2000 NATIONAL ALCOHOL AND GENERAL POPULATION SURVEYS

描述：拟议的研究分析了01-04年国家酒精 调查（NAS）数据收集下05年的当前中心赠款（N = 10，000）。NAS 10调查使用随机数字抽样的代表性美国 18岁及以上的家庭人口。面试通过电话进行， 平均持续20分钟（戒酒者）到45分钟（酗酒者）。设计 包括少数族裔的过样本（2,000名非洲裔美国人和2,000名西班牙裔美国人） 包括在美国所有50个州和华盛顿特区的采访， 至少70%指定。许多问题都是从以前的NAS调查中复制出来的， 从而可以比较追溯到1979年的五年趋势估计数。项目 内容包括酒精消费模式的措施，酒精相关的 问题，饮酒的情境规范，与酒精相关的后果， 醉酒驾驶和伤害，酒精依赖症状，认知和社会 协变量和人口统计学。其他项目查询受访者？使用服务 例如急诊室，酒精治疗计划的经验， 支持酒精政策。ARG中心是唯一能够研究趋势的机构 在这一系列与政策相关的健康变量中。分析报告 本报告期内将提供与酒精有关的 在千禧年结束时的行为，并加强监督 评估《2000年健康人》政策目标实现情况所需的数据。到 研究潜在的影响机制，趋势将增加新的分析年龄段， 群组效应我们预测最近酒精消费的变化 和相关问题将独立于性别，但将因种族而异 组和出生队列。我们希望发现服务利用率 不同的种族，性别和地区。增加的样本量将 大大提高了我们对风险函数估计的精度， 关于“更安全”饮酒水平的国家政策建议。我们预计 风险曲线会因社会经济地位、性别、种族和个性而异 比如冲动我们希望发现越来越多的差异化， 公共政策的支持率较高，但可能有所下降， 酒精获取，提供健康信息，并增加获得治疗的机会 服务还计划进行方法研究，以验证调查结果， 详细的比较，以评估面试模式的效果和特点， 在1995年和2000年的调查中，种族抽样过多。NAS系列服务于 中心的主要综合功能，并解决所有中心的目标。

DESCRIPTION: The proposed study analyzes in years 01-04 National Alcohol Survey (NAS) data collected under year 05 of the current Center grant (N = 10,000). The NAS10 survey uses random digit sampling of a representative US household population 18 and over. Interviews are conducted by telephone and last 20 (abstainers) to 45 minutes (heavy drinkers) on average. The design includes minority oversamples (2,000 African Americans and 2,000 Hispanics) and involves interviews in all 50 US states plus DC, with a response rate of at least 70% specified. Many questions are replicated from prior NAS surveys, allowing comparability of 5-yearly trend estimates going back to 1979. Item content includes measures of alcohol consumption patterns, alcohol-related problems, situational norms for drinking, alcohol-related consequences such as drunk driving and injuries, alcohol dependence symptoms, cognitive and social covariates, and demographics. Other items query respondents? use of services such as emergency rooms, experiences with alcohol treatment programs, and support for alcohol policies. The ARG Center is uniquely able to study trends in this broad array of policy-relevant health variables. Analyses in the current period will provide a detailed epidemiological profile of alcohol-related behaviors at the end of the millennium and augment the surveillance data required to assess attainment of policy goals for Healthy People 2000. To study underlying mechanisms of influence, trends will add new analyses of age-period- cohort effects. We predict that recent changes in alcohol consumption and related problems will be independent of gender, but will differ by ethnic group, and birth cohort. We expect to find that rates of service utilization differ by ethnicity, gender, and region. The increased sample size will greatly increase precision of risk function estimates we make, sharpening our national policy recommendations regarding "safer" drinking levels. We expect that risk curves will differ by SES, gender, ethnicity, and personality factors like impulsivity. We expect to find increasingly differentiated and high levels of, but possibly declining support for, public policies that limit alcohol access, provide health information, and increase access to treatment services. Methodological studies are also planned to validate findings, with detailed comparisons to assess interview mode effects and characteristics of ethnic oversamples between the 1995 and 2000 surveys. The NAS series serves a major integrative function in the Center and addresses all Center aims.
