PROBLEM DRINKING IN WOMEN--A NATIONAL LONGITUDINAL STUDY

该应用程序旨在增加有关妇女的知识， 饮酒通过进行10年的分层随访调查， 1981年初次访谈的妇女的全国概率抽样 (with 1986年重新采访的子样本）。 1991年的调查将 还包括21-30岁年轻妇女的新样本。 具体目标 （1）确定妇女饮酒的稳定性或变化 1981-1991年十年期间的行为;（2）估计年龄，时期， 和队列效应对女性饮酒的影响;（3）评估 可靠性的回顾性一生饮酒史超过10- （4）建立多变量时间序列模型， 女性问题饮酒的病因;（5）评估如何 生活变化的时间和持续时间会影响女性饮酒 还有酗酒问题 1991年调查的主要初步任务 将包括1986年数据的初步分析和早期定位 的后续答复。 1991年的样本将包括大约760名妇女， 在1981年接受采访，约368名新的受访者年龄21- 1991年30。 专业的面试官将进行75分钟的 后续采访，将重复1981年的问题， 1986年关于目前饮酒和饮酒问题的调查; 终身饮酒史;以及就业、婚姻和 自1981年以来的家庭角色。 其他问题将衡量个性， 社会环境和生活历史变量， 在1981年和1986年的调查中，饮酒，包括自我概念， 抑郁、性和生殖经历以及人际关系 重要的人。 数据分析将包括评价 女性饮酒的时间趋势;年龄、时期和 队列效应;可靠性和回忆偏倚的估计 饮酒行为和相关经历; 饮酒前因的多变量时序模型， 调查的时间和期限， 饮酒行为的因果关系。 1991年的后续调查将产生第一批纵向数据 关于饮酒和饮酒问题， 美国成年女性样本。 调查结果显示， 饮酒问题的模式、前因和后果 妇女可以帮助更有针对性的治疗和预防计划 正是针对患有和处于危险中的妇女的特殊特点， 酗酒相关的问题。

This application proposes to increase knowledge about women's drinking by conducting a lO-year followup survey of a stratified national probability sample of women initially interviewed in 1981 (with a subsample reinterviewed in 1986). The 1991 survey will also include a new sample of young women age 21-30. Specific aims are (1) to identify stability or change in women's drinking behavior during the 1981-1991 decade; (2) to estimate age, period, and cohort effects on women's drinking; (3) to evaluate the reliability of retrospective lifetime drinking histories over a lO- year period; (4) to develop multivariate time-ordered models of the etiology of problem drinking in women; and (5) to evaluate how the timing and duration of life changes affect women's drinking and drinking problems. Major preliminary tasks for the 1991 survey will include preparatory analyses of 1986 data and early locating of followup respondents. The 1991 sample will consist of approximately 760 women previously interviewed in 1981 and approximately 368 new respondents aged 21- 30 in 1991. Professional interviewers will conduct the 75-minute followup interviews, which will repeat questions from the 1981 and 1986 surveys concerning current drinking and drinking problems; lifetime drinking history; and changes in employment, marital, and family roles since 1981. Other questions will measure personality, social-environmental, and life-historical variables related to drinking in the 1981 and 1986 surveys, including self-concept, depression, sexual and reproductive experience, and relationships with significant others. Data analysis will include evaluation of time trends in women's drinking; evaluation of age, period, and cohort effects; estimation of reliability and bias in recall of drinking behavior and related experiences; construction of multivariate time-ordered models of drinking antecedents and consequences; and investigation of timing and duration of an- tecedents and consequences in relation to drinking behavior. The 1991 followup survey will produce the first longitudinal data on drinking and drinking problems from a representative national sample of U.S. adult women. The survey's findings regarding patterns, antecedents, and consequences of drinking problems in women can help target treatment and prevention programs more precisely to the special characteristics of women with and at risk for drinking-related problems.
