Social Contaxts and Patterns of Young Adult Smoking

这项研究扩展了对参加新计划的G2父母的765名青少年后代(G3)的初步评估 英格兰家庭研究(Nef)。这项研究将利用独特而广泛的个人和家庭数据 作为TTL_RC-1的一部分从双亲和后代那里收集。种马)，建议进行后续跟进 两次评估，以继续收集个人层面的数据，并扩大跨学科(TI)) Nrefs研究的重点是包括有关社会背景的信息。这将在三个时间内提供信息 前瞻性地考察邻里因素(例如，SES)影响的中介和调节因素 吸烟进展以及酒精和其他药物的联合使用(ATOD)。主要目标包括：a)。检视 吸烟进展和ATOD的邻里劣势指数；将烟草获取作为一种 邻里因素与吸烟进展和ATOD关系的中介；去调查 家庭因素对邻里属性与吸烟进展关系的调节作用 ATOD。还将进行一些探索性的分析，以检查，例如， 易感性，(例如，精神病理学)作为主持人。这项研究带来了TD的视角，以增加 理解以前不同的域之间的关系的潜在机制 社区、社会环境、家庭和个人差异以及吸烟和ATOD的进展。这 _为在TD团队中扩展来自不同背景的科学家的经验提供了一个独特的机会 Tffbrt以更好地理解语境、语义和个人层面之间的相互关系。这是建立在 援引最近的研究表明，吸烟进展的一些关键决定因素包括社区 上下文。

This study extends an initial assessment of 765 adolescent offspring (G3s) of the G2 parents enrolled in the New England Family Study (NEFS). The study will capitalize on the unique and extensive individual and family data being collected from both parents and offspring as part of the TTL_RC-1. The stud), proposes to conduct follow-up assessments on two occasions to continue to collect individual level data and expands the transdisciplinary (TI)) focus of the NEFS study to include information on social contexts. This will provide information at three time points to examine prospectively the mediators and moderators of the effects of neighborhood factors (e.g. SES) on smoking progression and on combined alcohol and other drug use (ATOD). Primary aims include: a). to examine indices of neighborhood disadvantage on smoking progression and ATOD; b). to investigate tobacco access as a mediator of the relationship between neighborhood factor and smoking progression and ATOD; c). to investigate family factors as moderators of the relationship between neighborhood attributes and smoking progression and ATOD. Several exploratory, analyses will also be conducted to examine, for example, individual differences in susceptibility, (e.g., psychopathology) as moderators. This study brings a TD perspective to increase the understanding of the mechanisms underlying the relationships among prcviously disparate domains of neighborhood, social context, family, and individual differences and the progression of smoking and ATOD. This _rovides a unique opportunity to expand the experiences of scientists from different backgounds in a TD team tffbrt to better understand interrelationships among contextual, ¿hmily and indi_ddual level. This builds on ,_xciting recent work that suggests that some of the key determinants of smoking progression include community contexts.
