A risk factor for elevated alcohol-use among females in young adulthood

(7)项目摘要/摘要： 拟议的独立之路奖的主要目标是加速和完成 阿米莉亚·塔利博士在酒精相关研究方面的培训和作为一名独立医生开始的职业生涯 拥有终身教职的科学家助理教授职位。塔利博士是一名心理学家，也是博士后研究员。 在密苏里大学(MU)获得NIAAA T32培训补助金。为期2年的K99阶段将完成Dr. Tley在检查成年初期的酒精使用模式方面的培训，重点是 性少数人群及其与酒精相关的动机决定因素。使用 在监督下，Tley博士将：(C)完全适应一定程度的性自我概念冲突；(B)检查 女性饮酒行为的模式和动机决定性自我概念 (C)参加与酒精使用和滥用有关的课程、讲习班和会议，定性和 高级量化数据分析、身份形成和专业发展问题；以及(D)试点所有 实验程序和材料。Tley博士还将把她的部分时间用于传播 通过准备和提交手稿，咨询酒精专家和 性少数群体物质的使用，以及为全国求职准备材料。被提名的导师， 谢尔博士和顾问伍德、斯坦利、巴索洛、休斯和戴蒙德博士都是大学饮酒方面的专家， 纵向统计建模、多元统计建模、酒精给药方法，女性 性少数物质使用和女性性认同发展分别为。Mu是世界级的 研究机构，拥有完成K99目标所需的资源。为期3年的Roo阶段将 允许Tley博士(A)进行一系列实验研究，检查两者之间关系的调节因素 性自我概念冲突和饮酒(B)建立她的实验室(C)继续准备和 传播研究成果，以及(D)向NIAAA提交R01。这项研究扩展了塔利博士的研究 关于性少数物质使用行为的调查(A)性自我概念冲突在青少年中的作用 确定女性饮酒行为的病因和病程，以及(B)解释变量 可能解释了报告性自我概念冲突的女性的酒精使用行为。研究结果 将为Tley博士的R01提交提供试点数据。目前的目标也与NIAAA(2005)的目标一致 表示希望“在更广泛的LGBT人群中进行进一步研究”，以“改善服务” 以及在预防和治疗LGBT人群酗酒方面的成果。

(7) Project Summary/Abstract: The major objectives of the proposed Pathway to Independence Award are the acceleration and completion of Dr. Amelia Talley's training in alcohol-related research and the launching of her career as an independent scientist with a tenure-track assistant professor position. Dr. Talley is a psychologist and a postdoctoral fellow on an NIAAA T32 training grant at the University of Missouri (MU). The 2-year K99 Phase will complete Dr. Talley's training in the examination of patterns of alcohol use during emerging adulthood, with an emphasis on sexual minority populations and the associated motivational determinants of alcohol involvement. With supervision, Dr. Talley will: (c) complete adaptation of a measure of sexual self-concept conflict; (b) examine patterns and motivational determinates of alcohol use behaviors among women evidencing sexual self-concept conflict; (c) attend courses, workshops, and conferences related to alcohol use and misuse, qualitative and advanced quantitative data analysis, identity formation, and professional development issues; and (d) pilot all experimental procedures and materials. Dr. Talley will also dedicate a portion of her time to the dissemination of research findings through manuscript preparation and submission, consultation with experts on alcohol and sexual minority substance use, and preparation of materials for a national job search. The proposed mentor, Dr. Sher, and consultants, Drs. Wood, Steinley, Bartholow, Hughes & Diamond are experts in college drinking, longitudinal statistical modeling, multivariate statistical modeling, alcohol administration methodology, female sexual minority substance use, and female sexual identity development, respectively. MU is a world-class research institution, with the resources necessary to complete the aims of the K99. The 3-year ROO Phase will allow Dr. Talley to (a) conduct a series of experimental studies examining moderators of the relation between sexual self-concept conflict and alcohol consumption (b) establish her laboratory (c) continue preparation and dissemination of research findings, and (d) submit an R01 to NIAAA. This study extends Dr. Talley's research on sexual minority substance use behaviors to investigate (a) the role of sexual self-concept conflict in determining etiology and course of alcohol use behaviors among women and (b) explanatory variables that may account for alcohol use behaviors among women who report sexual self-concept conflict. Study findings will provide pilot data for Dr. Talley's R01 submission. The current aims are also in-line with NIAAA's (2005) expressed desire "to further research with a broader representation of LGBT individuals" to "improve services and outcomes in the prevention and treatment of alcohol abuse among LGBT individuals."
