DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of the proposed study is to build on an ongoing study of health-risk behaviors in 4th-8th graders [R01-HD39554] by following three original cohorts(4-6th graders) through high school. Specific aims are to: 1. Compare the contextual/risk factors, protective resources and health-behaviors of adolescents (9th-12th graders) by gender, and ethnicity. 2. Explore how contextual/risk factors, protective resources, and health behaviors of adolescents change overtime. 3. Determine which set of contextual/risk factors and protective resources best predict health-promoting behaviors and health-risk behaviors in each year of middle-to-late adolescence (grades 4-12). 4. Describe adolescents' motivations for engaging in health-promoting behaviors and health-risk behaviors. A cohort-sequential design will be used to collect data from an accessible, multi-ethnic sample of 1186 adolescents and their parents residing in central Texas. Surveys consisting of valid research instruments to measure theoretical variables in a resilience model will be administered annually for four years in adolescents' homes using audio-computer-assisted survey interviewing (A-CASI) techniques. This design allows for both cross-sectional and longitudinal data analysis. Data from the ongoing study plus new data collected in the proposed study will be combined to answer the research questions and test hypotheses using general linear models, generalized linear models, and general linear mixed models (HLM). Qualitative data to meet the fourth specific aim will be collected from a random sample of 25 9th graders from each of the three cohorts and analyzed using manifest and latent content analysis. Findings will contribute to the public health by providing information from which to develop specific interventions that target multiple behaviors associated with the major morbidities and mortalities of individual in the second decade of life, particularly disadvantaged, rural, racial and ethnic minorities.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的研究的目的是基于对4至8年级学生的健康风险行为的持续研究[R01-HD39554]，遵循高中的三个原始同志（4-6年级）。具体目的是：1。比较青少年（9至12-12年级）的上下文/风险因素，保护性资源和卫生行为，性别和种族。 2。探索青少年的上下文/风险因素，保护资源和健康行为如何随着时间而改变。 3.确定哪一组上下文/风险因素和保护资源可以最好地预测促进健康的行为和健康风险的行为，而健康风险的行为（4 - 12年级）。 4。描述青少年从事健康促进行为和健康风险行为的动机。队列序列设计将用于从1186名青少年及其父母居住在德克萨斯州中部的可访问的多民族样本中收集数据。由有效的研究工具组成的调查将使用音频计算机辅助调查访谈（A-CASI）技术在青少年的房屋中每年进行四年的理论变量。该设计允许横截面和纵向数据分析。正在进行的研究以及拟议研究中收集的新数据的数据将合并，以回答研究问题并使用通用线性模型，通用线性模型和一般线性混合模型（HLM）检验假设。实现第四个特定目标的定性数据将从三个同类同类中的每一个的25个9年级学生的随机样本中收集，并使用清单和潜在内容分析进行分析。调查结果将通过提供信息来制定特定干预措施，以针对与个人的主要病态和死亡人数相关的多种行为，尤其是弱势群体，农村，种族和少数民族相关的多种行为。
