The overall objective of the proposed research is to demonstrate the usefulness of state of the art statistical methods for answering alcohol research questions of key importance to prevention. To achieve this objective the proposed research will undertake a secondary analysis of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY), a nationally representative sample of 12,686 young adults. Data from the NLSY provide extensive longitudinal information on the development of alcohol abuse and dependence. In relation to other alcohol data sources, the NLSY is unique in its combination of a large sample size, many time points of observation, multiple cohorts, and several indicators of alcohol use disorders. The longitudinal nature of the data provides significant opportunities for studying the etiology of alcohol use disorders and the critical factors for identifying individuals at risk, issues which are important to prevention research. The proposed research will highlight new statistical methods for categorical and other non-normal data using latent variable constructs and repeated measures. The secondary analyses will have two aims: (1) to assess and describe patterns of stability and change in the prevalence of DSM-IV alcohol abuse and dependence over time, and (2) to analyze the trajectories of alcohol use across young adulthood and relate them to risk factors associated with alcohol use disorders.

拟议研究的总体目标是证明 回答问题的最新统计方法的有用性 酒精研究问题对预防至关重要。要实现 这一目标，拟议的研究将进行次要的 全国青年纵向调查(NLSY)分析 具有全国代表性的12686名年轻人的样本。数据来自 NLSY提供关于发展的广泛的纵向信息 酗酒和依赖。与其他酒精数据有关 消息来源，NLSY的独特之处在于它结合了大样本量， 多个观察时间点，多个队列，以及几个 酒精使用障碍的指标。的纵向性质。 数据为研究糖尿病的病因提供了重要的机会。 酒精使用障碍及其识别的关键因素 处于危险中的个人，对预防研究很重要的问题。 拟议的研究将突出新的统计方法 使用潜在变量结构的分类数据和其他非正态数据 以及反复采取的措施。二次分析将有两个目标：(1) 评估和描述中国经济稳定和变化的模式 随着时间的推移，DSM-IV酒精滥用和依赖的流行率，以及(2) 分析年轻人饮酒的轨迹，以及 将它们与酒精使用障碍相关的风险因素联系起来。
