Alcohol Epidemiological Data System (AEDS)

国家酒精滥用和酒精中毒研究所(NIAAA)是美国国家卫生研究院、美国卫生与公众服务部的一个组成部分，是美国研究酒精滥用、酒精中毒和其他酒精对健康影响的牵头机构。NIAAA通过以下方式在减少酒精相关问题的国家努力中发挥领导作用：1)开展和支持广泛科学领域的研究，包括遗传学、神经科学、流行病学、酒精消费的健康风险和益处、预防和治疗；2)在酒精相关问题上与其他研究机构和联邦计划协调和合作；3)与从事酒精相关工作的国际、国家、州和地方机构、组织、机构和计划合作；以及4)向医疗保健提供者、研究人员、政策制定者和公众翻译和传播研究结果。 NIAAA的研究由NlAAA 2006-2010年研究战略计划指导，该计划提出了研究机会，以增加对人们饮酒的原因、方式和时间以及酒精使用障碍(AUD)的发展的了解。NlAAA战略计划通过应用寿命视角为酒精研究增加了一个新的方向--考虑饮酒行为的出现和发展如何在一个人的一生中受到多种变化(生物学、心理学以及社会和环境输入)的影响。从寿命的角度看待酒精使用和酒精问题将提供知识，通过早期识别和干预，将大大有助于降低酒精中毒和其他与酒精有关的障碍的流行率，并有助于治疗这些障碍。NIAAA力求通过整合和应用流行病学和预防科学来减少与酒精有关的死亡率和发病率以及其他与酒精有关的问题和后果：1)设定国家研究优先事项；2)鼓励和支持国家研究、培训和职业发展；3)促进NIAAA与其他组织之间的对话与合作；4)传播信息。酒精流行病学数据系统(AEDS)是一项合同资助的工作，旨在为NIAAA进行研究和研究传播计划提供重大援助。AEDS合同的重点是对调查数据进行二级数据分析，并收集二级调查数据以供科学报告使用。

The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), a component of the National Institutes of Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is the lead agency in this country for research on alcohol abuse, alcoholism, and other health effects of alcohol. NIAAA provides leadership in the national effort to reduce alcohol-related problems by: 1) conducting and supporting research in a wide range of scientific areas including genetics, neuroscience, epidemiology, health risks and benefits of alcohol consumption, prevention, and treatment; 2) coordinating and collaborating with other research institutes and Federal Programs on alcohol-related issues; 3) collaborating with international, national, state, and local institutions, organizations, agencies, and programs engaged in alcohol-related work; and 4) translating and disseminating research findings to health care providers, researchers, policymakers, and the public. NIAAA research is guided by the NlAAA Strategic Plan for Research, 2006-2010, which sets forth research opportunities to increase understanding of why, how, and when people drink, and the development of alcohol use disorders (AUD). The NlAAA Strategic Plan adds a new direction to alcohol studies by applying the lifespan perspective -- the consideration of how the emergence and progression of drinking behavior is influenced by multiple changes (in biology, psychology, and in exposure to social and environmental inputs) over a person's lifetime. Viewing alcohol use and alcohol problems through a lifespan perspective will provide knowledge that will, through early identification and intervention, significantly contribute to the ability to decrease the prevalence of alcoholism and other alcohol-related disorders, and to the treatment of these disorders. NIAAA seeks to reduce alcohol-related mortality and morbidity and other alcohol-related problems and consequences through the integration and application of epidemiology and prevention science by: 1) setting national research priorities; 2) stimulating and supporting national research, training and career development; 3) promoting dialogue and collaboration between NIAAA and other organizations; 4) disseminating information. The Alcohol Epidemiological Data System (AEDS) is a contract-funded effort to provide major assistance to NIAAA in the conduct of its research and research dissemination program. The focus of the AEDS contract is secondary data analysis of survey data and collection of secondary survey data for use in scientific reports.
