项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Research has demonstrated the importance of parent drug use behaviors for child health attitudes, beliefs and behavioral contingencies, and the intergenerational transmission of substance use disorders is well- established. However, the majority of this research has viewed drugs in a binary manner: legal and illicit. As marijuana use becomes increasingly socially acceptable, and policy shifts away from criminalization of marijuana and marijuana users, research that separates marijuana use from use of other illicit drugs is becoming increasingly necessary. In particular, questions about the influence of parental marijuana use on adolescent children's perceptions of marijuana use are of clear relevance in the current social climate. The proposed project aims to investigate the mechanisms that underpin the intergenerational transmission of marijuana use and dependence within a social context. The project uses data from several consecutive years of the National Survey on Drug Use and Health that link parent and child respondents to perform mediation analyses to examine the impact of parent marijuana use and dependence on the attitudes, beliefs and behaviors of their adolescent children. In particular, attention will be paid to the impact of parental marijuana use on parent/child communication about drugs, and on the nature and direction of relationships between parent use, parent/child communications, child attitudes and beliefs, and child behaviors. The impact of the research will be to begin to form an evidence base for common-sense regulation of legal marijuana that takes into account the impact of marijuana use on the health of non-users. Further, results from this study will seek to inform pediatricians and family and adolescent health practitioners on the relative importance of parent drug use behaviors on offspring health, and point to areas for investigation of intervention strategies. The project and research training plan is designed to support the applicant's doctoral studies in the Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences at the Harvard School of Public Health. Ms. Sokol's goals for this project are to gain a full understanding of the psychology of families, and the processes and mechanisms by which intergenerational transmission of drug use behaviors occur. Ms. Sokol further aims to enhance her research and methodological skills as a social and psychiatric epidemiologist, and as a teacher, with the long- term goal of a career as an independent researcher and professor in public health and drug use epidemiology.

描述（由申请人提供）：研究表明，父母吸毒行为对儿童吸毒行为态度、信念和意外事件的重要性，并且物质使用障碍的代际传播已得到充分证实。随着大麻的使用越来越被社会所接受，并且政策不再将大麻和大麻使用者定为犯罪，将大麻的使用与其他非法药物的使用分开的研究变得越来越有必要。影响父母吸食大麻对青少年儿童对吸食大麻的看法与当前的社会氛围有着明显的相关性。拟议的项目旨在调查社会背景下大麻吸食和依赖的代际传播机制。连续多年开展的全国药物使用和健康调查将父母和儿童受访者联系起来进行中介分析，以研究父母吸食大麻和依赖大麻对其青春期子女的态度、信仰和行为的影响，这一点将受到特别关注。父母吸食大麻对父母/孩子的影响该研究的影响将是开始为毒品的常识性监管奠定证据基础。考虑到大麻使用对非吸食者健康的影响，这项研究的结果将旨在让儿科医生、家庭和青少年健康从业者了解父母吸毒行为对后代健康的相对重要性。指出干预调查的领域该项目和研究培训计划旨在支持申请人在哈佛大学公共卫生学院社会和行为科学系的博士研究，索科尔女士的目标是全面了解家庭心理学。以及吸毒行为代际传递的过程和机制，索科尔女士进一步致力于提高她作为社会和精神流行病学家以及教师的研究和方法技能，其长期目标是成为一名教师。一个公共卫生和药物使用流行病学独立研究员和教授。
