DESCRIPTION: Responsible decision-making is a cornerstone of drug abuse prevention programs but most attention has been focused on responsibility for one's own behavior. The proposed project conceives of health as a public issue for which there is a shared responsibility. The overall goals are a) to understand the phenomena of peer monitoring and intervention and b) identify those factors that predispose young people to develop a sense of shared responsibility, appreciate the public dimensions of risk behaviors, and dissuade peers from engaging in behaviors that compromise health such as smoking or alcohol abuse. To do this we propose a comparative, longitudinal, developmental study in two contrasting national contexts (the United States and Hungary). We will collect cross-sectional data from approximately 6,000 5th -12th graders and their teachers during the first year of the study. In addition, we propose a (3-year) panel study of approximately 2,000 early, middle, and late adolescents, their parents, and teachers as the adolescents make transitions to new school settings. The proposed study is designed to: (1) test the effects of family practices and classroom climates on the development of young people's attitudes toward social responsibility and their conception of health risks; (2) test whether higher levels of social responsibility and awareness of the public dimensions of risk increase the likelihood of intervening with peers; (3) test whether hypothesized developmental patterns exist in young people's commitment to the individual's right to make health risk decisions and their willingness to intervene with friends; and (4) to test whether differences in social environments are enough to explain differences in the willingness to intervene in friends behavior in two different cultures. The study will be conducted in 40 schools across Pennsylvania and 30 in the Republic of Hungary. Student and teacher surveys will be conducted in schools, while parents will be asked to respond by mail. The study will consist of a complex design that includes cross-sectional, longitudinal and comparative cross-national analyses using a number of analytic techniques including Hierarchical Linear Modeling to assess the effects of school climates on individual behavior and Structural Equation Modeling to test longitudinal hypotheses. Planned Missing Data design will be used to reduce the effects of study attrition.

描述：负责任的决策是药物滥用的基石 预防计划，但大多数关注一直集中在责任 自己的行为。拟议的项目将健康视为公共问题 对此有共同的责任。总体目标是a） 了解同伴监测和干预的现象，b）确定 那些使年轻人易于发展共同感的因素 责任，欣赏风险行为的公共维度，以及 劝阻同龄人从事损害健康的行为，例如 吸烟或酗酒。为此，我们提出了一个比较，纵向， 在两种对比的国家背景下的发展研究（美国和 匈牙利）。我们将从大约6,000个第五次收集横截面数据 在研究的第一年中，-12年级学生及其老师。在 此外，我们提出了一项（3年）的小组研究，大约有2,000个 中后期的青少年，他们的父母和老师为青少年 过渡到新的学校环境。拟议的研究旨在：（1） 测试家庭实践和教室气候对发展的影响 年轻人对社会责任及其观念的态度 健康风险； （2）测试更高水平的社会责任和 对公众对风险的意识的意识增加了 干预同行； （3）测试假设的发展模式 存在于年轻人对个人使健康权利的承​​诺中存在 风险决策及其愿意与朋友进行干预； （4）测试 社交环境中的差异是否足以解释 愿意干预两种不同文化的朋友行为。这 研究将在宾夕法尼亚州的40所学校和30所学校进行。 匈牙利共和国。学生和老师的调查将在学校进行 虽然将要求父母通过邮件回复。该研究将包括 复杂的设计，包括横截面，纵向和比较 使用多种分析技术在内的跨国分析 分层线性建模以评估学校气候的影响 个体行为和结构方程模型，以测试纵向 假设。计划丢失的数据设计将用于减少 研究损耗。
