DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this renewal application is to extend this investigation of intergenerational continuity and discontinuity in drug use in a three-generation (G1, G2, G3) prospective design, using data from the Rochester Youth Development Study (RYDS) and the Rochester Intergenerational Study (RIGS). Drug use is a serious and persistent health problem in American society with a host of negative consequences including increased risk for HIV/AIDS, cognitive impairment, and premature mortality. Four aims are addressed to better understand its origins: 1) describe intergenerational continuity and discontinuity across three generations for drug use and related problem behaviors, at both the same and different developmental stages; 2) identify mediating and moderating processes that help account for both intergenerational continuity and discontinuity in drug use; 3) examine the long-term precursors of the onset and maintenance of G3 drug use through the peak years of use; and 4) examine the intergenerational influence of G2 fathers as well as G2 mothers. The focal participant is the oldest biological child (G3) of the original participant in the RYDS study The project proposed here capitalizes on the rich developmental data collected since 1988 on the G2 parents and G1 grandparents; combining those data with the prospective data collected in the current study provides a rare opportunity to examine how the parent's own developmental course influences their transition to adulthood and their behavior as parents which, in turn, can be used to explain the onset and development of the G3 child's drug use. In Year 1 (1999), 370 G3 children (age 2 and older) and their parents were enrolled; new 2-year-olds are added each year. By Year 21, the last assessment proposed, a total of 546 G3 families will have enrolled in the study-99% of the sampling goal of all oldest biological G3 children. Annually, interviews are conducted with the G2 parent, the G3 child (age 8 and older), and, in the G2 father families, the child's bio-mother (or another primary caregiver). Measures include the parent's structural position and stressors, drug use and problem behaviors, prosocial bonds, peer networks, family context, and parenting behaviors. G3 assessments include their general psychosocial development, with detailed information on the onset and course of their drug use, other problem behaviors, and prosocial competencies. The extension of data collection through Year 21 that is proposed here is particularly crucial to realize the full potential of the project because it is duing these years that 1) the vast majority of the G3 children will move through adolescence and into early adulthood when drug use reaches its peak, 2) G3 overlaps in age with the G2 parents when they were assessed in the original study, and 3) the prevalence and frequency of G3 drug use are high enough to support detailed analyses of the aims. The findings will yield crucial insights into the onset and course of G3 drug use that have the potential to generate early and novel approaches to drug use prevention.

说明（由申请人提供）：本更新申请的目的是利用罗彻斯特青少年发展研究（ RYDS）和罗切斯特代际研究（RIGS）。吸毒是美国社会一个严重而持久的健康问题，会带来一系列负面后果，包括艾滋病毒/艾滋病风险增加、认知障碍和过早死亡。为了更好地理解其起源，我们提出了四个目标：1）描述三代人在相同和不同发展阶段吸毒和相关问题行为的代际连续性和不连续性； 2) 确定有助于解释药物使用代际连续性和不连续性的中介和调节过程； 3) 检查G3药物使用高峰期开始和维持的长期前兆； 4) 检查 G2 父亲和 G2 母亲的代际影响。重点参与者是 RYDS 研究原始参与者的最大的亲生孩子 (G3)。这里提出的项目利用了自 1988 年以来收集的关于 G2 父母和 G1 祖父母的丰富发育数据；将这些数据与当前研究中收集的前瞻性数据相结合，提供了一个难得的机会来研究父母自身的发展过程如何影响他们向成年的过渡以及他们作为父母的行为，这反过来又可以用来解释父母的成长的发生和发展。 G3儿童吸毒。第一年（1999 年），370 名 G3 儿童（2 岁及以上）及其父母入学；每年都会增加新的 2 岁儿童。到 21 年（即最后一次评估建议）时，共有 546 个 G3 家庭将参加该研究，占所有年龄最大的 G3 儿童抽样目标的 99%。每年都会对 G2 家长、G3 孩子（8 岁及以上）以及 G2 父亲家庭中孩子的亲生母亲（或其他主要照顾者）进行访谈。衡量标准包括父母的结构地位和压力源、吸毒和问题行为、亲社会纽带、同伴网络、家庭背景和养育行为。 G3 评估包括他们的一般心理社会发展，以及有关他们吸毒的开始和过程、其他问题行为和亲社会能力的详细信息。这里提议的将数据收集延长至 21 年对于实现该项目的全部潜力特别重要，因为正是在这些年中：1) 绝大多数 G3 儿童在吸毒时将度过青春期并进入成年早期达到顶峰，2) G3 与 G2 父母在最初研究中评估时年龄重叠，3) G3 药物使用的流行率和频率足够高，足以支持对目标的详细分析。这些发现将对 G3 吸毒的发生和过程产生重要的见解，有可能产生早期和新颖的吸毒预防方法。
