Abstract This administrative supplement proposes to re-survey Pacific Islander young adults from our parent R21 to understand their unique alcohol risks and harms during, and in response to, the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, we will survey 18-30-year old young adult participants in two large Pacific Islander communities that have been deeply affected by the COVID-19 crisis: Samoans in Los Angeles County and Marshallese in Northwest Arkansas. In prior R21 data collected from these participants, we determined that Pacific Islander young adults are at exceptional risk for alcohol misuse and related harms with an alarming 56% of participants screening positive for hazardous drinking, 49% for alcohol use disorder, and 40% experiencing significant alcohol-related harms. It is in this context of elevated alcohol burden and high-risk drinking that community concern has emerged regarding the potential negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Pacific Islander young adults’ alcohol- related behaviors and health outcomes; as many work in high-risk settings such as meat-packing factories— the number one source of COVID-19 outbreaks in the U.S. The specific goals of this research are to (1) assess Pacific Islander young adults’ COVID-19-related knowledge and risk of exposure, and (2) re-assess their alcohol use, misuse, comorbid substance use, and alcohol-related harms. Using remote survey methods designed to assess substance use in Pacific Islander community populations, the information gathered in this study will allow us to explore participants’ data longitudinally to understand the scope of Pacific Islanders’ exposure to COVID-19-related (1) health challenges, and (2) changes in Pacific Islanders’ alcohol use and associated harms. The findings of this study will be disseminated to Pacific Islander stakeholders and response teams to support ongoing community efforts to increase public awareness of Pacific Islander health disparities during this urgent health crisis.

抽象的 本行政补充建议对太平洋岛民的年轻人进行重新调查，从我们的父母 R21 到 了解在 COVID-19 大流行期间以及应对期间其独特的酒精风险和危害。 具体来说，我们将调查两个大型太平洋岛民社区的 18-30 岁年轻成人参与者 深受 COVID-19 危机影响的人群：洛杉矶县的萨摩亚人和马绍尔人 阿肯色州西北部。 在之前从这些参与者收集的 R21 数据中，我们确定太平洋岛民的年轻人处于 酒精滥用和相关危害的特殊风险，高达 56% 的参与者筛查结果呈阳性，令人震惊 49% 的人患有危险饮酒，49% 的人患有酒精使用障碍，40% 的人经历过与酒精相关的严重伤害。 正是在酒精负担增加和高风险饮酒的背景下，社区开始关注 关于 COVID-19 大流行对太平洋岛民年轻人酗酒的潜在负面影响’- 相关行为和健康结果；因为许多人在肉类包装工厂等高风险环境中工作—— 美国 COVID-19 疫情的第一大来源 本研究的具体目标是 (1) 评估太平洋岛民年轻人与 COVID-19 相关的情况 知识和暴露风险，以及 (2) 重新评估他们的饮酒、误用、共病物质使用，以及 使用旨在评估太平洋岛民药物使用情况的远程调查方法。 社区人口，本研究中收集的信息将使我们能够探索参与者的数据 纵向了解太平洋岛民接触 COVID-19 相关 (1) 健康的范围 挑战，以及 (2) 太平洋岛民饮酒情况的变化及相关危害。 将分发给太平洋岛民利益相关者和响应团队，以支持正在进行的社区 提高公众对这场紧急健康危机期间太平洋岛国工作人员健康差异的认识。
