DESCRIPTION: (Applicant's Abstract) This project will provide detailed data on alcohol and drug use and associated risk factors among rural youth. Surveys will be administered to 7th-12th grade students in a national sample of rural schools stratified by region and rurality (county population and distance from a metropolitan center) with a comparison sample of non-rural schools. Schools that are African-American and Mexican-American will be oversampled. (Comparable data on drug use of American Indian youth, the other major rural ethnic minority group, will be available from another project.) The study will also obtain data on violence, victimization, high risk drug use behaviors, and delinquency and their relationship to drug use. The study will use structural equation modeling to examine how individual risk factors relate to drug use and delinquency of rural youth and determine whether there are differences in those relationships by age, gender, ethnicity, and rurality. Individual risk factors include socialization characteristics such as family relationships, parental monitoring, school adjustment and peer influences, personal characteristics such as excitement/risk seeking, anger, emotional distress, tolerance of deviance and social alienation, and cultural identification. The study will use hierarchical linear modeling to determine how differences in drug use rates across schools are related to different levels of personal and social risk factors among students in those schools and to community and school characteristics including school structure, school normlessness, poverty, ethnic heterogeneity, ascriptive inequality, community industrial structure, age structure, population mobility, and family disorganization, and whether these relationships differ by rurality.

描述：（申请人摘要） 该项目将提供有关酒精和药物使用的详细数据 农村青年的相关危险因素。 调查将进行至 全国农村学校样本中的 7 至 12 年级学生按以下因素分层 地区和农村（县人口和距大都市的距离 中心）与非农村学校的比较样本。 学校是 非裔美国人和墨西哥裔美国人将被过度抽样。 （可比数据 关于美洲印第安人青年（另一个主要农村少数民族）吸毒的问题 组，将从另一个项目中获得。）该研究还将获得 有关暴力、受害、高风险吸毒行为的数据，以及 犯罪及其与吸毒的关系。 该研究将使用 结构方程模型来检查个体风险因素之间的关系 调查农村青少年的吸毒和犯罪情况，并确定是否存在 这些关系因年龄、性别、种族和乡村而存在差异。 个人风险因素包括社会特征，例如家庭 人际关系、家长监督、学校适应和同伴影响， 个人特征，例如兴奋/冒险、愤怒、情绪化 痛苦、对偏差和社会疏远的容忍以及文化 鉴别。 该研究将使用分层线性模型 确定不同学校吸毒率的差异与 这些学生中存在不同程度的个人和社会风险因素 学校以及社区和学校的特征，包括学校 结构、学校不规范、贫困、种族异质性、归因 不平等、社区产业结构、年龄结构、人口 流动性和家庭解体，以及这些关系是否不同 通过乡村性。
