项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The importance and role of alcohol in the etiology of child maltreatment is still not well understood. Findings of studies on the effect of parental alcoholism on child maltreatment are mixed and inconclusive. Moreover, researchers have not examined through what mechanism(s) physical availability of alcohol may affect child maltreatment. By investigating how the physical availability of alcohol affects child maltreatment, findings of the proposed study will provide new information on the importance and role of alcohol in the etiology of child maltreatment that moves away from solely focusing on individual behaviors to environmental conditions that may place children at elevated risk for physical abuse and neglect. This proposed study will go beyond previous research by (1) investigating how level of alcohol use, not just alcohol abuse or alcoholism, is related to committing child physical abuse and neglect; (2) testing a conceptual model that examines how alcohol use and the physical availability of alcohol may be two pathways that lead to committing child physical abuse and/or neglect; and (3) examining these relationships in a nationally representative probability sample of young adult parents. Thus, this study reduces the biases introduced when specialized populations such as parents already in the child welfare system and alcoholic parents are used. This study will use interview data from young adult parents (n~ 2,427) who participated in the third wave of National Longitudinal Survey of Adolescent Health (Add Health) in 2002. Findings from this study will improve our understanding of the importance and role of alcohol in the etiology of child maltreatment, and will provide a theoretical and empirical basis for designing effective prevention programs to reduce child maltreatment and the individual and societal costs related to maltreatment. This study also will yield a dataset with contextual factors from the 2000 census and alcohol outlet density variables that can be analyzed with Add Health interview data by other investigators.

描述（由申请人提供）：酒精在儿童虐待的病因中的重要性和作用仍然不太了解。关于父母酒精中毒对儿童虐待的影响的研究结果是混合且尚无定论。此外，研究人员尚未通过饮酒的身体可用性可能影响儿童虐待来检查。通过调查酒精的身体可用性如何影响儿童虐待，拟议的研究的发现将提供有关酒精在儿童虐待儿童病因中的重要性和作用的新信息，这些信息从仅关注个体行为转向可能使儿童置于身体虐待和忽视的风险中的环境状况，这些信息从仅专注于个人行为。这项拟议的研究将通过（1）调查饮酒水平（不仅是酗酒或酒精中毒）与犯下儿童身体虐待和忽视有关的水平如何超越先前的研究；（2）测试一个概念模型，该模型检查酒精的使用和饮酒的物理利用方式可能是导致儿童身体虐待和/或忽视的两种途径；（3）在年轻父母的全国代表性概率样本中检查这些关系。因此，这项研究减少了当使用儿童福利系统和酗酒父母等专业人群（例如父母）时所引入的偏见。 This study will use interview data from young adult parents (n~ 2,427) who participated in the third wave of National Longitudinal Survey of Adolescent Health (Add Health) in 2002. Findings from this study will improve our understanding of the importance and role of alcohol in the etiology of child maltreatment, and will provide a theoretical and empirical basis for designing effective prevention programs to reduce child maltreatment and the individual and societal costs related to maltreatment.这项研究还将产生一个数据集，该数据集具有来自2000个人口普查和酒精出口密度变量的上下文因素，可以通过其他研究人员添加健康访谈数据来分析，这些数据集可以分析。
