DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This study will test a comprehensive model of antecedents of work-family conflict (WFC) and processes whereby WFC is linked to alcohol use/misuse over time in employed people who are also unpaid caregivers of children, dependent adults, or frail elderly. Goals are to examine: 1) Antecedents of WFC in work (e.g., job stressors including workplace harassment, family-friendly policies), family/non-work (e.g., caregiver burden, life events, non-work harassment), and individual (i.e., negative affectivity) domains, and how these variables are related to directionality (i.e., work-to-family, family-to-work) and type (i.e., time-based, strain-based) of WFC; 2) The extent to which effects of WFC on individual (i.e., drinking patterns/problems, substance use), family (i.e., family conflict), and work (i.e., job satisfaction, turnover intent) outcomes are mediated by distress (i.e., depression, anxiety, burnout); 3) Risk factors in individual (i.e., alcohol expectancies, family history of alcoholism), family (e.g., low spouse/partner support), and workplace (i.e., low supervisor/coworker support, low usability of workplace policies) domains that may strengthen WFC-drinking relationships; and 4) To test the gender and racial/ethnic equivalence of the model. This study will address deficiencies of existing research by 1) using an inclusive definition of caregiver, 2) measuring WFC in greater detail, 3) testing a wide variety of potential moderators of WFC-drinking relationships, and 4) studying a diverse sample. A combination of random digit dial telephone screening (baseline) and mail survey methodology (baseline, 12 mo, 24 mo) will be used to conduct the 3-wave panel study (N=1,300) in a representative sample drawn from a diverse urban community. Data will be analyzed using regression and structural equation modeling. Long term objectives are to 1) identify factors in family and work environments that can lead to interventions to decrease WFC and alcohol problems, 2) impact treatment of WFC-associated alcohol problems, and 3) add to the body of knowledge on risk factors for alcohol abuse.

描述（由申请人提供）：本研究将测试工作与家庭冲突 (WFC) 前因的综合模型，以及工作与家庭冲突 (WFC) 的前因及过程，其中 WFC 与就业人员长期饮酒/滥用酒精有关，这些人同时也是儿童、受抚养成人的无薪照顾者，或体弱多病的老人。目标是检查： 1) 工作中 WFC 的前因（例如，工作压力源，包括工作场所骚扰、家庭友好型政策）、家庭/非工作（例如，照顾者负担、生活事件、非工作骚扰）和个人（即负面情感）领域，以及这些变量如何与方向性（即工作到家庭、家庭到工作）和类型相关（即基于时间、基于应变的）WFC； 2) WFC 对个人（即饮酒模式/问题、物质使用）、家庭（即家庭冲突）和工作（即工作满意度、离职意向）结果的影响程度是由痛苦（即，抑郁、焦虑、倦怠）； 3) 个人（即酒精预期、酗酒家族史）、家庭（例如，配偶/伴侣支持度低）和工作场所（即主管/同事支持度低、工作场所政策可用性低）领域的风险因素可能会加强WFC——饮酒关系； 4) 测试模型的性别和种族/民族等价性。本研究将通过以下方式解决现有研究的缺陷：1）使用照顾者的包容性定义，2）更详细地测量 WFC，3）测试 WFC 与饮酒关系的各种潜在调节因素，4）研究不同的样本。将结合随机数字拨号电话筛选（基线）和邮件调查方法（基线、12 个月、24 个月），对来自多元化城市社区的代表性样本进行 3 波小组研究 (N=1,300) 。将使用回归和结构方程模型来分析数据。长期目标是 1) 确定家庭和工作环境中可采取干预措施减少 WFC 和酒精问题的因素，2) 影响与 WFC 相关的酒精问题的治疗，以及 3) 增加有关以下危险因素的知识体系：酗酒。
