This is a competitive supplement to an existing National Alcohol Research Center grant, to establish a major component of that center dealing with behavioral links between alcohol and AIDS. The proposed research focuses on alcohol's involvement in behaviors that increase the risk of contracting AIDS, in particular through sexual risk-taking. Both survey and experimental methodologies are employed. Three main aims guide the proposed research program: (1) To develop estimates of the incidence and prevalence of sexual risk-taking and drinking in several populations. (2) To examine psychosocial mediators or theoretical, models for the connection between drinking and sexual risk-taking--including examination of the roles of beliefs and expectations about alcohol's effects, normative perceptions of intoxicated behavior, sexual attitudes, perceptions of AIDS risk, and more generalized risk-taking tendencies. (3) To examine process and change in the interrelationships among drinking, drug use, and sexual behavior. A five-year series of interrelated substudies is proposed, comprising: (a) A national survey (in conjunction with a scheduled 1989 national survey of drinking practices) to explore drinking and sexual behavior, perceptions of and attitudes towards AIDS, and including an oversampling of youths and young adults in order to study this specially at-risk subgroup. (b) A longitudinal follow-up of youth and young adults in order to chart individual and historical change in drinking and sexual practices. (c) Studies of national samples of Black and Hispanic adults, including a longitudinal link to ARG's 1984 national survey. (d) Studies in the general population and of the criminal justice population of Contra Costa County, California, in the context of a Community Epidemiology Laboratory. (e) And, finally, a series of social-psychological experimental studies designed to offer convergent evidence on alcohol's role in sexual risk-taking.

这是对现有国家酒精研究的一个有竞争力的补充 中心赠款，以建立该中心的一个主要组成部分， 酒精和艾滋病之间的联系 建议的研究重点 酒精参与的行为会增加 感染艾滋病，特别是通过性冒险。 两次调查 并采用实验方法。 三个主要目标指导 建议的研究计划：（1）估计发病率， 在一些人群中，性冒险和饮酒的流行率。 （二） 研究心理社会中介或理论模型， 饮酒和性冒险之间的联系-包括检查 关于酒精影响的信念和期望的作用， 对醉酒行为的规范性认知，性态度， 对艾滋病风险的认识，以及更普遍的冒险倾向。 (3)审查进程和变化的相互关系， 酗酒吸毒和性行为 一个为期五年的系列 提出了相互关联的子研究，包括：（a）全国调查（在 与预定的1989年全国饮酒习惯调查相结合） 探索饮酒和性行为， 艾滋病，包括对青年和年轻人的过度抽样， 来研究这个高危人群。 (b)纵向 对青年和青年人进行跟踪， 饮酒和性行为的历史性变化。 (c)研究 黑人和西班牙裔成年人的国家样本，包括纵向 1984年全国调查。 (d)对一般人群的研究 以及加州康特拉科斯塔县的刑事司法人口， 在社区流行病学实验室的背景下。 (e)最后， 一系列社会心理学实验研究， 关于酒精在性冒险中的作用的趋同证据。
