DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A series of cohort-sequential panel studies is proposed to examine changes in substance use and related factors across the life course and across historical period, using large nationally representative samples of high school graduates, from the end of high school through age 45. The study will examine social and environmental factors and processes, including life-course transitions that may explain change. The target samples are drawn randomly from graduating classes of high school senior participants from the Monitoring the Future (MTF) surveys (2400 respondents per cohort). Highly cost-efficient mailed surveys will be administered biennially one to twelve years past high school (to age 30), and once every five years thereafter (to age 45). Research objectives include: (1) monitoring substance use in important segments of the general population, including, in particular, American college students; (2) distinguishing among three different types of change taking place -- period, age, and cohort; and, (3) studying the causes, consequences, and developmental patterns associated with these different types of change. Each type has different sets of determinants and different timing of action, and all three types have been found to occur for most drugs. Factors that may explain historical trends and cohort differences will also be monitored. Additional objectives include documenting the natural history of drug use and related attitudes through middle adulthood, determining what transitions in social roles and social environments contribute to drug use and related attitudes, and determining what features of those roles and environments are most influential. The study will examine the importance of other hypothesized psychological, behavioral, and social determinants of drug use (including attitudes and beliefs about drugs, peer norms, counter-advertising, and role-modeling), as well as a range of potential consequences of drug use (including physical health, psychological well-being, status attainment, and role performance). The investigators will continue to facilitate use of MTF data by others for a variety of research purposes. Study results will have major implications for understanding and preventing drug use and abuse from adolescence through middle adulthood.

描述（由申请人提供）：提出了一系列队列序列的小组研究，以检查整个生命过程和整个历史时期的物质使用及相关因素的变化，从高中终止到45岁的高中终止，使用大量的全国代表性的高中毕业生样本。该研究将检查社会和环境因素和环境因素和环境因素和过程，包括生命过程，包括生命过程，这些过渡可能会解释变化。目标样本是从监测未来（MTF）调查的高中高中参与者的毕业班中随机得出的（每群群体2400名受访者）。高成本效率的邮寄调查将在高中毕业（至30岁）和此后每五年（45岁）的每两年一次到十二年（至30岁）。研究目标包括：（1）监测一般人群的重要部分中的物质使用，包括美国大学生； （2）区分发生的三种不同类型的变化 - 时期，年龄和队列； （3）研究与这些不同类型的变化相关的原因，后果和发展模式。每种类型都有不同的决定因素和不同的作用时间，并且发现大多数药物都会发现所有三种类型。可能解释历史趋势和队列差异的因素也将受到监控。其他目标包括记录毒品使用的自然历史以及成年中期的相关态度，确定社会角色和社会环境中哪些过渡有助于毒品使用和相关态度，并确定这些角色和环境的特征最有影响力。该研究将研究其他假设的心理，行为和社会决定因素的重要性（包括有关药物，同伴规范，反广告和角色模型的态度和信念），以及药物使用的一系列潜在后果（包括身体健康，心理健康，心理健康，地位，表现和角色绩效）。研究人员将继续促进其他人用于各种研究目的的MTF数据。研究结果将对从青春期到成年中期的吸毒和滥用毒品的使用和滥用具有重大影响。
