DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The major objectives of the proposed Pathway to Independence Award are the acceleration and completion of Dr. Amelia Talley's training in alcohol-related research and the launching of her career as an independent scientist with a tenure-track assistant professor position. Dr. Talley is a psychologist and a postdoctoral fellow on an NIAAA T32 training grant at the University of Missouri (MU). The 2-year K99 Phase will complete Dr. Talley's training in the examination of patterns of alcohol use during emerging adulthood, with an emphasis on sexual minority populations and the associated motivational determinants of alcohol involvement. With supervision, Dr. Talley will: (c) complete adaptation of a measure of sexual self-concept conflict; (b) examine patterns and motivational determinates of alcohol use behaviors among women evidencing sexual self-concept conflict; (c) attend courses, workshops, and conferences related to alcohol use and misuse, qualitative and advanced quantitative data analysis, identity formation, and professional development issues; and (d) pilot all experimental procedures and materials. Dr. Talley will also dedicate a portion of her time to the dissemination of research findings through manuscript preparation and submission, consultation with experts on alcohol and sexual minority substance use, and preparation of materials for a national job search. The proposed mentor, Dr. Sher, and consultants, Drs. Wood, Steinley, Bartholow, Hughes & Diamond are experts in college drinking, longitudinal statistical modeling, multivariate statistical modeling, alcohol administration methodology, female sexual minority substance use, and female sexual identity development, respectively. MU is a world-class research institution, with the resources necessary to complete the aims of the K99. The 3-year ROO Phase will allow Dr. Talley to (a) conduct a series of experimental studies examining moderators of the relation between sexual self-concept conflict and alcohol consumption (b) establish her laboratory (c) continue preparation and dissemination of research findings, and (d) submit an R01 to NIAAA. This study extends Dr. Talley's research on sexual minority substance use behaviors to investigate (a) the role of sexual self-concept conflict in determining etiology and course of alcohol use behaviors among women and (b) explanatory variables that may account for alcohol use behaviors among women who report sexual self-concept conflict. Study findings will provide pilot data for Dr. Talley's R01 submission. The current aims are also in-line with NIAAA's (2005) expressed desire "to further research with a broader representation of LGBT individuals" to "improve services and outcomes in the prevention and treatment of alcohol abuse among LGBT individuals." PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Briefly, the proposed research project can help researchers and clinicians better understand how the process of sexual questioning may contribute to heightened alcohol involvement for women who acknowledge inconsistent or unstable beliefs about their own sexual orientation. This information can be used to design interventions to better address problem drinking among subgroups of women during emerging adulthood.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的“独立之路奖”的主要目标是加速和完成 Amelia Talley 博士在酒精相关研究方面的培训，并启动她作为独立科学家和终身教授助理教授的职业生涯位置。 Talley 博士是一位心理学家，也是密苏里大学 (MU) NIAAA T32 培训资助的博士后研究员。为期 2 年的 K99 阶段将完成 Talley 博士在成年初期酒精使用模式检查方面的培训，重点是性少数人群以及酒精参与的相关动机决定因素。在监督下，塔利博士将： (c) 完全适应一定程度的性自我概念冲突； (b) 检查妇女饮酒行为的模式和动机决定因素，证明性自我概念存在冲突； (c) 参加与酒精使用和滥用、定性和高级定量数据分析、身份形成和专业发展问题相关的课程、讲习班和会议； (d) 试行所有实验程序和材料。塔利博士还将投入一部分时间通过手稿准备和提交、与酒精和性少数药物使用问题专家的咨询以及为全国求职准备材料来传播研究成果。拟议的导师谢尔博士和顾问博士。 Wood、Steinley、Bartholow、Hughes 和 Diamond 分别是大学饮酒、纵向统计模型、多元统计模型、饮酒方法、女性性少数物质使用和女性性别认同发展方面的专家。 MU 是世界一流的研究机构，拥有完成 K99 目标所需的资源。为期 3 年的 ROO 阶段将允许塔利博士 (a) 进行一系列实验研究，检查性自我概念冲突与饮酒之间关系的调节因素 (b) 建立她的实验室 (c) 继续准备和传播研究(d) 向 NIAAA 提交 R01。这项研究扩展了塔利博士对性少数物质使用行为的研究，以调查（a）性自我概念冲突在确定女性饮酒行为的病因和过程中的作用，以及（b）可能解释酒精使用行为的解释变量在报告性自我概念冲突的女性中。研究结果将为 Talley 博士提交的 R01 提供试点数据。当前的目标也符合 NIAAA（2005）所表达的“进一步研究更广泛的 LGBT 个体代表性”的愿望，以“改善 LGBT 个体中酒精滥用预防和治疗的服务和结果”。 公共健康相关性：简而言之，拟议的研究项目可以帮助研究人员和临床医生更好地了解性质疑的过程如何可能导致承认对自己的性取向不一致或不稳定的信念的女性增加酗酒的程度。这些信息可用于设计干预措施，以更好地解决成年初期女性亚群体的饮酒问题。
