A cross-national longitudinal comparison of modifiable influences for the development of harmful young adult alcohol use in Washington State, USA, and Victoria, Australia.

虽然青年期是酗酒问题严重的时期，但问题的发生率和政策反应在各国之间存在差异。这个项目将在2013-14年对美国华盛顿州24岁的成年人进行调查，这些成年人最初是在2002年招募的（年龄13岁），每年在14岁和15岁时进行调查。该样本已被匹配，以便将行为和纵向影响与澳大利亚维多利亚州的等效纵向队列进行比较（合并N = 1556）。

Although young adulthood is a time of high alcohol problems, there is cross-national variation in rates of problems and policy responses. This project will survey age 24 adults in Washington State in the USA in 2013-14 that were initially recruited in 2002 (aged 13) and annually resurveyed at ages 14 and 15. The sample has been matched to enable comparison of behaviours and longitudinal influences to an equivalent longitudinal cohort being followed in Victoria, Australia (Combined N = 1,556).
