危险行为之间的关系。第三，我们将测试这些关系中的性别差异。这项拟议的研究将招募人口统计学上不同的3000名美国青年的全国概率样本，其中包括2000名18-25岁的新兴成年人和1000名13-17岁的未成年人。六波关于ED和AED使用、酒精使用和性风险的网络调查数据将每隔三个月从新兴的成年参与者那里收集。未成年青少年将只在第一波中完成一项不太敏感的关于ED和AED使用的调查。通过提供详细解决这些问题的第一批国家数据，这项研究将提供理论上连贯的和经验上可靠的基础 了解新生的ED/AED现象与青少年和青年健康之间的复杂关系。研究结果旨在将ED和AED的使用定位在更广泛的健康危险行为模式中，并为未来制定更有效的筛查、干预和监管战略以减少与AED相关的危险性行为提供信息。
