DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application proposes to continue research into the role movies play as an influence on adolescent drinking and related problem behaviors. We have successfully fielded a 4-wave longitudinal study of U.S. adolescents (ages 10-14 years at baseline). At each study wave we have assessed the adolescents' exposure to alcohol use in popular contemporary movies and their drinking behavior. Our recent analyses have indicated that viewing movie alcohol use is associated with initiation of drinking, with growth in the consumption of alcohol, and with alcohol problems. We have identified at least three mechanisms through which movie exposure may influence these behaviors: through the development of more favorable cognitions (prototypes & expectancies) as a result of seeing movie alcohol use, through effects of exposure to R-rated movies on growth in sensation seeking, and through changes in peer drinking. Finally, we have found that Black adolescents are significantly less responsive to movie exposure compared with Whites. We are following the cohort forward for an additional 3 waves as the adolescents enter high school (ages 15-19 years) and enriching the cohort with 600 Black adolescents in order to better evaluate racial differences in response to movie alcohol use. We aim also to study the association between exposure to movie alcohol use and (a) late-onset alcohol initiation among previous nonusers, and (b) increases in alcohol consumption and transition to alcohol abuse among previous users. In addition we aim to examine the implications of exposure to R-rated movies and growth in sensation seeking, and to assess the ongoing relation between exposure to movie alcohol use, R-rated movie exposure, and reckless driving and delinquent behaviors. The analyses will be conducted with controls for variables that may be correlated with movie exposure and these behaviors (e.g., parenting style), and will examine alcohol exposure effects for participants of different ages and race/ethnicity. The work will be conducted by an interdisciplinary team with expertise in substance use theory and advanced analytic procedures. In the continuation period we plan to highlight the scientific importance of the findings to existing networks of prevention professionals so as to influence education and policy approaches to reducing underage drinking problems. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: We hypothesize that alcohol use teenagers see in movies influences their beliefs about alcohol use, increases the chances they will try alcohol, increases their consumption of alcohol, and increases the chances they will develop alcohol problems. This project aims to continue to study this relationship in a group of U.S. adolescents. Alcohol use is a major underlying cause of death during adolescence, mainly due to injuries sustained while driving under the influence of alcohol. Because exposure to alcohol in movies is universal, reducing such exposure could have major public health implications.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请建议继续研究电影对青少年饮酒和相关问题行为的影响。我们已成功对美国青少年（基线年龄为 10-14 岁）进行了 4 波纵向研究。在每一轮研究中，我们都会评估青少年在当代流行电影中接触酒精的情况以及他们的饮酒行为。我们最近的分析表明，观看电影饮酒与开始饮酒、饮酒量增加以及酒精问题有关。我们已经确定了至少三种电影观看可能影响这些行为的机制：通过观看电影饮酒而产生更有利的认知（原型和期望），通过观看限制级电影对感觉增长的影响寻求并通过同伴饮酒的改变。最后，我们发现与白人相比，黑人青少年对电影的反应明显较低。当青少年进入高中（15-19 岁）时，我们将对该队列进行另外 3 波跟踪，并用 600 名黑人青少年丰富该队列，以便更好地评估对电影酒精使用反应的种族差异。我们的目标还在于研究电影中酒精使用与（a）以前不使用者中迟发性饮酒之间的关联，以及（b）以前使用者中酒精消费量的增加和向酒精滥用的转变。此外，我们的目标是研究观看 R 级电影和感觉寻求增长的影响，并评估观看电影饮酒、观看 R 级电影与鲁莽驾驶和违法行为之间的持续关系。分析将控制可能与电影接触和这些行为（例如，养育方式）相关的变量，并将检查酒精接触对不同年龄和种族/民族的参与者的影响。这项工作将由具有药物使用理论和高级分析程序专业知识的跨学科团队进行。在持续期内，我们计划向现有预防专业人员网络强调研究结果的科学重要性，以影响减少未成年人饮酒问题的教育和政策方法。公共健康相关性：我们假设青少年在电影中看到的饮酒行为会影响他们对饮酒的信念，增加他们尝试饮酒的机会，增加他们的饮酒量，并增加他们出现酒精问题的机会。该项目旨在继续研究一组美国青少年的这种关系。饮酒是青春期死亡的一个重要根本原因，主要是由于酒后驾车时受伤造成的。由于电影中酒精的接触是普遍存在的，因此减少这种接触可能会对公共健康产生重大影响。
