项目摘要

We employ a developmental perspective to understand the conditions under which state health education curriculum requirements regarding alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs (ATOD) have protective or harmful effects on youth substance use. Multiple youth surveys show that rates of participation in risky behaviors such as consumption of ATOD remain troublingly high in the US despite two decades of modest improvement, suggesting wide latitude for public policy interventions to reduce youth substance use and its related harms. We will create and maintain an ongoing, comprehensive database of state requirements pertaining to ATOD education as well as a variety of other policies pertaining to health education and academic content adopted over the 1990s and 2000s. Developmental theory will guide our empirical models. This theory suggests that the effects of policies will likely vary with the biological age and personal characteristics (e.g., gender, self-control) of students; characteristics of the student's school and peer groups (e.g., prevalence of substance use; peer use); and characteristics of the programs themselves (e.g. duration, approach). We will test these theories with the first comprehensive quasi-experimental analysis of state requirements for ATOD education in health curricula by exploiting substantial variation across states in the timing and implementation of these policies. Our outcome data will include teacher reports of actual health education instruction and youth self-reports of substance use from several representative datasets. This research will significantly advance our understanding of the appropriateness of statewide ATOD curriculum interventions in youth substance use.

我们采用发展的视角来了解州健康教育课程要求中有关酒精、烟草和其他药物 (ATOD) 的条件对青少年药物使用产生保护或有害影响。多项青少年调查显示，尽管美国二十年来有所改善，但吸食 ATOD 等危险行为的比例仍然高得令人不安，这表明减少青少年药物使用及其相关危害的公共政策干预措施有很大的自由度。我们将创建并维护一个持续、全面的数据库，其中包含与 ATOD 教育相关的国家要求以及 1990 年代和 2000 年代采用的与健康教育和学术内容相关的各种其他政策。发展理论将指导我们的实证模型。该理论表明，政策的效果可能会随着学生的生物年龄和个人特征（例如性别、自控力）而变化；学生所在学校和同龄人群体的特征（例如物质使用的流行程度；同龄人的使用情况）；以及项目本身的特点（例如持续时间、方法）。我们将通过利用各州在这些政策的时间安排和实施方面的巨大差异，对州对健康课程 ATOD 教育的要求进行首次全面的准实验分析来测试这些理论。我们的结果数据将包括来自几个代表性数据集的实际健康教育指导的教师报告和青少年对药物使用的自我报告。这项研究将极大地增进我们对全州 ATOD 课程干预青少年药物使用的适当性的理解。
