项目摘要

ABSTRACT The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the lives and well-being of people across the world. In the United States, different states have adopted different measures to limit the spread of COVID-19, but the impact of a slowed economy, increased social isolation, and the loss of typically-available support services has disproportionally affected racial and ethnic minorities, as well as those in disadvantaged socioeconomic groups. Tobacco, marijuana, alcohol, opioid, and illicit drug users are likely vulnerable to COVID-19 because of the effects of those substances on the respiratory and immune systems, and people who are in treatment or recovery from substance misuse may be at risk for relapse because of increased mental health issues and additional barriers to obtaining treatment and support. There are indications that substance use has increased because of the pandemic, but rigorous prospective studies have yet to be conducted. The Early Steps Multisite Study of diverse lower income families, recruited from three geographic areas across the country (Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Oregon), presents unique research opportunities during this pandemic. There is a wealth of data available on the Early Steps participants, including the history of substance use, social and health service utilization, and mental health of both primary caregiving adults (current Mage = 43.8; SD = 7.4) and youth (current Mage = 18.6; SD = 0.5). As the study design also included a randomized control trial of the Family Check-Up intervention, we can also test the potential protective effects of the intervention on COVID-19 related outcomes. We plan to administer two COVID-19 related surveys to Early Steps participants, at both 6 months post-COVID-19 (September of 2020) and at 12 months post-COVID-19 (March of 2021). Our first aim is to examine the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on substance use, mental health, and service utilization (i.e., addiction treatment, access to health care) in both caregiving adults and their young adult children. We plan to test the extent to which a history of mental health problems among parents and young adults moderates the effects of COVID-19 on their substance use, and to test the extent to which service utilization at the 6-month assessment mediates the effects of COVID-19 on substance use at the 12-month assessment in adult caregivers and young adult children. We will examine differences by geographic location, race/ethnicity, biological sex, and income. We hypothesize that those with more service utilization at 6 months post-COVID- 19 will have less substance use at 12 months post-COVID-19. Our second aim is to examine the potential buffering effects of the Family Check-Up on substance use and mental health outcomes 6 and 12 months following the onset of COVID-19, with those families randomly assigned to the intervention expected to show lower levels of substance use, mental health problems, and greater service utilization. We also will examine moderators of potential FCU protective effects, including child, family, and community risk factors. These data can begin to illuminate the wide-ranging impact of COVID-19 on vulnerable populations.

抽象的共同的19日大流行影响了世界各地人民的生活和福祉。在曼联各州，不同的州已采取了不同的措施来限制COVID-19的传播，但是A的影响经济放缓，社会隔离的增加以及典型可用的支持服务的丧失已有不成比例的种族和少数民族以及处于不利的社会经济的人组。烟草，大麻，酒精，阿片类药物和非法吸毒者可能很容易受到covid-19的攻击这些物质对正在治疗或正在治疗的人或由于精神健康问题的增加，从滥用药物中恢复可能会有复发的风险获得治疗和支持的其他障碍。有迹象表明使用物质增加了由于大流行但严格的前瞻性研究尚未进行。早期步骤多站点从全国三个地理区域招募的各种低收入家庭的研究（宾夕法尼亚州，弗吉尼亚州和俄勒冈州）在这个大流行期间提供了独特的研究机会。有一个关于早期步骤参与者的大量数据，包括药物使用的历史，社会和卫生服务利用和两位初级护理人员的心理健康（当前法师= 43.8; SD = 7.4）和青年（当前法师= 18.6; SD = 0.5）。由于研究设计还包括一项随机对照试验家庭检查干预措施，我们还可以测试干预对Covid-19的潜在保护作用相关结果。我们计划在早期的参与者中管理两项相关调查，在6个参与者中 19日之后的月份（2020年9月）和19日后12个月（2021年3月）。我们的第一个目标是研究Covid-19-19大流行对物质使用，心理健康和服务利用的影响（即，成瘾治疗，获得医疗保健）在照料成年人及其年轻子女中。我们计划测试父母和年轻人心理健康问题的历史的程度调节Covid-19对其物质使用的影响，并测试服务利用率的程度为期6个月的评估介导了Covid-19对12个月评估中的物质使用的影响成人护理人员和年轻儿童。我们将根据地理位置，种族/民族的地理位置检查差异，生物性别和收入。我们假设那些在Covid后6个月时使用更多服务利用的人 19年后12个月，19年将较少使用物质。我们的第二个目标是检查潜力家庭检查对物质使用和心理健康结果的缓冲效果6和12个月在Covid-19的开始之后，这些家庭随机分配给了预期显示的干预措施较低的物质使用，心理健康问题和更大的服务利用。我们还将检查潜在的FCU保护作用的主持人，包括儿童，家庭和社区风险因素。这些数据可以开始阐明Covid-19对脆弱人群的广泛影响。
