ALTERING FAMILY NORMS AND ADOLESCENT ALCOHOL MISUSE

拟议项目的目标是进行纵向研究，以 确定针对改变的以家庭为基础的干预的效果 关于青少年饮酒/误用的父母规范和行为。这个 具体目标是：测试横断面和纵向研究， 父母规范制定概念模型的预测效度， 行为、态度、家庭人口统计、儿童内部和同伴 团体对儿童饮酒/滥用行为的影响；实施和 评估针对更换父母的干预措施的效果 关于酒精使用/滥用的信息、态度、规范制定行为 通过他们的学龄儿童，监督，放任，参与， 和养成；在受控的纵向研究中评估 父母指导干预在改变中的有效性：父母的 关于青少年后果的信息和态度 酒精使用/误用和预防概念；父母的纵容， 与孩子的关系，关于孩子酒精的规范设置 使用/误用，并监测他们孩子的活动；孩子的 父母对酒精使用/滥用规范的看法，父母 参与和父母监督；孩子的自尊和 对同伴压力的敏感性；孩子对同伴规范的看法 关于饮酒/误用，以及儿童饮酒/误用 意图和行为；评估干预对 父母分别为父亲和母亲的行为；评估调停 父母行为的任何变化对父母行为变化的影响 男孩和女孩单独使用/滥用儿童酒精；并提供， 至少，关于可比较性的初步证据 测量和结构模型以及相对有效性 对非裔美国人和高加索人家庭的干预。 五年级约3000名学生，五年级约1000名学生 一年级七年级，和他们的父母。所有学生和家长 将在干预前完成面试并每隔一年进行后测 之后的一年。一半的高加索人和一半的非洲人 美国五年级家庭将随机分配到两个人中的每一个 条件：治疗和对照。七年级的学生和他们的 作为先导研究对象的家庭，其中干预措施是 开发和测试，将包括在样本中，有216个家庭在 一组为治疗组，其余534个家庭为对照组。每个人 五年级和七年级的强化治疗条件家庭 将接受三次干预访问。五级待遇 有条件的家庭将接受三次助推器干预访问 第三年。数据分析将包括重复测量分析 协方差结构模型的方差分析和迭代检验 父母行为和青少年酗酒/滥用。

The goals of the proposed project are to conduct a longitudinal study to determine the effects of a family-based intervention directed at altering parental norms and behavior regarding adolescent alcohol use/misuse. The specific aims are to: test cross-sectional and longitudinal studies, the predictive validity of a conceptual model of parental norm-setting, behavior, attitudes; and family demographic, child intrapersonal and peer group influences on child alcohol use/misuse behavior; implement and evaluate the efficacy of an intervention directed at changing parents information, attitudes, norm-setting behavior regarding alcohol use/misuse by their school-aged children, monitoring, permissiveness, involvement, and nurturance; assess, in a controlled longitudinal study, the effectiveness of the parent-directed intervention in changing: parents' information and, attitudes regarding the consequences of adolescent alcohol use/misuse and prevention concepts; parents permissiveness, involvement with their child, norm-setting regarding their child's alcohol use/misuse, and monitoring of their child's activities; the child's perceptions of parental norms regarding alcohol use/misuse, parental involvement, and parental monitoring; the child's self-esteem and susceptibility to peer pressure; the child's perception of peer norms regarding alcohol use/misuse, and the child's alcohol use/misuse intentions and behavior; assess the effects of the intervention on parents' behavior separately for fathers and mothers; assess the mediating effects of any changes in the parents behavior on changes in the children's alcohol use/misuse separately for boys and girls; and provide, at a minimum, preliminary evidence concerning the comparability of the measurement and structural models and relative efficacy of the intervention for African-American, as well as Caucasian, families. Subjects will be about 3000 students in the fifth grade and 1000 in the seventh grade in year one, and their parents. All students and parents will complete interviews prior to the intervention and be posttested every year thereafter. One-half of the Caucasian and one-half of the African- American fifth grade families will be randomly assigned to each of two conditions: treatment and control. The seventh grade students and their families who were subjects in a pilot study, in which the intervention was developed and tested, will be included in the sample, with 216 families in a treatment group and the remaining 534 families in a control group. Each of the fifth grade and seventh grade booster treatment condition families will receive three intervention visits. The fifth grade treatment condition families will receive three booster intervention visits during year three. The data analyses will consist of repeated measures analysis of variance and iterative testing of covariance structure models of parental practices and adolescent alcohol use/misuse.
