The proposed project investigates the patterns and social psychological determinants of substance use among adolescent children of alcoholics (COAs). The high prevalence of COAs among individuals treated for chemical dependency suggests that effective primary prevention efforts aimed at this group could produce substantial public health benefits. There are strong theoretical reasons to believe that adolescent COAs are at high- risk for alcohol and substance use. However, because most research has studied general adolescent population, little is known about the nature, extent, and time course of this risk. Moreover, little is known about the processes that underlie substance use and abuse in this population. The proposed study will follow a sample of 250 COA and 200 non-COA adolescents and their families over a three-year period. The study will identify potentially modifiable risk and protective factors that influence substance use among COA and non-COA adolescents, and will determine whether these factors act in unique ways among COAs. Finally, the study will evaluate the utility of negative affect regulation models of substance use against competing theoretical alternatives. The results of this project will have important implications for both the timing and the content of substance use prevention programs aimed at high-risk adolescents.

拟议的项目调查了模式和社会 青少年中物质使用的心理决定因素 酗酒者（COA）。 COAS的高流行率 在接受化学依赖治疗的个体中，表明 针对该小组的有效的主要预防努力可以 产生可观的公共卫生益处。 有强大的 理论上认为青春期的COA处于高度 饮酒和使用物质的风险。 但是，因为大多数 研究研究了一般的青少年人口，鲜为人知 关于这种风险的性质，程度和时间过程。 而且， 关于使用物质使用的过程和 在这个人群中虐待。 拟议的研究将遵循样本 250个COA和200名非COA青少年及其家人 三年。 这项研究将可能确定 改变影响物质的风险和保护因素 在COA和非COA青少年中使用，并将确定 这些因素是否在COA中以独特的方式起作用。 最后， 该研究将评估负面影响调节的效用 抗竞争理论的物质使用模型 替代方案。 该项目的结果将具有重要的 对物质使用的时间和内容的影响 针对高风险青少年的预防计划。
