DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): During the past decade the prevalence of ecstasy use has increased in the U.S. and in other countries. particularly among adolescents and young adults. Potential determinants that predict future ecstasy use in adolescence are understudied. Specifically, there is a lack of longitudinal research designed to control temporal sequencing and estimate the extent to which factors predict increased risk of ecstasy use. To address these gaps, the proposed study aims to: 1) test if the prevalence and incidence of ecstasy use in adolescence vary in relation to demographic and geographic variables over time; 2) test whether previous deviant behaviors, previous high sensation-seeking scores and prior other drug use predict subsequent ecstasy use among adolescents; 3) test whether previous low levels of parent monitoring and high levels of peer ecstasy use predict subsequent ecstasy use among adolescents; 4) test for changes in attitudes and beliefs towards ecstasy use among adolescents and test whether exposure to an anti-drug media campaign might have influenced adolescents' attitudes towards ecstasy use. Longitudinal data from the National Survey of Parents and Youth (NSPY), an epidemiologic study representative of the adolescent U.S. population (9-18 yeas old) will be used to address these aims. After initial exploratory data analyses, we will analyze data through cross-sectional and longitudinal logistic regression models to address each of the specific aims. First, we will estimate associations of prevalence and incidence of ecstasy use with demographics (age, gender, race/ethnicity), then, we will use alternating logistic regression to test whether there is evidence of clustering of adolescent ecstasy use by region of the country. Using longitudinal regression marginal models, we will test whether previous deviant behaviors, high sensation-seeking scores and high levels of prior other drug use predict subsequent ecstasy use among adolescents, as well as examine if lower levels of parent monitoring and high levels of peer ecstasy use predict subsequent ecstasy use among adolescents. Logistic regression models will test for changes in attitudes and beliefs towards ecstasy use among adolescents and to test whether exposure to an anti-drug media campaign influenced adolescents' attitudes towards ecstasy use. Finally, we believe that our study will bring public health contributions to better understand potential determinants of ecstasy use.

描述（由申请人提供）：在过去的十年中，摇头丸使用率在美国和其他国家有所增加。特别是在青少年和年轻人中。预测青春期未来狂喜使用的潜在决定因素被研究了。具体而言，缺乏旨在控制时间测序的纵向研究并估计因素预测摇头丸使用风险增加的程度。为了解决这些差距，拟议的研究旨在：1）测试青春期摇头丸使用的患病率和发生率是否随着时间的时间人口统计和地理变量而有所不同； 2）测试以前的偏差行为，以前的高感觉得分和先前的其他药物使用是否可以预测青少年随后的摇头丸使用； 3）测试以前的低水平的父母监测和高水平的同伴摇头丸使用是否可以预测青少年的随后摇头丸使用； 4）测试青少年对狂喜使用的态度和信念的变化，并测试暴露于反毒品媒体运动是否可能影响青少年对狂喜使用的态度。全国对父母和青少年调查（NSPY）的纵向数据，这是一项代表美国青少年人口的代表（9-18岁），以解决这些目标。经过最初的探索性数据分析，我们将通过横截面和纵向逻辑回归模型分析数据，以解决每个特定目的。首先，我们将估计摇头丸使用的流行和发生率与人口统计学（年龄，性别，种族/种族）的关联，然后，我们将使用交替的逻辑回归来测试该地区地区是否有散布青少年狂喜使用的证据。使用纵向回归边际模型，我们将测试以前的偏差行为，高感觉寻求分数和高水平的其他药物使用是否可以预测青少年的后续摇头丸使用，并检查父母监测的较低水平和高水平的同伴狂热者使用是否可以预测青少年之间的狂喜。逻辑回归模型将测试青少年对摇头丸使用的态度和信念的变化，并测试暴露于反毒品媒体运动是否影响青少年对狂喜使用的态度。最后，我们认为我们的研究将带来公共卫生的贡献，以更好地了解摇头丸使用的潜在决定因素。
