COUNTERING PRESSURES RELATED TO ADOLESCENT ALCOHOL MISUS

拟议项目的长期目标是发展 和青少年饮酒前因的测试模型 滥用并使用这些测试的结果来开发、实施、 评估以学校为基础的社交技能的有效性 预防青少年酗酒方案。这个 项目的具体目标是：1)进行迭代 协方差结构模型的建立与检验 青少年饮酒和误用行为的影响因素 在10年级进行持续的纵向跟踪后测 约2800名学生中有12人经历了 5年级和6年级边际酒精滥用预防计划 为了评估酒精使用和饮酒的不同变化率 治疗、治疗加增强剂与对照之间的误用 小组；3)制定、实施和评估 10年级酒精滥用助推课程减半 对学生进行纵向跟踪研究，以及4) 制定、实施和评估修订后的 扩大酒精滥用预防计划，基于 6级至6级协方差结构模型的迭代检验 8.将对大约1,000人进行试点研究 6、8、10和12年级的学生提供初步估计 协方差结构模型参数的确定和发展 持续纵向跟踪研究的工具和 评估6至8年级的课程。这些乐器 将用于测试最初研究中的2800名学生 10年级的开始和结束以及12年级的结束。 2800名学生中有一半将在 10级，旨在提高对滥用压力的抵抗力 酒精，重点是抵抗涉及到 喝酒。这些仪器还将被用来测试新的样品 在年级开始和结束时大约有4,000名学生 在7年级和8年级结束时。这4000名学生中有一半 将经历修订和扩大的酒精滥用预防 计划，以发展社交技能为中心 以及抵制社会压力，在6年级、7年级滥用酒精 和8.将对纵向数据文件进行分析 不同场合的个人记录都是一致的。调整将是 在对教室内科目测试的分析中做出的 以及在学校内部。对新概念的泛化能力的检验 六至八年级酒精滥用预防课程学校 系统将被实施。

The long-term objectives of the proposed project are to develop and test models of antecedents of adolescent alcohol use and misuse and to use the results of those tests to develop, implement, and evaluate the effectiveness of a school-based social skills program in the prevention of adolescent alcohol misuse. The specific aims of the project are: 1) to conduct iterative development and testing of covariance structure models of antecedents of adolescent alcohol use and misuse behaviors; 2) to conduct continued longitudinal follow-up posttests in grades 10 and 12 of approximately 2,800 students who experienced the marginal alcohol misuse prevention program in grades 5 and 6, in order to assess the differential rates of change in alcohol use and misuse among the treatment, treatment plus booster, and control groups; 3) the development, implementation, and evaluation of a grade 10 alcohol misuse booster curriculum administered to half of the students in the longitudinal follow-up study, and 4) the development, implementation, and evaluation of a revised and expanded alcohol misuse prevention program, based on the iterative tests of covariance structure models, in grades 6 through 8. Pilot studies will be conducted on approximately 1,000 students in grades 6, 8, 10, and 12 to provide the initial estimates of covariance structure model parameters and to develop instruments for the continued longitudinal followup study and the evaluation of the grade 6 through 8 curriculum. The instruments will be used to test the 2,800 students from the original study at the beginning and end of grade 10 and at the end of grade 12. Half of the 2,800 students will experience a booster curriculum in grade 10 designed to increase resistance to pressures to misuse alcohol, with a central focus on resisting situations which involve drinking. The instruments will also be used to test a new sample of approximately 4,000 students at the beginning and end of grade 6 and at the end of grades 7 and 8. Half of these 4,000 students will experience a revised and expanded alcohol misuse prevention program, with a central focus on the development of social skills and resisting social pressures to misuse alcohol, during grades 6, 7 and 8. Analyses will be conducted on longitudinal data files with individual records matched across occasions. Adjustments will be made in the analyses for the testing of subjects within classrooms and within schools. A test of the generalizability of the new grade 6 through 8 alcohol misuse prevention curriculum school systems will be conducted.
