项目摘要

This is a competing continuation application. This longitudinal study examines the etiologic determinants of changes between adolescence and adulthood in alcohol and drug use and dependence, and the consequences of alcohol and drug use and abuse/dependence on the individual's functioning. The ultimate goal of this research is to investigate developmental pathways to alcohol and drug use and dependence and cessation, and to identify adult protective factors that will offset risks for alcohol and drug use and dependence in adulthood. The sample includes low-income urban African American and Puerto Rican adults who were seen in early/middle adolescence, then in late adolescence, then in their early 20¿s, and again in their mid 20¿s. We now propose to study them in their thirties. A fifth data collection is proposed to accomplish the following: (1) examine the interrelations and interactions of risk and protective factors, including personality, family, peers, ecological context, acculturation/cultural values, and African American and Puerto Rican ethnic/racial identity, as they affect the course of alcohol and drug use/abuse/dependence (i.e., onset, stability, cessation) and criminal behavior in these adults; and (2) To study the consequences of early alcohol and drug use and abuse/dependence and other problem behaviors on adult intra- and interpersonal functioning. Interviews with the adult participants will be conducted by trained, interviewers. Scales with adequate psychometric properties measuring the independent variables will be developed from the interview schedules. The primary analytic techniques will be structural equation modeling and other regression-based techniques. This research will enable us to provide further information on (1) suggested specific strategies to prevent increases in alcohol and drug use and dependence, (2) factors promoting the decrease or cessation of drug use, and (3) the timing most adequate to implement these strategies.

这是一个竞争性的延续申请。这项纵向研究研究了在酒精，吸毒和依赖性中，青少年和成年之间的变化，以及酒精和吸毒的后果以及对个人功能的依赖。最终这项研究的目标是研究酒精和吸毒以及依赖性的发育途径以及停止，并确定将抵消酒精和吸毒和依赖风险的成人保护因素成年。样本包括低收入城市非裔美国人和波多黎各成年人参见早期/中期青少年，然后在青少年后期，然后在20 s的初期，并在其20年代中期。我们现在建议他们三十多岁。提出了第五个数据收集以完成以下操作：（1）检查风险和保护因素的相互关系和相互作用，包括个性，家庭，同龄人，生态环境，适应/文化价值观以及非裔美国人和波多黎各族裔/种族身份，因为它们会影响酒精和毒品使用/滥用/依赖的过程（即发作，稳定，停止）和这些成年人的犯罪行为；（2）研究早期饮酒和吸毒的后果以及虐待/依赖性以及对成人人体内部和人际职能的其他问题行为。采访成人参与者将由受过训练的面试官进行。具有足够心理测量特性的量表测量自变量将从面试时间表开发。主要分析技术将是结构方程建模和其他基于回归的技术。这项研究会使我们能够提供有关（1）建议的特定策略以防止酒精增加的信息以及药物使用和依赖性，（2）促进吸毒减少或停止的因素，以及（3）时间安排最足够实施这些策略。
