DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Hawaii is a unique state. Geographically, it is the most isolated group of islands in the world. Hawaii's special multicultural population numbers 1,211,537 and there is no ethnic majority, over 60% are Asian or Pacific Islanders. None of these population characteristics would matter much in the alcohol field if ethnicity was not associated with drinking patterns and alcohol related problems. However, the existing evidence indicates that ethnicity is related to drinking patterns as well as to the problems associated with drinking. The Department of Psychiatry at the University of Hawaii's John A. Burns School of Medicine is well equipped to address problems related to alcohol in multicultural populations through education and research. Additionally, the work proposed in this application builds on an existing, successful partnership with a research-intensive institution on the mainland, the University of Texas School of Public Health, and a recognized alcohol researcher, Dr. Raul Caetano. With these considerations, this application has the long-range goal of establishing and sustaining a program in alcohol research that focuses its efforts on the disproportionate rates of alcohol consumption in minority populations and on cultural perspectives necessary for accessing these groups, conducting research and developing programs, especially with regards to Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. Specifically, we plan to (1) conduct collaborative alcohol epidemiology research development through pilot projects and feasibility studies including (a) alcohol use, stress, and pregnancy complications in an ethnically diverse sample; (b) patterns of alcohol consumption and alcohol related problems among Filipino, Japanese, Hawaiian, and Caucasian adults in Hawaii; and (c) psychosociocultural risk and protective factors for alcohol use among youth in Hawaii's community and criminal justice system; (2) to formalize a plan for alcohol research training and mentoring of minority scientists at the University of Hawaii's John A. Burns School of Medicine in collaboration with the University of Texas, including curriculum, student selection process and other administrative matters; and (3) to develop a strategic plan to disseminate alcohol research results to health care professionals, and the minority community in collaboration with the University of Texas, as well as community and local groups in Hawaii.

描述（由申请人提供）：夏威夷是一个独特的州。从地理上来说，它是世界上最偏僻的岛屿群。夏威夷的特殊多元文化人口数量为 1,211,537 人，没有种族多数，超过 60% 是亚洲或太平洋岛民。如果种族与饮酒模式和酒精相关问题无关，那么这些人口特征在酒精领域都不会产生太大影响。然而，现有证据表明种族与饮酒模式以及与饮酒相关的问题有关。夏威夷大学约翰·A·伯恩斯医学院精神病学系有能力通过教育和研究解决多元文化人群中与酒精相关的问题。此外，本申请中提出的工作建立在与大陆研究密集型机构德克萨斯大学公共卫生学院和公认的酒精研究员 Raul Caetano 博士现有的成功合作伙伴关系的基础上。考虑到这些因素，该应用程序的长期目标是建立和维持酒精研究计划，重点关注少数群体中酒精消费比例过高的问题，以及接触这些群体、开展研究和开发计划所必需的文化视角，特别是对于亚裔美国人和太平洋岛民而言。具体来说，我们计划 (1) 通过试点项目和可行性研究开展酒精流行病学合作研究开发，包括 (a) 在不同种族的样本中饮酒、压力和妊娠并发症； (b) 夏威夷的菲律宾人、日本人、夏威夷人和白人成年人的饮酒模式和与酒精相关的问题； (c) 夏威夷社区和刑事司法系统青少年饮酒的心理社会文化风险和保护因素； (2) 与德克萨斯大学合作，正式制定夏威夷大学约翰·伯恩斯医学院的酒精研究培训和少数族裔科学家指导计划，包括课程、学生选拔过程和其他行政事务； (3) 制定一项战略计划，与德克萨斯大学以及夏威夷的社区和当地团体合作，向医疗保健专业人员和少数族裔社区传播酒精研究成果。
