DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overarching practical purpose of the proposed research is to develop evaluation tools that can be used to provide an epidemiological analysis of environment-behavior and person-behavior relationships related to moderate and excessive alcohol consumption among individuals attending college football tailgate parties. Specific aims of the proposed research include: 1) the development and refinement of field research methodologies and measures for a large-scale epidemiological study of alcohol consumption at college football tailgate parties; 2) an initial assessment of environmental factors related to excessive alcohol consumption at tailgate parties; 3) the identification of specific demographic and personal factors related to various levels of alcohol consumption and intoxication at tailgate parties; 4) determination of estimates of statistical power for a future test of our conceptual model of alcohol consumption and related negative outcomes, especially risk for driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI), that result from tailgate partying at college football games; and 5) laying the groundwork for a comprehensive and multi-university study of tailgating at college football games that will inform the development, implementation and evaluation of university-based interventions to reduce excessive alcohol consumption at sporting events. Variables that will be assessed in the proposed research include both environmental factors (e.g., availability of food and nonalcoholic beverages, national ranking, win/lose record of teams, conference affiliation, rivalry status, outcome of game) and person factors (e.g., gender, drinking history, relationship with the university, and support for one of the competing teams). Exploratory analyses will be used to evaluate environmental and epidemiological determinants of alcohol consumption at tailgate parties, and provide direction regarding environmental and personal factors that deserve further epidemiological study and could be the target of university policies and/or prevention interventions to reduce alcohol consumption at tailgate parties.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议研究的总体实际目的是开发评估工具，这些工具可用于对与参加大学橄榄球后门派对的个人中的环境 - 行为和人行为的关系进行流行病学分析。拟议研究的具体目的包括：1）在大学橄榄球后挡板派对上对饮酒的大规模流行病学研究的实地研究方法和措施的发展和完善； 2）对与后挡板各方过度饮酒有关的环境因素的初步评估； 3）鉴定与后挡板各方的各种饮酒和中毒有关的特定人口统计和个人因素； 4）确定统计能力的估计值，以来对我们的饮酒概念模型和相关的负面结果的概念模型，尤其是在酒精影响下驾驶的风险（DUI）的风险，这是由于在大学橄榄球比赛中进行后挡板派对而导致的； 5）为在大学橄榄球比赛中进行全面和多元大学的研究奠定了基础，这将为大学橄榄球运动的发展，实施和评估提供依据，以减少体育赛事中过度饮酒。 在拟议的研究中将评估的变量包括环境因素（例如，食品和非酒精饮料的可用性，国家排名，胜利/失去团队的记录，会议隶属关系，竞争状况，游戏结果）和人因素（例如，性别，与性别，饮酒历史，与大学的关系以及对竞争团队的关系）。探索性分析将用于评估后挡板各方酒精消费量的环境和流行病学决定因素，并提供有关应有的环境和个人因素的指示，这些方向应进一步流行病学研究，并可能是大学政策和/或预防干预措施的目标，以减少后挡板政党的酒精消耗。
