 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Dating aggression is a prevalent and costly public health concern. Alcohol use has been consistently associated with increased risk for dating aggression as well as severity of aggression (Rothman, McNaughton Reyes, Johnson, LaValley, 2012). The present proposal aims to address this pressing public health concern by advancing our knowledge of the links between alcohol use and dating aggression among young adults as well as risk or protective factors for these links. Specifically, the current proposal is aimed at assessing and extending a theoretical moderator model of alcohol use and aggression. Elucidating potential moderating factors of the associations between alcohol use and aggression will help identify novel points of prevention and intervention. Increasing evidence suggests that relational risk factors play a key role in accounting for variation in associations between alcohol use and aggression; yet, no study has examined the moderating role of relational factors in an intensive longitudinal design (Foran & O'Leary, 2008a). Also, no research has examined the impact of dating aggression on alcohol use among young adults, accounting for such risk factors. An extension of a moderator model examining links from aggression to alcohol use is critical for understanding a potential feedback loop of aggression, and identifying potential risk for substance abuse or revictimization. The present proposal aims to address these conceptual and methodological limitations in the literature by conducting an intensive longitudinal assessment of alcohol use, dating aggression, relational risk factors, and individual risk factors. 120 participants will complete six assessments, at one month intervals. Measures in the present proposal include an assessment of alcohol use, physical, sexual and psychological dating aggression, and measures of both individual and relational risk factors. Inclusion criteria will include prior experiences of dating aggression in order to recruit a high risk sample. Unlike prior work which has primarily been cross- sectional studies of college students, the present proposal's use of an intensive longitudinal design allows for an assessment of the impact of aggression itself on alcohol use, and includes both college and non-college participants. This line of research will target the NIAAA's Division of Epidemiology and Prevention Research areas of high priority by: 1) Examining risk and protective factors for alcohol related violence among youth, 2) Informing prevention and intervention efforts targeting alcohol abuse in young adults, 3) Informing interventions aimed at reducing adverse consequences of alcohol use, particularly in young adult populations, and 4) Addressing these questions among both college and noncollege attending young adults. Overall, the proposal seeks to address a pressing and costly public health concern by furthering our understanding of moderators of associations between alcohol use and aggression. A better understanding of these links will help us toward elucidating risk and protective factors for alcohol related dating aggression among youth and informing prevention efforts aimed at reducing adverse consequences of alcohol use.

 描述（由适用提供）：约会激进是普遍且昂贵的公共健康问题。饮酒一直与约会侵略性的风险增加以及侵略性严重程度有关（Rothman，McNaughton Reyes，Johnson，Lavalley，2012年）。本提案旨在通过提高我们对饮酒与约会与年轻人约会之间的联系以及这些联系的风险或保护因素的了解来解决这种紧迫的公共卫生关注。具体来说，当前的建议是 旨在评估和扩展酒精使用和侵略性的理论主持人模型。阐明酒精使用与侵略性之间关联的潜在调节因素将有助于确定新颖的预防和干预点。越来越多的证据表明，关系风险因素在计算酒精使用与侵略性之间关联的差异方面起着关键作用；然而，尚无研究检查关系因素在密集的纵向设计中的调节作用（Foran＆O'Leary，2008a）。同样，没有研究检查约会对年轻人对饮酒的影响，这是造成这种危险因素的影响。主持人模型的扩展，该模型检查从侵略性到饮酒的联系对于理解潜在的积极反馈循环至关重要，并确定滥用药物或重新化的潜在风险。本提案旨在通过对酒精使用，约会侵略性，关系风险因素和个人风险因素进行密集的纵向评估来解决文献中这些概念和方法论上的局限性。 120名参与者将以一个月的间隔完成六项评估。本提案中的措施包括对酒精使用，身体，性和心理约会侵略性的评估，以及个人和关系风险因素的措施。纳入标准将包括先前的约会侵略经验，以招募高风险样本。与先前对大学生的横断面研究的工作不同，本提案使用密集的纵向设计可以评估侵略性本身对饮酒的影响，并包括大学和非大学参与者。这项研究将针对NIAAA的流行病学和预防研究领域高优先级的领域：1）检查风险和与酒精相关的暴力的风险和受保护因素，以告知针对年轻人的预防和干预努力，3）旨在告知旨在减少饮酒不良后果的干预措施，尤其是在年轻人中降低成年人的不良后果，以及与年轻人相关的问题，以及4个学院和4个问题。总体而言，该提案旨在通过进一步了解我们对酒精使用和侵略性之间关联的主持人的理解来解决紧迫且昂贵的公共健康问题。对这些联系的更好理解将有助于我们阐明与酒精相关约会的风险和受保护因素在青年中的积极性，并为减少饮酒的不利后果提供预防努力。
