(Revised) DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose to extend a currently funded (K01) cross-sectional study of drinking. Specifically, we will examine changes over time in patterns of alcohol use and in risk and protective factors for heavy drinking and drinking-related problems among a diverse sample of women who are assumed to be at heightened risk for alcohol-related problems. However, very few studies have addressed risk and protective factors associated with heavy drinking or drinking-related problems among this group of women; few have included appropriate comparison groups; and no longitudinal studies of large samples have been conducted. Further, past studies have included samples that are primarily white, well educated, middle class, and between 25 and 40 years old. Thus, the specific aims of the study are to: 1) Describe and compare patterns of drinking (drinking levels, heavy episodic drinking, intoxication) and drinking-related problems (adverse drinking consequences, dependence symptoms) in women across several age and racial/ethnic groups; 2) Examine changes in drinking patterns, and predictors of change, over 3 years (measured at baseline [in the current study] and 3 years later); and 3) Develop models of risk and protective factors associated with heavy drinking and drinking related problems and test the fit of these models across several age and racial/ethnic minority groups. The proposed research will use the National Study of Health and Life Experiences of Women (NSHLEW) interview protocol and measures. Data will be collected using computer-assisted, face-to-face interviews with the 450 recruited for the current study from Chicago and surrounding suburbs. These women, currently 18 years old or older, will be reinterviewed 3 years from their baseline interviews. Urban and suburban women from the NSHLEW will be used for comparison. A variety of statistical techniques, including structural equation modeling, will be used to identify the most important risk and protective factors in predicting drinking patterns and problems. Understanding factors that increase or buffer risk will permit the development of more culturally relevant prevention and intervention strategies. Greater understanding of alcohol use will also provide important theoretical and practical information about the influence of gender and adherence (or nonadherence) to norms on women's use of alcohol.

（修改） 描述（由申请人提供）：我们建议扩展目前资助的 (K01) 饮酒横断面研究。具体来说，我们将研究不同样本的女性中酒精使用模式以及酗酒和饮酒相关问题的风险和保护因素随时间的变化，这些女性被认为患有酒精相关问题的风险较高。然而，很少有研究探讨与这组女性中酗酒或饮酒相关问题相关的风险和保护因素；很少有纳入适当的比较组；并且没有进行大样本的纵向研究。此外，过去的研究纳入的样本主要是白人、受过良好教育的中产阶级、年龄在 25 岁至 40 岁之间。因此，本研究的具体目的是： 1) 描述和比较不同年龄和种族/群体的女性饮酒模式（饮酒水平、间歇性饮酒、中毒）和饮酒相关问题（不良饮酒后果、依赖性症状）。族裔群体； 2) 检查 3 年内饮酒模式的变化以及变化的预测因素（在[当前研究中]的基线和 3 年后进行测量）； 3) 开发与酗酒和饮酒相关问题相关的风险和保护因素模型，并测试这些模型在多个年龄和种族/少数民族群体中的适用性。拟议的研究将使用国家妇女健康和生活经历研究 (NSHLEW) 访谈方案和措施。数据将通过计算机辅助、面对面访谈的方式收集，该访谈来自芝加哥及周边郊区，为本次研究招募了 450 名参与者。这些目前年满 18 岁或以上的女性将在基线访谈 3 年后接受重新访谈。来自 NSHLEW 的城市和郊区女性将用于比较。包括结构方程模型在内的各种统计技术将用于确定预测饮酒模式和问题时最重要的风险和保护因素。 了解增加或缓冲风险的因素将有助于制定更具文化相关性的预防和干预策略。 对饮酒的更多了解还将提供有关性别影响和遵守（或不遵守）女性饮酒规范的重要理论和实践信息。
