项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Marijuana is the most popular illegal substance used by emerging and young adults (age 18 to 25 years). This response to RFA-DA-09-013 uses a behavioral economics conceptual framework, ecological momentary assessment (EMA) and accelerometer data to examine questions related to physical activity (PA)/exercise as a positive alternative to the regular use of marijuana (MJ). The proposed program of translational research addresses whether PA/exercise could serve as a useful and effective secondary prevention strategy for reducing MJ use among young regular (i.e., minimum twice/week) MJ users, thereby reducing their risks for negative substance-related consequences. Secondary prevention and intervention strategies are most effective if they are based on sound scientific principles that can be translated into strategies for use in the field. We propose three conceptually-driven and methodologically-sophisticated studies designed to address the following three aims: 1) to examine the extent to which PA/exercise serves as a positive alternative to MJ use as indicated by behavioral economic indices of relative reinforcement value (RRV) and substitution of PA/exercise for MJ use. 2) To examine whether the intensity of PA/exercise acutely (30 minutes, 24 hours) affects MJ craving, intent to use MJ, and MJ use. 3) To examine the extent to which social facilitation of PA/exercise (i.e., exercise with and without a MJ buddy) affects MJ use, MJ craving and intent to use MJ, both acutely (30 minutes, 24 hours) and in the short-term (up to 7 days). Each study will involve 14 days of detailed and complex real-time data from EMA and accelerometers along with behavioral tasks designed to address the research questions. Each study will provide new and unique information about the association between PA/exercise and MJ use. However, the three studies are strongly linked by their shared conceptual framework (behavioral economics) and use of innovative state-of-the-science methods (e.g., accelerometers, EMA). This program of translational research is innovative in its application of EMA to understanding ongoing MJ use. The behavioral tasks will provide a scientifically rigorous basis for developing secondary prevention strategies based on PA/exercise. The combination of EMA and accelerometer data will provide a rich context for examining PA/exercise and MJ use and allow us to explore their dynamic relations over time. Findings from these studies will make significant contributions to the very limited scientific knowledge about relationships between PA/exercise and MJ use and will enrich the development of secondary prevention strategies to reduce substance abuse risk in vulnerable populations of MJ-using emerging and young adults. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The proposed translational research involves concepts derived from behavioral economic theory (relative value, behavioral choice/substitution) and state-of-the-science technologies to determine the utility of physical activity (PA)/exercise as a secondary prevention strategy to lessen marijuana (MJ) use. Emerging and young adults (age 18 to 25 years) will use cellular phones and interactive voice response technology to provide detailed ecological momentary assessment (EMA) data on MJ use and will wear accelerometers to provide data on PA levels. Experimental tasks, EMA and PA data will help to determine the extent to which PA/exercise can serve as a positive alternative to MJ use.

描述（由申请人提供）：大麻是新兴和年轻人使用的最流行的非法物质（18至25岁）。对RFA-DA-09-013的这种反应使用了行为经济学概念框架，生态瞬时评估（EMA）和加速度计数据，以研究与体育活动（PA）/运动有关的问题，作为定期使用大麻（MJ）的积极替代方法。拟议的转化研究计划介绍了PA/运动是否可以作为减少MJ常规（即至少两次/周）MJ使用者的有用且有效的二级预防策略，从而降低了与物质相关后果的风险。如果二级预防和干预策略是基于可靠的科学原则，可以将其转化为该领域使用的策略。我们提出了三项旨在解决以下三个目标的概念驱动和方法学的研究研究：1）检查PA/运动作为MJ使用的积极替代程度，如行为经济相对增强价值（RRV）的行为经济指数（RRV）的行为经济指数，以及对PA/行使的替换为MJ使用。 2）检查PA/运动的强度是否急性（30分钟24小时）会影响MJ的渴望，使用MJ和MJ使用。 3）要检查社会促进PA/锻炼的程度（即，有或没有MJ伙伴的运动）会影响MJ使用，MJ渴望和使用MJ的使用，既敏锐地（30分钟24小时）和短期（最多7天）。每项研究将涉及14天的EMA和加速度计的详细且复杂的实时数据，以及旨在解决研究问题的行为任务。每项研究将提供有关PA/练习与MJ使用之间关联的新独特信息。但是，这三项研究通过它们的共同概念框架（行为经济学）以及使用创新的科学方法（例如ACCELEREMEMETER，EMA）有着密切的联系。该转化研究计划在应用EMA了解正在进行的MJ使用方面具有创新性。行为任务将为基于PA/锻炼制定二级预防策略提供科学严格的基础。 EMA和加速度计数据的组合将为检查PA/练习和MJ使用提供丰富的环境，并让我们随着时间的推移探索他们的动态关系。这些研究的发现将为关于PA/运动与MJ使用之间关系的非常有限的科学知识做出重大贡献，并将丰富二级预防策略的发展，以减少较脆弱的MJ使用MJ和年轻人群体中的滥用药物滥用风险。公共卫生相关性：拟议的翻译研究涉及从行为经济理论（相对价值，行为选择/替代）和最先进的技术衍生的概念，以确定体育活动（PA）/锻炼的效用，作为减少大麻（MJ）使用的二次预防策略。新兴和年轻人（18至25岁）将使用蜂窝电话和交互式语音响应技术来提供有关MJ使用的详细生态瞬时评估（EMA）数据，并将佩戴加速度计以提供PA水平的数据。实验任务，EMA和PA数据将有助于确定PA/运动可以作为MJ使用的积极替代方案的程度。
