拟议项目的目标是进行纵向研究， 确定以家庭为基础的干预措施的效果， 父母规范和行为有关青少年酒精使用/滥用。的 具体目标是：测试横截面和纵向研究， 父母标准设定的概念模型的预测效度， 行为，态度;和家庭人口，儿童的自我和同伴 小组对儿童酒精使用/滥用行为的影响;实施和 评估针对改变父母的干预措施的有效性 关于酒精使用/滥用的信息、态度、规范制定行为 由他们的学龄儿童，监测，宽容，参与， 和养育;在一项对照纵向研究中， 家长主导的干预在改变中的有效性：家长的 关于青少年暴力后果的信息和态度 酒精使用/滥用和预防概念;父母的纵容， 参与他们的孩子，关于他们的孩子的酒精标准制定 使用/滥用，并监测其儿童的活动;儿童的 对父母关于酒精使用/滥用的规范的看法，父母 参与和父母的监督;孩子的自尊和 对同伴压力的敏感性;孩子对同伴规范的感知 关于酒精使用/滥用，以及儿童的酒精使用/滥用 意图和行为;评估干预措施对 父母的行为分别为父亲和母亲;评估中介 父母行为的任何变化对父母行为变化的影响 儿童酒精使用/滥用分别为男孩和女孩;并提供， 最低限度，初步证据的可比性， 计量和结构模型以及 为非裔美国人以及高加索人家庭提供干预。 受试者将是大约3000名五年级学生和1000名 七年级的学生和他们的父母所有的学生和家长 将在干预前完成访谈，并在干预后进行测试， 年后。一半的白人和一半的非洲人 美国五年级的家庭将被随机分配到两个 条件：处理和对照。七年级学生和他们的 在一项试点研究中， 开发和测试，将包括在样本中，216个家庭， 治疗组和对照组的其余534个家庭。每个 五年级和七年级加强治疗条件家庭中 将接受三次干预访问。第五级治疗 条件家庭将接受三个助推器干预访问期间， 第三年。数据分析将包括重复测量分析 协方差结构模型的迭代检验 父母的做法和青少年饮酒/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.
