DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant):0 Co-occurring patterns of marijuana & other illicit drug use with alcohol & tobacco are well established. Despite this & despite evidence that alcohol & tobacco may serve as gateway drugs for illicit substance use little is known about the impacts of prevention programs across substances. Specifically, we do not know whether there are declines in drug use among young people exposed to successful alcohol abuse prevention programs or alternatively whether young people affected by such programs turn toward drugs when alcohol becomes harder to obtain & less acceptable. This study tests whether patterns of marijuana & other drug use decline among college youth exposed to a successful environmental alcohol abuse prevention program that has reduced consumption & harm. Specific aims are to: 1) Describe trends in marijuana, illicit drug use, & acquisition or uptake of marijuana use among students from 10 colleges that participated in a community wide 4 year environmental alcohol abuse prevention program; 2) Compare trends in marijuana & other illicit drug use among students at 10 intervention with 32 comparison colleges; 3) Evaluate whether colleges whose students report significant declines in drug use over time are those with significant declines in alcohol use & harms; 4) Assess whether declines in illicit drug use correspond to exposure to environmental versus individually oriented prevention strategies implemented for alcohol abuse & harms. Repeated measure panel data are drawn from the Harvard College Alcohol Study and Harvard School of Public Health A Matter of Degree program evaluation which conducts intensive behavioral surveillance studies at 10 CAS colleges participating in the national AMOD demonstration & collects observational data about their alcohol-related prevention efforts. The longitudinal multi-site design is a significant advance over single institution and/or cross-sectional studies, & promises to expand our understanding about causal processes & protective mechanisms affecting drug use among college youth to improve prevention in this setting.

描述（由申请人提供）：0 大麻和其他非法药物与酒精和烟草的同时使用模式已经明确。 尽管如此，尽管有证据表明酒精和烟草可能成为非法药物使用的门户药物，但人们对跨药物预防计划的影响知之甚少。具体来说，我们不知道接受成功的酒精滥用预防计划的年轻人的吸毒率是否有所下降，或者当酒精变得更难获得和更难以接受时，受此类计划影响的年轻人是否会转向吸毒。这项研究测试了在接受了成功的环境酒精滥用预防计划的大学生中，大麻和其他药物的使用模式是否有所下降，该计划减少了消费和伤害。具体目标是： 1) 描述参加社区范围 4 年环境酒精滥用预防计划的 10 所大学学生的大麻、非法药物使用以及获取或吸食大麻的趋势； 2) 比较 32 所比较大学的 10 项干预措施中学生的大麻和其他非法药物使用趋势； 3) 评估学生报告毒品使用随时间显着下降的大学是否是酒精使用和危害显着下降的大学； 4) 评估非法药物使用的下降是否与环境暴露相对应，与针对酒精滥用和伤害实施的以个人为导向的预防策略相对应。重复测量小组数据取自哈佛大学酒精研究和哈佛大学公共卫生学院学位项目评估，该评估在参加国家 AMOD 示范的 10 所 CAS 学院进行了密集的行为监测研究，并收集了有关其酒精相关预防的观察数据努力。纵向多中心设计是相对于单一机构和/或横断面研究的重大进步，并有望扩大我们对影响大学生青少年吸毒的因果过程和保护机制的理解，以改善这种情况下的预防。
