Rochester Intergenerational Study (RIGS), New York, United States, 1999-2019

The Rochester Intergenerational Study (RIGS), is an extension of the Rochester Youth Development Study (RYDS). RIGS investigates intergenerational continuity and discontinuity of drug use in a three-generation prospective design. The focal participant is the oldest biological child (G3) of the original participant in the RYDS study. The project contains developmental data collected since 1988 on the G2 parents and G1 grandparents; combining those data with the prospective data collected from 1999 to 2019 allows examination of how the parent's own developmental course influences their transition to adulthood and their behavior as parents which, in turn, can be used to explain the onset and development of the G3 child's drug use. Variables included pertain to the parent's stressors, drug use and problem behaviors, prosocial bonds, peer networks, gang affiliation, family context, major family events, and parenting behaviors. G3 assessments include their general psychosocial development, with detailed information on the onset and course of their drug use, problem behaviors, school behavior, and prosocial behavior.

罗切斯特代际研究（Rochester Intergenerational Study, RIGS）是罗切斯特青少年发展研究（Rochester Youth Development Study, RYDS）的延伸项目。该研究采用三代前瞻性研究设计，旨在探讨药物使用的代际延续性与非延续性。其核心研究对象为罗切斯特青少年发展研究原始参与者的最长生物学子代（第三代，G3）。本项目收集了自1988年起针对第二代（G2）父母与第一代（G1）祖父母的发展数据；将这些数据与1999年至2019年收集的前瞻性数据相结合，可用于分析父母自身的发展轨迹如何影响其向成年期的过渡及为人父母的行为，进而阐释第三代子代药物使用的发生与发展过程。研究所涵盖的变量涉及父母的压力源、药物使用与问题行为、亲社会联结、同伴网络、帮派归属、家庭环境、重大家庭事件及养育行为。针对G3子代的评估内容包括其整体心理社会发展状况，并详细记录了其药物使用、问题行为、在校表现及亲社会行为的发生与发展历程。
