 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application addresses a highly significant and prevalent public health concern of young adulthood- alcohol, tobacco, nonmedical prescription drug use, and illicit drug use and related problems, which can have major consequences for personal health and safety. The focus of this application is on a potentially new risk factor for problematic ATOD use, namely, energy drinks. Energy drinks and shots are highly caffeinated beverages that are popular among adolescents and young adults. They differ from traditional caffeinated products in that they deliver higher caffeine doses and are marketed specifically to youth using messages that are related to risky behaviors. The medical community has already cautioned against energy drinks' short-term health effects, such as cardiac problems and caffeine toxicity, yet longer-term effects are poorly understood. It is plausible that energy drink consumption might contribute over time to the intensification of substance use patterns, based on prior evidence that a) energy drink consumers have above-average rates of heavy drinking and drug use, and b) high caffeine doses might enhance the addictive properties of other substances via neurobiological mechanisms. Therefore, the proposed research focuses on elucidating the longer-term interrelationships between energy drinks, alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use patterns. The investigators will analyze eight annual waves of data from a large existing longitudinal dataset (n=1,253), assembled as part of the PI's NIDA-funded study of young-adult substance use behaviors. It would be the first study to leverage longitudinal data to describe the different long-term patterns of energy drink consumption among young adults (e.g., sustained heavy use, declining use, sporadic use). This study will also identify the characteristics that distinguish between individuals with different consumption patterns, and document which of those patterns might be associated with patterns of escalating or heavy substance use over time. This application uses advanced statistical methodology (e.g., growth mixture modeling), which the research team has already used to understand longitudinal substance use patterns. This research will complement ongoing NIH-funded research focusing on the relationship between energy drink consumption and alcohol-related problems by broadening the focus to include other drugs, particularly stimulant drugs (nicotine, cocaine, prescription stimulants), which are especially likely to be influenced by caffeine's neurobiologica effects. We anticipate that findings will lay the foundation for future research with younger adolescent samples, where the risk for incident drug is high and, according to national data, energy drinks are still growing in popularity. Moreover, this research has a translational focus that can lead to policy recommendations addressing health and safety issues around energy drinks. Knowledge gained in this study will inform innovative prevention strategies for young adult substance use problems-and in that regard, be useful for students, parents, health professionals, and policy makers.

 描述（由应用程序提供）：此申请地址是年轻成年，烟草，烟草，非医疗处方药的使用以及非法药物使用及相关问题的非常重要且普遍的公共健康问题，这可能会对个人健康和安全产生重大影响。该应用的重点是有问题的ATOD使用的潜在新风险因素，即能量饮料。能量饮料和镜头是高度咖啡因的饮料，在青少年和年轻人中很受欢迎。它们不同于传统含咖啡因的产品，因为它们提供了更高的咖啡因剂量，并且使用与危险行为相关的信息专门针对青年销售。医学界已经告诫不要能量饮料的短期健康影响，例如心脏问题和咖啡因毒性，但对长期影响的理解很少。能量饮料是合理的 基于先前证据表明，消费可能会随着时间的推移加剧，a）消费者的能源饮料的饮酒和吸毒率高于平均水平，而b）高咖啡因剂量可以通过神经生物学机制增强其他物质的其他特性。因此，拟议的研究重点是阐明能量饮料，酒精，烟草和其他药物使用模式之间的长期相互关系。研究人员将分析来自现有大型纵向数据集（n = 1,253）的八年数据浪潮，该数据是PI NIDA资助的年轻成人物质使用行为的一部分。这将是第一个利用纵向数据来描述年轻人中能量饮料消耗的不同长期模式的研究（例如，持续的大量使用，使用量下降，零星使用）。这项研究还将确定区分具有不同消费模式的个体的特征，并记录其中哪些模式可能与随着时间的推移升级或重型物质使用的模式有关。该应用程序使用先进的统计方法（例如，生长混合物建模），研究团队已经用来了解纵向物质使用模式。这项研究将补充NIH资助的持续研究，重点介绍了能量饮料消耗和与酒精有关的问题之间的关系，通过将重点扩大到包括其他药物，尤其是刺激性药物（尼古丁，可卡因，处方刺激剂），这些药物尤其可能受到咖啡因Neurobiologica的影响。我们预计，发现将为未来的青少年样本提供基础，在年轻的青少年样本中，事件药物的风险很高，根据国家数据，能量饮料仍在越来越受欢迎。此外，这项研究具有翻译重点，可以提出解决能源饮料健康和安全问题的政策建议。这项研究中获得的知识将为年轻的成人药物使用问题提供创新的预防策略，并在这方面对学生，父母，卫生专业人员和政策制定者有用。
