INTERPERSONAL STRESS EXPERIENCES AND HAZARDOUS DRINKING AMONG HISPANIC ADULTS - This is an application for a Mentored Patient-Oriented Research Career Development Award (K23) to support the academic career development of the applicant. The candidate's long-term goal is to become an independent clinical investigator and leader in the theoretical understanding, treatment, and intervention of hazardous drinking and anxiety among Hispanic persons. The applicant has conducted research on transdiagnostic processes (predominantly anxiety sensitivity) and their association to health behavior research (predominately focused on smoking) among non-Hispanic White individuals. More recently, the applicant has engaged in research focused on alcohol use among Hispanic individuals as well as interpersonal stress experiences (i.e., self-reported interpersonal interactions perceived as stressful) as it relates to smoking behaviors among Hispanic persons. Thus, the applicant proposes to build on her past and more recent research experience, as well as her clinical training, in mental health and follows a logical, but novel, progression from prior research and training experiences to development of a new area of expertise in the design and evaluation of psychosocial factors associated with alcohol use and anxiety among Hispanic adults. Mentorship will be provided by a group of exemplar senior investigators and will foster the candidate's development in this new area of research. The applicant proposes a comprehensive training plan that includes development in five areas: (1) theoretical and empirical knowledge relevant to interpersonal stress experiences in the context of hazardous drinking and anxiety among Hispanic adults, (2) advanced longitudinal research design through ecological momentary assessments (EMA), (3) experiential avoidance (EA) as a transdiagnostic mechanism, (4) advanced analytic training, and (5) advanced research skills in research dissemination, leadership, and grantsmanship. Through this funding mechanism, the candidate’s proposed study aims to: (1) examine whether interpersonal stress experiences are prospectively associated with alcohol use motivation, hazardous drinking, and anxiety, (2) explore the mechanisms underlying these relations by evaluating whether EA mediates the associations between interpersonal stress experiences and alcohol- and anxiety-related outcomes, and (3) explore moderators of alcohol- and anxiety-related processes. Moreover, we seek to evaluate whether interpersonal stress experiences demonstrate associations with alcohol use motivation and anxiety that differ from those observed for other broader daily stressors. This proposal is conceptualized as a prototypical example of translational research that can explicate mechanisms from a multimethod framework to enhance our understanding of complex interpersonal stress experiences and hazardous drinking and anxiety relations and serve as a catalyst for future work in this emerging domain among Hispanic individuals. The knowledge and experience gained from this proposal will equip the candidate with a unique set of skills to advance knowledge in this important area.
