DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose a Center to Prevent Alcohol Related Problems Among Young People. Alcohol is associated with the leading cause of death in this age group, unintentional and intentional injuries. Further, people who begin drinking at an earlier age are more likely to experience alcohol dependence and other alcohol related health problems during both adolescence and adulthood. The Center has: research, training, and education objectives. Three research projects will be conducted 1) To explore whether persons who begin drinking younger ages are more likely as adults to experience a variety of alcohol related health problems even after analytically controlling for alcohol dependence and heavy drinking, we will analyze data from the National Longitudinal Alcohol Epidemiology Study, the National Epidemiological Survey of Alcohol Related Conditions, and the College of Alcohol Survey. We will also conduct a new national survey N=3000 collecting information not in those surveys to explore reasons why persons who start drinking at younger ages are more likely to develop alcohol dependence and other alcohol related problems. 2) We will conduct a randomized trial to determine whether residual effects of alcohol impair next day academic performance of college students. 3) We will undertake a randomized trial to determine whether a brief motivational interview and active referral reduces drinking, injury, and alcohol related problems among the Boston Medical Center Pediatric Emergency Department patients. We initially propose two pilot projects 1) a qualitative study to explore whether the age of drinking onset relates to alcohol dependence in an Italian sample and 2) an experimental comparison of web based vs. mail screening for alcohol abuse and dependence in a college population. New pilot projects will be subsequently solicited. Training objectives are to expand and improve alcohol-related research at Boston University by: fostering and collaboration between researchers; hosting seminars and workshops; and facilitating opportunities for doctoral students. Educational objectives are to: (1) facilitate the development of campus/community partnerships in Massachusetts that involve multiple segments of city government and college communities including students to identify and implement interventions to reduce college alcohol related problems. Dissemination of the Center's published findings to both, researcher and practitioner audiences will be facilitated by the Center's strong relationship with Mothers Against Drunk Driving, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation-funded Join Together program, and the U.S. Department of Education's Higher Education Center for Alcohol and Other Drug Prevention.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们提出一个中心，以防止年轻人中与酒精有关的问题。酒精与该年龄段的死亡原因，无意和故意伤害有关。此外，在青春期和成年期间，在早期开始喝酒的人更有可能经历酒精依赖和其他与酒精有关的健康问题。该中心有：研究，培训和教育目标。将进行三个研究项目1）探索年轻年龄段的人是否更有可能经历与酒精有关的健康问题，即使在分析控制酒精依赖和大量饮酒后，我们还将分析国家纵向酒精流行病学研究，国家与酒精相关的国家流行病学调查以及酒精研究学院的数据。我们还将进行一项新的全国调查n = 3000个收集信息，而不是在那些调查中探讨了为什么年轻时开始喝酒的人更有可能发展酒精依赖和其他与酒精有关的问题。 2）我们将进行一项随机试验，以确定酒精对大学生的学习成绩是否损害了饮酒的残余影响。 3）我们将进行一项随机试验，以确定波士顿医疗中心小儿急诊科患者的饮酒，伤害和与酒精有关的问题是否减少了饮酒，伤害和与酒精有关的问题。我们最初提出了两个试点项目1）一项定性研究，旨在探讨饮酒的年龄是否与意大利样本中的酒精依赖相关，以及2）对基于Web的邮件与邮件筛查的实验比较，以筛选酗酒和在大学人群中的依赖。随后将征求新的试点项目。培训目标是扩大和改善波士顿大学与酒精相关的研究，作者：研究人员之间的促进与协作；举办研讨会和讲习班；并促进博士生的机会。教育目标是：（1）促进马萨诸塞州校园/社区合作伙伴关系的发展，这些校园/社区合作伙伴关系涉及市政府和大学社区的多个领域，包括学生，以识别和实施减少大学酒精与大学酒精有关的问题的干预措施。该中心向研究人员和从业人员发表的发现，该中心与母亲的牢固关系，反对酒后驾车，罗伯特·伍德·约翰逊基金会（Robert Wood Johnson Foundation）资助的加入计划以及美国教育部的高等教育中心的酒精和其他药物预防中心，将促进研究人员和从业者的发表结果。
