项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overarching practical purpose of the proposed research is to develop evaluation tools that can be used to provide an epidemiological analysis of environment-behavior and person-behavior relationships related to moderate and excessive alcohol consumption among individuals attending college football tailgate parties. Specific aims of the proposed research include: 1) the development and refinement of field research methodologies and measures for a large-scale epidemiological study of alcohol consumption at college football tailgate parties; 2) an initial assessment of environmental factors related to excessive alcohol consumption at tailgate parties; 3) the identification of specific demographic and personal factors related to various levels of alcohol consumption and intoxication at tailgate parties; 4) determination of estimates of statistical power for a future test of our conceptual model of alcohol consumption and related negative outcomes, especially risk for driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI), that result from tailgate partying at college football games; and 5) laying the groundwork for a comprehensive and multi-university study of tailgating at college football games that will inform the development, implementation and evaluation of university-based interventions to reduce excessive alcohol consumption at sporting events. Variables that will be assessed in the proposed research include both environmental factors (e.g., availability of food and nonalcoholic beverages, national ranking, win/lose record of teams, conference affiliation, rivalry status, outcome of game) and person factors (e.g., gender, drinking history, relationship with the university, and support for one of the competing teams). Exploratory analyses will be used to evaluate environmental and epidemiological determinants of alcohol consumption at tailgate parties, and provide direction regarding environmental and personal factors that deserve further epidemiological study and could be the target of university policies and/or prevention interventions to reduce alcohol consumption at tailgate parties.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议研究的总体实际目的是开发评估工具，可用于对参加大学橄榄球的个人中与适度和过度饮酒相关的环境行为和人行为关系进行流行病学分析车尾派对。拟议研究的具体目标包括：1）开发和完善现场研究方法和措施，以进行大学橄榄球车尾聚会中酒精消费的大规模流行病学研究； 2) 对与车尾聚会过量饮酒相关的环境因素进行初步评估； 3) 识别与车尾派对上不同程度的饮酒和中毒相关的特定人口和个人因素； 4) 确定统计功效的估计值，以便未来测试我们的酒精消费概念模型和相关负面结果，特别是大学橄榄球比赛中尾随派对导致的酒后驾驶 (DUI) 风险； 5) 为针对大学橄榄球比赛中的尾随行为进行全面、多所大学的研究奠定基础，这将为制定、实施和评估基于大学的干预措施提供信息，以减少体育赛事中的过度饮酒。拟议研究中将评估的变量包括环境因素（例如食物和非酒精饮料的供应、国家排名、球队的输赢记录、会议隶属关系、竞争状态、比赛结果）和个人因素（例如性别）、饮酒历史、与大学的关系以及对参赛球队之一的支持）。探索性分析将用于评估车尾聚会中酒精消费的环境和流行病学决定因素，并为值得进一步流行病学研究的环境和个人因素提供指导，并可能成为大学政策和/或预防干预措施的目标，以减少车尾聚会上的酒精消费派对。
