DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is for a continuation of our current 5-year, NIAAA study, which prospectively examines the effect of retirement on the drinking behavior of workers. The purpose of the research is to examine how different levels of social isolation (i.e., depth and breadth of social support or lack thereof), social control (loss of [or relief from] work based systems or rules governing drinking; permissive drinking norms), stress (e.g., financial insecurity, role underload, marital strain), and social marginalization (e.g., lowered self efficacy, loss of self esteem) experienced during the retirement process impact drinking behavior. The study is unique because, in contrast to other studies, it follows retirement-eligible workers (i.e., 6 months prior to their eligibility for retirement) into their retirement years. In the current study, we have identified three different retirement trajectories (e.g., postponing retirement, partial retirement, and full retirement) and begun to analyze their relationship to social isolation, social control, stress, and social marginalization and workers' drinking behavior. During the first 5 years, we proposed to follow retirement-eligible workers from 6 months before they were eligible to retire until 18 months after retirement. At the time of the original submission, we also stated that we planned to submit a continuation proposal, which would permit us to follow our sample of unionized, blue-collar workers into their retirement years. To date, we have collected qualitative data from blue-collar retirees to generate theoretical insight into the impact of the retirement process on drinking behavior as well as 3 waves of survey data from a unique cohort of retirement-eligible, blue-collar workers to test our hypotheses about retirement's impact on drinking behavior and other yet-to-be-identified effects will only become manifested over time. Over the next five years we propose to collect 3 additional waves of survey data from our cohort sample on the basis of an expanded research model; a model incorporating a number of new constructs and hypotheses generated on the basis of our qualitative data. Thus, the continuation will allow us to examine the full effects of retirement as more retirement-eligible workers opt for full or partial retirement and struggle with the implications of their retirement (e.g., isolation, stress, marginalization) and its effects on their drinking behavior,

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案是我们目前为期5年的NIAAA研究的延续，该研究前瞻性地研究了退休对工人饮酒行为的影响。这项研究的目的是研究不同程度的社会孤立（即，社会支持的深度和广度或缺乏）、社会控制（基于工作的系统或管理饮酒的规则的丧失[或减轻];允许的饮酒规范）、压力（例如，财务不安全、角色负担不足、婚姻紧张）和社会边缘化（例如，在退休过程中经历的自我效能降低、自尊丧失）影响饮酒行为。这项研究是独特的，因为与其他研究相比，它跟踪符合退休条件的工人（即，退休前6个月）。在目前的研究中，我们已经确定了三种不同的退休轨迹（例如，推迟退休、部分退休和完全退休），并开始分析它们与社会孤立、社会控制、压力和社会边缘化以及工人饮酒行为的关系。在最初的5年里，我们建议跟踪符合退休条件的工人，从他们有资格退休前的6个月到退休后的18个月。在最初提交时，我们还表示，我们计划提交一份延续提案，这将使我们能够跟踪我们的工会样本，蓝领工人到他们的退休年龄。到目前为止，我们已经从蓝领退休人员那里收集了定性数据，以从理论上深入了解退休过程对饮酒行为的影响，以及从一个独特的符合退休条件的蓝领工人群体中收集了3波调查数据，以测试我们关于退休对饮酒行为的影响的假设，以及其他尚未确定的影响只会随着时间的推移而显现。在接下来的五年里，我们建议在扩展研究模型的基础上从我们的队列样本中收集另外三波调查数据;该模型包含了一些新的结构和基于我们的定性数据生成的假设。因此，随着越来越多符合退休条件的工人选择完全或部分退休，并与退休的影响作斗争（例如，孤立、压力、边缘化）及其对他们饮酒行为的影响，
