 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（由申请人提供）：约会攻击是一个普遍且代价高昂的公共健康问题。饮酒一直与约会攻击的风险增加以及攻击的严重程度相关（Rothman、McNaughton Reyes、Johnson、LaValley，2012 年）。该提案旨在通过提高我们对年轻人饮酒与约会攻击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一紧迫的公共卫生问题，具体来说，当前的提案是。 旨在评估和扩展饮酒和攻击行为的理论调节模型，阐明饮酒和攻击行为之间关联的潜在调节因素将有助于确定新的预防和干预点，表明相关风险因素在核算中发挥着关键作用。酒精使用和攻击行为之间关联的变化；然而，还没有研究在强化纵向设计中检验相关因素的调节作用（Foran & O'Leary，2008a）。此外，还没有研究检验约会攻击行为的影响。扩展调节模型来检查攻击行为与饮酒之间的联系对于理解攻击行为的潜在反馈循环以及识别药物滥用或再次受害的潜在风险至关重要。为了解决文献中的这些概念和方法上的局限性，120 名参与者将每隔一个月完成六次评估，包括对饮酒、约会攻击、关系风险因素进行深入的纵向评估。对酒精使用情况、身体状况、性和心理约会攻击，以及个人和关系风险因素的衡量标准将包括以前的约会攻击经历，以便招募高风险样本。与之前的工作主要是针对大学生的横断面研究不同。目前的提案采用了密集的纵向设计，可以评估攻击行为本身对饮酒的影响，并包括大学和非大学参与者。该研究系列将针对 NIAAA 流行病学和预防研究部门的高度优先领域。经过： 1) 检查青少年中与酒精相关的暴力的风险和保护因素，2) 为针对年轻人酗酒的预防和干预工作提供信息，3) 为旨在减少饮酒不良后果（特别是在年轻人中）的干预措施提供信息，以及 4)总体而言，该提案旨在通过进一步了解饮酒与攻击行为之间的调节因素来解决紧迫且代价高昂的公共卫生问题。阐明青少年中与酒精相关的约会攻击的风险和保护因素，并告知预防措施，以减少饮酒的不良后果。
