 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Research has demonstrated the importance of parent drug use behaviors for child health attitudes, beliefs and behavioral contingencies, and the intergenerational transmission of substance use disorders is well- established. However, the majority of this research has viewed drugs in a binary manner: legal and illicit. As marijuana use becomes increasingly socially acceptable, and policy shifts away from criminalization of marijuana and marijuana users, research that separates marijuana use from use of other illicit drugs is becoming increasingly necessary. In particular, questions about the influence of parental marijuana use on adolescent children's perceptions of marijuana use are of clear relevance in the current social climate. The proposed project aims to investigate the mechanisms that underpin the intergenerational transmission of marijuana use and dependence within a social context. The project uses data from several consecutive years of the National Survey on Drug Use and Health that link parent and child respondents to perform mediation analyses to examine the impact of parent marijuana use and dependence on the attitudes, beliefs and behaviors of their adolescent children. In particular, attention will be paid to the impact of parental marijuana use on parent/child communication about drugs, and on the nature and direction of relationships between parent use, parent/child communications, child attitudes and beliefs, and child behaviors. The impact of the research will be to begin to form an evidence base for common-sense regulation of legal marijuana that takes into account the impact of marijuana use on the health of non-users. Further, results from this study will seek to inform pediatricians and family and adolescent health practitioners on the relative importance of parent drug use behaviors on offspring health, and point to areas for investigation of intervention strategies. The project and research training plan is designed to support the applicant's doctoral studies in the Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences at the Harvard School of Public Health. Ms. Sokol's goals for this project are to gain a full understanding of the psychology of families, and the processes and mechanisms by which intergenerational transmission of drug use behaviors occur. Ms. Sokol further aims to enhance her research and methodological skills as a social and psychiatric epidemiologist, and as a teacher, with the long- term goal of a career as an independent researcher and professor in public health and drug use epidemiology.

 描述(由申请人提供)：研究表明，父母吸毒行为对儿童健康态度、信念和行为偶然性的重要性，物质使用障碍的代际传播是公认的。然而，这项研究的大多数人以一种二元的方式看待毒品：合法和非法。随着大麻的使用越来越为社会所接受，政策也从对大麻和大麻使用者的刑事化转变，将大麻的使用与其他非法药物的使用区分开来的研究变得越来越有必要。特别是，关于父母吸食大麻对青少年儿童吸食大麻观念的影响的问题，在当前的社会环境中具有明显的相关性。拟议的项目旨在调查在社会背景下大麻使用和依赖代际传播的机制。该项目使用连续几年的全国毒品使用与健康调查的数据，将父母和孩子的受访者联系起来进行调解分析，以检查父母大麻的使用和依赖对其青春期子女的态度、信仰和行为的影响。将特别注意父母吸食大麻对父母/子女关于毒品的沟通的影响，以及父母吸食大麻、父母/子女沟通、儿童态度和信仰以及儿童行为之间关系的性质和方向。这项研究的影响将是开始形成对合法大麻的常识性监管的证据基础，考虑到大麻使用对非使用者健康的影响。此外，这项研究的结果将试图让儿科医生和家庭和青少年健康从业者了解父母使用药物行为对子女健康的相对重要性，并指出调查干预的领域。 战略。该项目和研究培训计划旨在支持申请者在哈佛公共卫生学院社会和行为科学系攻读博士学位。索科尔女士这个项目的目标是全面了解家庭心理，以及毒品使用行为发生代际传播的过程和机制。索科尔女士还打算提高她作为一名社会和精神病学流行病学家以及一名教师的研究和方法技能，她的长期目标是成为公共卫生和药物使用流行病学方面的独立研究员和教授。
