DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Epidemiological research supports that African American adolescents have lower rates of alcohol use compared to White adolescents (Lambert, Brown, Phillips, lalongo, 2004; Belgrave, Reed, Plybon, Corneille, 2004; Wallace, 1999). However, alcohol-related problems are more severe among African American adolescents than for other populations (Wallace et al, 1999; Lex, 1987). It is clear that alcohol use among urban African American adolescents is highly complex, however, it is not clear what factors contribute to alcohol use and how, or what outcomes are related to alcohol use among this population. The proposed research examines the etiology and outcomes of alcohol use among low-income, African American adolescents to better address these issues. Through assessment of alcohol use and alcohol-related problems within an African American adolescent population focusing on individual, interpersonal, and contextual factors this research will increase understanding of alcohol use and alcohol-related problems among African American adolescents in order to best approach prevention and intervention for this population.

描述（由申请人提供）：流行病学研究表明，与白人青少年相比，非洲裔美国青少年的饮酒率较低（Lambert、Brown、Phillips、lalongo，2004 年；Belgrave、Reed、Plybon、Corneille，2004 年；Wallace，1999 年）。然而，非洲裔美国青少年的酒精相关问题比其他人群更为严重（Wallace 等，1999；Lex，1987）。显然，城市非裔美国青少年的饮酒情况非常复杂，但是，尚不清楚哪些因素导致饮酒，以及与该人群中的饮酒有何关系，或与饮酒相关的结果是什么。拟议的研究调查了低收入非裔美国青少年饮酒的病因和后果，以更好地解决这些问题。通过评估非裔美国青少年中的酒精使用和酒精相关问题，重点关注个人、人际和背景因素，这项研究将增加对非裔美国青少年中酒精使用和酒精相关问题的了解，以便最好地进行预防和干预对于这个人群。
