DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Information on the development of involvement with alcohol between childhood and adolescence is lacking. Most longitudinal studies of alcohol use have started with adolescents and followed them into adulthood. Consequently, more is known about the natural history of alcohol involvement from adolescence on, despite recent findings showing early onset alcohol use as a risk factor for later alcohol problems. In addition, little is known about the development of risk factors for adolescent drinking because these have generally not been assessed prior to adolescence. Nor is information available regarding the influence of preadolescent risk factors on alcohol use onset and transitions into problematic alcohol use in adolescence. Such Information can have important implications for the design of alcohol prevention programs in the elementary schools. This is an application to fund the continuation into adolescence of the Teen to Teen Study, an ongoing longitudinal study of over 400 Caucasian and African-American 8- and 10-year-old children and their families, from whom seven previous waves of data will have been collected. The study is unique in its measurement of alcohol socialization influences and personality and attitudinal risk factors for later alcohol involvement. An important feature of the study is the 6-month interval between interviews, allowing us to capture rapid changes in these antecedents as well as to estimate more precisely the relation between developments in risk and drinking onset. In addition to the target children, the sample consists of their biological mothers, their biological fathers (or mother's current partner), an older same-sex sibling (if available), and one or two close friends. Retention of the sample over time has exceeded 90% through the first five waves of data collection, establishing a firm basis for the continuation of the study into adolescence when their alcohol involvement will escalate. An additional seven waves of data collection are proposed in the present application to provide nearly continuous assessment of these two cohorts of children every six months from ages 8 and 10 through ages 15 and 17, respectively.

说明(申请人提供)：缺乏关于儿童至青春期酗酒的发展情况的资料。大多数关于饮酒的纵向研究都是从青少年开始，一直跟踪到他们成年。因此，人们从青春期开始就对酒精参与的自然历史有了更多的了解，尽管最近的研究结果表明，早期饮酒是以后酒精问题的一个风险因素。此外，人们对青少年饮酒风险因素的发展知之甚少，因为这些因素通常在青春期之前没有得到评估。也没有关于青春期前风险因素对青春期酒精使用开始和过渡到有问题的酒精使用的影响的信息。这些信息可以对小学预防酒精项目的设计产生重要的影响。这项申请是为了资助青少年到青少年研究的继续进行，这是一项正在进行的纵向研究，对400多名8岁和10岁的高加索人和非裔美国人及其家庭进行研究，将从他们那里收集到之前的七波数据。这项研究在测量酒精社会化影响以及以后饮酒的个性和态度风险因素方面是独一无二的。这项研究的一个重要特点是两次访谈之间有6个月的间隔，这让我们能够捕捉到这些前因的快速变化，并更准确地估计风险发展和饮酒开始之间的关系。除了目标儿童，样本还包括他们的亲生母亲、他们的生父(或母亲目前的伴侣)、一个年长的同性兄弟姐妹(如果有)，以及一两个亲密的朋友。随着时间的推移，样本在前五波数据收集中的保留率超过了90%，为继续研究到青少年时期奠定了坚实的基础，届时他们对酒精的依赖将会升级。本申请建议再进行七次数据收集，分别从8岁和10岁到15岁和17岁，每六个月对这两组儿童进行一次几乎连续的评估。
