DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose a Center to Prevent Alcohol Related Problems Among Young People. Alcohol is associated with the leading cause of death in this age group, unintentional and intentional injuries. Further, people who begin drinking at an earlier age are more likely to experience alcohol dependence and other alcohol related health problems during both adolescence and adulthood. The Center has: research, training, and education objectives. Three research projects will be conducted 1) To explore whether persons who begin drinking younger ages are more likely as adults to experience a variety of alcohol related health problems even after analytically controlling for alcohol dependence and heavy drinking, we will analyze data from the National Longitudinal Alcohol Epidemiology Study, the National Epidemiological Survey of Alcohol Related Conditions, and the College of Alcohol Survey. We will also conduct a new national survey N=3000 collecting information not in those surveys to explore reasons why persons who start drinking at younger ages are more likely to develop alcohol dependence and other alcohol related problems. 2) We will conduct a randomized trial to determine whether residual effects of alcohol impair next day academic performance of college students. 3) We will undertake a randomized trial to determine whether a brief motivational interview and active referral reduces drinking, injury, and alcohol related problems among the Boston Medical Center Pediatric Emergency Department patients. We initially propose two pilot projects 1) a qualitative study to explore whether the age of drinking onset relates to alcohol dependence in an Italian sample and 2) an experimental comparison of web based vs. mail screening for alcohol abuse and dependence in a college population. New pilot projects will be subsequently solicited. Training objectives are to expand and improve alcohol-related research at Boston University by: fostering and collaboration between researchers; hosting seminars and workshops; and facilitating opportunities for doctoral students. Educational objectives are to: (1) facilitate the development of campus/community partnerships in Massachusetts that involve multiple segments of city government and college communities including students to identify and implement interventions to reduce college alcohol related problems. Dissemination of the Center's published findings to both, researcher and practitioner audiences will be facilitated by the Center's strong relationship with Mothers Against Drunk Driving, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation-funded Join Together program, and the U.S. Department of Education's Higher Education Center for Alcohol and Other Drug Prevention.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们提议建立一个预防年轻人酒精相关问题的中心。酒精是该年龄段的主要原因，即意外伤害和故意伤害。此外，较早开始饮酒的人在青春期和成年期更有可能出现酒精依赖和其他与酒精相关的健康问题。该中心有：研究、培训和教育目标。将进行三个研究项目 1) 为了探讨即使在分析控制酒精依赖和酗酒之后，年轻时开始饮酒的人是否更有可能在成年后经历各种与酒精相关的健康问题，我们将分析来自国家纵向调查的数据酒精流行病学研究、全国酒精相关状况流行病学调查和酒精调查学院。我们还将开展一项新的全国调查 N=3000，收集这些调查中未包含的信息，以探讨为什么在较年轻的时候开始饮酒的人更有可能出现酒精依赖和其他与酒精相关的问题。 2）我们将进行一项随机试验，以确定酒精的残留影响是否会影响大学生第二天的学业表现。 3) 我们将进行一项随机试验，以确定简短的动机访谈和主动转诊是否可以减少波士顿医疗中心儿科急诊科患者的饮酒、受伤和酒精相关问题。我们最初提出了两个试点项目：1）一项定性研究，以探讨意大利样本中饮酒开始的年龄是否与酒精依赖有关；2）对大学人群中基于网络和邮件的酒精滥用和酒精依赖筛查进行实验比较。随后将征集新的试点项目。培训目标是通过以下方式扩大和改进波士顿大学与酒精相关的研究： 促进研究人员之间的合作；举办研讨会和讲习班；并为博士生提供机会。教育目标是：（1）促进马萨诸塞州校园/社区伙伴关系的发展，涉及市政府和大学社区的多个部门（包括学生），以确定和实施干预措施，以减少大学酗酒相关问题。该中心与反对醉酒驾驶母亲组织、罗伯特·伍德·约翰逊基金会资助的“联合计划”以及美国教育部酒精和酒精高等教育中心的密切关系将有助于向研究人员和从业人员传播该中心已发表的研究成果。其他药物预防。
