DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Underage drinking and adolescent dating abuse are significant and related public health problems. The frequency of alcohol use is one of the strongest correlates of adolescent dating abuse perpetration. Information about the mechanisms that mediate the relationship between alcohol use and abuse perpetration is needed, as are cost-effective interventions with high-risk youth. The integrated career development plan will prepare the candidate to become an independent investigator with expertise in the intersection of underage alcohol use and dating abuse perpetration. It will provide training and experience in (a) alcohol research, (b) adolescent psychology, (c) translational research methods, (d) structural equation modeling, and (e) human subjects. The K01 research plan is comprised of three related studies. Through Study 1 the candidate will develop and test a conceptual model of the relationship between underage alcohol use and dating abuse perpetration among adolescents who utilize an urban emergency department. Through Study 2 the candidate will develop and test the content validity of an emergency department-based brief intervention that will address dating abuse perpetration, underage alcohol use and their co-occurrence. Through Study 3 the candidate will pilot test the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention in a randomized controlled trial using a racially diverse sample. The proposed research will be supported by the resources of the NIAAA-funded Youth Alcohol Prevention Center at the candidate's institution. It stands to make several important contributions. First, there is a dearth of research on underage drinking among racial minority and non-college-bound adolescents. The proposed research will utilize a sample of adolescents who are primarily non-White and with an elevated rate of school drop-out. Second, the correlation between underage alcohol use and dating abuse perpetration needs explication. The proposed research will test a conceptual model that will yield this information. Finally, there is an urgent need to develop effective interventions for perpetrators of dating abuse. The proposed research will develop and test an emergency department-based brief intervention. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Reducing underage drinking is a component of the NIAAA strategic plan. Although the frequency of alcohol use is one of the strongest correlates of dating abuse perpetration, how underage drinking is related to dating abuse perpetration remains understudied. The proposed research will explicate this relationship and test a brief intervention to address both issues. The career plan will prepare the candidate to undertake independent investigations related to the intersection of underage alcohol use and dating abuse perpetration

描述（由申请人提供）：未成年人饮酒和青少年约会虐待是重大和相关的公共卫生问题。酒精使用的频率是青少年约会虐待行为最密切相关的因素之一。需要关于调节酒精使用和滥用行为之间关系的机制的信息，以及对高风险青年采取具有成本效益的干预措施。综合职业发展计划将使候选人成为一名在未成年人饮酒和约会虐待犯罪交叉领域具有专业知识的独立调查员。它将提供以下方面的培训和经验：(a)酒精研究、(b)青少年心理学、(c)转化研究方法、(d)结构方程建模和(e)人体受试者。K01研究计划由三个相关研究组成。通过研究1，候选人将开发和测试未成年人饮酒与城市急诊科青少年约会虐待行为之间关系的概念模型。通过研究2，候选人将开发和测试基于急诊科的简短干预的内容效度，该干预将解决约会虐待行为，未成年人饮酒及其共同发生的问题。通过研究3，候选人将在使用不同种族样本的随机对照试验中试点测试干预的可行性和可接受性。拟议的研究将由niaaa资助的候选人所在机构的青少年酒精预防中心提供资源支持。它将做出几项重要贡献。首先，对少数族裔和非大学学生中未成年人饮酒的研究非常缺乏。拟议中的研究将利用主要是非白人且辍学率较高的青少年样本。其次，未成年人饮酒与约会虐待行为之间的相关性需要解释。拟议的研究将测试一个概念模型，该模型将产生这些信息。最后，迫切需要为约会虐待的肇事者制定有效的干预措施。拟议的研究将开发和测试一种基于急诊科的简短干预措施。
