DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In order to learn more about where and how youth obtain alcohol and how the source of alcohol, drinking context, drinking behaviors, and community-level alcohol policies and enforcement are related, we propose to undertake a study that combines qualitative and quantitative methods. Specifically we will undertake (a) in- depth semi-structured interviews with 50 young drinkers identified from an ongoing a longitudinal survey of youth ages 13 to 16 from geographically diverse California cities, and (b) expand the questionnaire for the final wave of that survey by adding detailed questions on youth access to alcohol and drinking context that will be developed from the qualitative interviews. The proposed research has three specific aims: 1. To obtain a detailed qualitative description of the social and commercial pathways through which youth obtain alcohol and the context within which alcohol is consumed. To address this aim we will undertake semi-structured interviews with young drinkers identified in an ongoing survey. 2. To develop a comprehensive set of questions to address sources of alcohol and of drinking contexts based on the data from the qualitative component of the proposed research. These items will ask details about issues such as how alcohol was obtained on the last drinking occasion, who provided the alcohol (e.g., age, gender, relationship to the drinker), where drinking took place, and how much was consumed. 3. To obtain population data on sources of alcohol and drinking contexts. To achieve this aim, the measures developed from the quantitative study will be applied in a large community survey to investigate (a) prevalence estimates for use of specific sources of alcohol and drinking in specific contexts, (b) how are the use of different sources of alcohol and drinking in specific contexts related to alcohol consumption patterns, and (c) how individual and community characteristics (e.g., local policies and enforcement levels, median income, neighborhood disadvantage, and other population characteristics) relate to the use of different social and commercial sources for alcohol by youth. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Findings from this study will (1) will inform prevention efforts designed to limit youth access to alcohol by identifying where and how youth obtain alcohol both generally and in specific communities, and (2) inform community-based policy and enforcement efforts by highlighting how youth access to alcohol and drinking contexts are related to existing policies. Gaining an understanding of how youth access alcohol and how these sources relate to drinking behaviors and contexts will allow the development of more effective policies and programs and allow interventions to be more efficiently targeted at at-risk groups.

描述(由申请者提供)：为了更多地了解青少年在哪里以及如何获得酒精，以及酒精来源、饮酒环境、饮酒行为和社区层面的酒精政策和执行之间的关系，我们建议进行一项定性和定量相结合的研究。具体地说，我们将(A)对50名年轻饮酒者进行深入的半结构化访谈，这些人来自正在进行的对来自不同地理位置的加州城市的13至16岁青年的纵向调查，以及(B)通过增加将从定性访谈中得出的关于青少年饮酒机会和饮酒背景的详细问题，来扩展调查最后一波的问卷。拟议的研究有三个具体目标：1.对青年获得酒精的社会和商业途径以及酒精消费的背景进行详细的定性描述。为了实现这一目标，我们将对一项正在进行的调查中确定的年轻饮酒者进行半结构化采访。2.根据拟议研究的定性部分的数据，提出一套全面的问题，以解决酒精的来源和饮酒情况。这些项目将询问有关问题的细节，如上次饮酒时如何获得酒精、谁提供了酒精(例如，年龄、性别、与饮酒者的关系)、在哪里饮酒以及消费了多少。3.获得关于酒精来源和饮酒情况的人口数据。为实现这一目标，量化研究制定的措施将用于一项大型社区调查，以调查(A)在特定背景下使用特定酒精来源和饮酒的普及率估计，(B)在特定环境中使用不同酒精来源和饮酒与酒精消费模式有何关系，以及(C)个人和社区特征(例如，地方政策和执法水平、收入中位数、社区劣势和其他人口特征)与青年使用不同社会和商业酒精来源有何关系。 与公共健康有关：这项研究的结论将：(1)通过确定青年在哪里以及如何在特定社区获得酒精，为旨在限制青年饮酒的预防工作提供信息；(2)通过强调青年获得酒精和饮酒环境与现有政策的关系，为基于社区的政策和执法工作提供信息。了解青少年如何饮酒以及这些来源与饮酒行为和环境的关系将有助于制定更有效的政策和方案，并使干预措施能够更有效地针对高危群体。
