项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY Low-socioeconomic status (SES) Black men experience more negative consequences per ounce of alcohol consumed than do their White peers, including alcohol use disorders and alcohol-related injuries, social, legal, criminal justice, and work difficulties; and chronic disease risk. Notably, heavy drinking is not a prerequisite for negative outcomes; heightened consequences can occur at modest drinking levels. The decade after high school is a developmental inflection point for alcohol use among Black men. Alcohol use is low during adolescence, with steep increases during the young adult years. “Late onset” drinking is typically associated with declining use during ages 25-30 and reduced risk for chronic problems: an emerging adult limited pattern. In contrast, low SES Black men, despite a late onset, are at risk for escalating use and long-term consequences: an alcohol use proliferation pattern. To date, no prospective studies have been conducted with low-SES Black men that investigate the psychosocial processes that amplify, sustain, or mitigate alcohol use and its consequences across the adult transition. We propose to collect two waves of data from 400 participants in the African American Men's Project (AMP). AMP participants live in rural Georgia, a region of persistent poverty and racial disparities in health. Men provided data (M ages 20.3, 21.9, and 23.6) on their use of alcohol and other drugs, psychological functioning, and contextual and developmental risk and protective processes; follow-up data will be collected when men are approximately ages 26.5 and 28.5. This will permit an investigation of risk and resilience across the decade after high school when escalating alcohol use rates and consequences manifest. We expect that scarce resources make the transition to the workforce and to adult roles a difficult process. Some men who see no pathway to attainment of future goals, withdraw from conventional institutions and relationships that deter alcohol use and minimize its consequences. Among socially and economically marginalized young men, chronic stress and major negative life events proliferate, taxing men's emotional and cognitive resources, increasing the attractiveness of alcohol use, and promoting maladaptive decision making. Despite the toll that resource-poor rural environments exact, many will avoid heavy drinking and alcohol use consequences. We thus also propose to investigate factors associated with family relationships, religiosity, coping strategies, and racial identity that attenuate of alcohol use vulnerabilities.

项目概要低社会经济地位 (SES) 黑人男性每盎司酒精会经历更多负面后果比白人同龄人的饮酒量更大，包括酒精使用障碍和酒精相关伤害、社会、法律、刑事司法和工作困难；以及慢性疾病风险值得注意的是，酗酒不是先决条件。适度饮酒后的十年内可能会出现负面结果；学校是黑人饮酒的发展拐点，期间饮酒量较低。青春期，在青年时期急剧增加通常与“晚发”饮酒有关。 25-30 岁年龄段的使用量减少，慢性问题的风险降低：一种新兴的成人有限模式。相比之下，社会经济地位低的黑人男性，尽管发病较晚，但仍面临不断升级使用和长期使用的风险。后果：迄今为止，尚未针对酒精使用扩散模式进行前瞻性研究。社会经济地位低的黑人男性调查放大、维持或减轻饮酒的心理社会过程我们建议从 400 人中收集两波数据。非裔美国男性项目 (AMP) 的参与者居住在佐治亚州的农村地区。男性提供了有关其使用情况的数据（男性年龄 20.3、21.9 和 23.6）。酒精和其他药物、心理功能以及背景和发育风险和保护过程；后续数据将在男性大约 26.5 岁和 28.5 岁时收集。对高中毕业后十年酒精使用率上升时的风险和复原力进行调查我们预计稀缺资源会向劳动力和劳动力转移。成人角色是一个艰难的过程，一些男人因为看不到实现未来目标的途径而退出。使用传统的机构和关系来威慑酒精并尽量减少其后果。年轻人的社会和经济状况日益恶化，慢性压力和重大负面生活事件激增，消耗男性的情感和认知资源，增加饮酒的吸引力，并促进尽管资源匮乏的农村环境造成了不利的影响，但许多人还是会避免做出适应不良的决策。因此，我们还建议调查与酗酒和饮酒相关的因素。减少饮酒的家庭关系、宗教信仰、应对策略和种族身份漏洞。
