VULNERABILITY FACTORS AND ADOLESCENT DRINKING

本建议是对以下方面进行前瞻性纵向研究的第二阶段： 两代同堂家庭中的饮酒和其他问题行为 study. 研究的第一阶段包括四波面板设计 对1,000多名青少年及其主要照顾者进行了调查， 每隔六个月举行一次。 第一次会议的主要焦点 阶段是使用寿命发展的观点来指导假设 关于多重和相互作用的脆弱性或风险因素， 有助于外化（例如，酒精和药物使用， 犯罪活动）和内化（例如，抑郁症状， 自杀行为）领域，以及一系列脆弱性因素， 测量的（例如，家族酗酒史，童年行为 问题、性情、家庭/朋友支持）。 现时的建议 试图扩展这种多元发展风险范式， 专注于年轻人的角色转变（例如，单身， 学生就业）。 年轻人常常被描述为 饮酒行为的不稳定期，具有显著的过渡性 事件（例如，影响饮酒和其他问题 行为。 与该项目的第一阶段类似， 可持续性因素和内外化问题将 进行测量，以促进关于替代方案的假设检验 问题行为的发展途径， 例如，对于男性和女性，对于累积的问题饮酒者， 青春期以后和以后出现问题的饮酒者）。 扩大 该项目这一阶段的特点是重点关注主要照顾者 （主要是女性）在同一个多变量的发展 脆弱性因素/问题行为模型。 这 这将有助于对一个相对较大的非临床研究的纵向研究。 妇女的抽样，并能够评估正在进行的代际 主要照顾者和他们的成年人之间的双向影响 孩子 直接采访将用于第一波 在第二阶段进行测量，并在一年后进行邮件调查 为了第二波。 数据分析程序用于研究 纵向关系将包括结构方程建模，日志， 线性和潜在类建模，以及生存分析。

This proposal is the second phase of a prospective longitudinal study of alcohol use and other problem behaviors in a two-generational family study. The first phase of the study included a four-wave panel design of over 1,000 adolescents and their primary caregivers, with measurement occasions spaced at six-month intervals. The primary focus of the first phase was to use a lifespan developmental perspective to guide hypotheses about multiple and interacting vulnerability, or risk, factors that contribute to both externalizing (e.g., alcohol and substance use, delinquent activity) and internalizing (e.g., depressive symptoms, suicidal behaviors) domains, and a range of vulnerability factors were measured (e.g., family history of alcoholism, childhood behavior problems, temperament, family/friend support). The current proposal seeks to extend this multivariate developmental risk paradigm with a focus on role transitions in young adulthood (e.g., single-married, student-employed). Young adulthood has often been characterized as a period of instability of drinking behavior, with salient transitional events (e.g., getting married) impacting on drinking and other problem behaviors. Similar to the first phase of this project, multiple venerability factors and internalizing and externalizing problems will be measured to facilitate hypothesis-testing about alternative developmental pathways to problem behaviors in young adulthood for example, for men and women, for cumulative problem drinkers from adolescence onward and later onset problem drinkers). An expanded feature of this phase of the project is to focus on primary caregivers (primarily women) within the same multivariate developmental vulnerability factor/problem behavior model as the adolescents. This will facilitate the longitudinal study of a relatively large nonclinical sample of women, and enable the evaluation of ongoing intergenerational and bidirectional influences between primary caregivers and their adult children. Direct interviews will be used for the first wave of measurement in phase two, and a mail survey will be used one year later for the second wave. Data analytic procedures used to study the longitudinal relations will include structural equation modeling, log- linear and latent class modeling, and survival analysis.
