Development and Pilot of a Parent Based Intervention for Reducing High-risk Social Networking Site Cognitions, Alcohol Use, and Negative Consequences Among Adolescents

项目总结/摘要 未成年人饮酒的流行仍然是一个公共卫生问题。大量研究 据报道，青少年饮酒倾向与父母的态度和信仰，父母的意识 青少年饮酒，父母的监督和父母与青少年的关系和沟通质量。的 在这方面的广泛工作已经导致了以父母为基础的干预（PBI）努力，以防止或减少 青少年饮酒几项独立研究表明，父母接受PBI的青少年 报告说，饮酒较少，与酒精有关的后果也较少。尽管有这些优势，一个主要的 PBI的局限性在于，它们目前没有考虑到社交网站（SNS） 青少年生活中的使用游戏以及与他们的酒精使用有关。大多数（90%）青少年使用SNS， 他们的Facebook、Instagram和Twitter个人资料都包含酒精含量。因此，青少年正在制造和 暴露于SNS酒精显示器，这些显示器与高风险饮酒认知相关， 饮酒因此，我们建议开发和完善一个互动式PBI，旨在减少高风险SNS 认知（即态度和规范），酒精使用，以及青少年的负面影响。实现 研究的目的，我们提出了一个迭代的过程中，重点小组，以发展和完善互动的PBI 将在100名父母/青少年二人组的试点研究中进行1个月和6个月的随访。的目标 这个R34应用程序是为了确定新开发的交互式PBI的可行性和可接受性， 重点是SNS在青少年饮酒中的作用，并确定未来的初步效应量。 问题研究确定一种有效的方法来减少酒精使用和高风险酒精显示认知， 未来的研究机会，利用社会网络为基础的干预措施，因此，拟议的研究 具有很大的潜力作为未来研究的催化剂。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The prevalence of underage alcohol use continues to be a public health concern. Numerous studies have reported associations between teen drinking tendencies and parental attitudes and beliefs, parental awareness of teen drinking, parental monitoring and the quality of the parent–teen relationship and communication. The extensive work in this area has resulted in parent-based intervention (PBI) efforts to prevent or reduce adolescent alcohol use. Several independent studies have indicated that teens whose parents received a PBI reported less alcohol use and fewer alcohol-related consequences. Despite these strengths, one major limitation of PBI is that they do not currently take into account the large role that social networking sites (SNS) use plays in adolescents' lives and in relation to their alcohol use. Most (90%) adolescents are on SNS, and their Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter profiles include alcohol content. Thus, adolescents are making and exposed to SNS alcohol displays and these displays are associated with high-risk drinking cognitions and alcohol use. As such, we propose to develop and refine an interactive PBI designed to reduce high-risk SNS cognitions (i.e. attitudes and norms), alcohol use, and negative consequences among adolescents. To achieve study aims, we propose an iterative process of focus groups in order to develop and refine the interactive PBI to be delivered in the pilot study with 1 and 6 month follow-up among 100 parent/teen dyads. The objective of this R34 application is to establish feasibility and acceptability of the newly developed interactive PBI that focuses on the role of SNS in adolescent alcohol use as well as to determine preliminary effect sizes for future studies. Determining an efficacious way to reduce alcohol use and high-risk alcohol display cognitions affords future research the opportunity to make use of social network-based interventions, thus the proposed research has great potential to serve as a catalyst for future research.
