A Cognitive Analysis of Riding With Drinking Drivers in Emerging Adults

 描述(申请人提供)：新兴成年人酒后驾车的认知分析。虽然公共卫生工作的重点是减少酒后驾车，但相比之下，减少与酒后驾车的乘客(RWDD)的关注较少。由于乘客占所有与酒精有关的车辆死亡人数的16%，这表明在预防研究方面存在重大差距。新兴成年人是一个高危群体，18-24岁的人因酒精相关车祸而死亡的比例最高，RWDD的比例也最高。在15-20岁的人中，几乎有一半的人报告患有RWDD，因此必须了解RWDD的预测因素，以减少年轻人中可预防的死亡。目前的提案将利用Turrisi的纵向多地点研究(项目PACT R01 AA012529)中的1600个学生-父母二元组的大而多样的样本来考察父母对学生饮酒的影响。虽然PACT的主要目标是检查父母和学生饮酒之间的联系及其后果，但拟议的研究将通过建立一个研究项目来扩展这项工作，该项目检查学生和父母对新兴成人大学生RWDD的预测因素。在这方面，本研究的目的如下：1)使用多地点的新兴成人大学生样本来检验RWDD的多变量和基于理论的近端、远端和背景预测因素；2)使用多变量和以人为中心的方法来检验基于理论的父母沟通对RWDD风险的预测因素，以及这种沟通与学生RWDD态度、父母规范和形象原型之间的关联。研究结果将确定RWDD的最大风险个人，并向预防工作提供关于减少伤害和死亡的最佳干预方法。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A Cognitive Analysis of Riding with Drinking Drivers in Emerging Adults. While public health efforts have focused on reducing drunk drivers, by comparison less attention has been directed toward reducing passengers riding with drinking drivers (RWDD). Since passengers make up 16% percent of all alcohol-related vehicle fatalities, this indicates a significant gap in prevention research. Emerging adults are a high-risk group, with individuals aged 18-24 having the highest rates of fatalities due to alcohol related crashes and highest rates of RWDD. Almost half of individuals aged 15-20 report having RWDD, making it imperative to understand predictors of RWDD to decrease preventable deaths in young people. The current proposal will utilize the large and diverse sample of 1600 student-parent dyads in Turrisi's longitudinal, multisite study examining parent influences on student drinking (Project PACT R01 AA012529). While the main objective of PACT is to examine associations between parents and student drinking and consequences, the proposed research would extend this work by building on a research program examining both student and parental predictors of emerging adult college student RWDD. To this extent the aims are as follows: 1) To examine multivariate and theory-based proximal, distal and contextual predictors of RWDD using a multisite sample of emerging adult college students, and 2) To use both multivariate and person centered approaches to examine theoretically-based predictors of parental communication of RWDD risk and the association between this communication and student RWDD attitudes, parental norms, and image prototype. The results of the research will identify individuals who are at the greatest risk for RWDD and inform prevention efforts about the best ways of intervening to reduce injuries and fatalities.
