项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by the applicant): This proposal requests five years of support to launch a study of 600 families and children of Mexican origin living in Sacramento, California. The research will address four important issues related to the early initiation of substance use. First the investigation will examine risk for and resilience to alcohol, tobacco, and other drug (ATOD) use in a critically important ethnic group in the U.S., children of Mexican origin. Mexican Americans living in California will become the most populous ethnic group in the state within the next several years, consistent with national trends for Latinos. Second, the proposed study will examine developmental processes leading to the initiation of substance use beginning in late childhood. A developmental approach is widely considered to be the best strategy for informing the creation of effective intervention programs that can prevent the initiation of ATOD use at an early age, when it is most likely to have severe long-term consequences. However, there are almost no developmental studies of ATOD use for children of Mexican origin. Third, the proposed research addresses the issue of family influences on the initiation of ATOD use, also considered crucial for early prevention. Finally, the investigation will employ state-of-the-art research methodologies for studying family influences on the development of ATOD use, an approach not previously used with children of Mexican origin. The study is framed within the context of a family stress model, which proposes that processes of acculturation, minority status, socioeconomic disadvantage, and neighborhood and school risks will affect parent-parent, parent-child, and sibling and peer relationships. These relationships, in turn, are expected to influence the initiation of substance use and related dimensions of child maladjustment. Also important, the model predicts that part of this syndrome of child maladjustment will include risky sexual behaviors, which are expected to combine with ATOD use to affect long-term risk for HIV/AIDs and other STDs. The model also proposes that cultural (respect, familism), personal (e.g., ethnic identity) and social (e.g., effective family problem solving) resources will diminish risk and generate resilience for children and families. Results of the study are expected to inform the development of more effective and culturally sensitive early prevention programs.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案要求提供五年的支持，以对居住在加利福尼亚州萨克拉曼多的600个家庭和儿童进行研究。该研究将解决与早期使用物质使用有关的四个重要问题。首先，调查将检查在美国，墨西哥起源的儿童中对酒精，烟草和其他药物（ATOD）使用的风险和韧性。居住在加利福尼亚的墨西哥裔美国人将在未来几年内成为该州人口最多的族裔，这与拉丁美洲人的国家趋势一致。其次，拟议的研究将研究从童年后期开始使用药物使用的发展过程。开发方法被普遍认为是告知创建有效干预计划的最佳策略，这些计划可以防止在最有可能产生严重的长期后果时在早期开始使用ATOD。但是，几乎没有关于墨西哥儿童使用ATOD使用的发展研究。第三，拟议的研究探讨了家庭对ATOD使用的影响的问题，这对于早期预防也是至关重要的。最后，该调查将采用最新的研究方法来研究家庭对ATOD使用的影响的影响，ATOD使用的发展是一种以前不与墨西哥儿童使用的方法。这项研究是在家庭压力模型的背景下进行的，该研究提出了适应，少数群体地位，社会经济劣势以及邻里和学校风险的过程将影响父母 - 父母，亲子和兄弟姐妹和同伴关系。反过来，这些关系有望影响儿童疾病不当的物质使用和相关维度的启动。同样重要的是，该模型还预测，这种儿童疾病综合症的一部分将包括风险的性行为，预计将与ATOD结合使用，以影响HIV/AIDS和其他性病的长期风险。该模型还提出，文化（尊重，家庭主义），个人（例如种族身份）和社会（例如，有效的家庭问题解决）资源将降低风险并为儿童和家庭带来韧性。该研究的结果预计将为开发更有效和对文化敏感的早期预防计划的发展。
