To better understand underage drinking and how it can be prevented, research is being conducted in a wide variety of disciplines--focusing on aspects such as risk and protective factors, biological processes underlying human development, and the impact of socioenvironmental and pharmacologic influences on these mechanisms. This article examines underage drinking from a developmental perspective, which seeks to identify critical developmental periods during which interventions may be especially useful. These critical periods can provide key opportunities to redirect the course of development and alter the life course trajectory of the individual.
为了更好地理解未成年人饮酒问题以及如何预防该问题，目前正在多个学科领域开展研究，重点关注风险和保护因素、人类发育的生物学过程以及社会环境和药理学影响对这些机制的作用等方面。本文从发育角度审视未成年人饮酒问题，旨在确定干预措施可能特别有效的关键发育阶段。这些关键阶段可为改变发育进程和个人生命轨迹提供重要契机。
