The Three Generational Study (3GS) began in the early 90s and involves the third generation (G3) offspring of second generation (G2) fathers who were originally recruited in 1984 as part of the Oregon Youth Study (OYS) in mid childhood (ages 9-10 years) along with their first- generation (G1) parents. As boys, the G2 fathers lived in higher delinquency neighborhoods of a medium-sized Pacific Northwestern United States city. The OYS-3GS examines questions concerning socially mediated intergenerational transmission versus discontinuity (or moderation) of antisocial behavior, substance use, and related problem behaviors. Questions address influences of the grandparents, or Generation 1 (G1), on their sons in G2 and in turn of these sons and their partners on their own children in G3. In this article, we present an overview of the study design-and underlying theory-related to general and outcome-specific transmission pathways. We then summarize key issues and findings to date related to the current main focus of the study regarding intergenerational associations in substance use.
三代人研究（3GS）始于20世纪90年代初，涉及第二代（G2）父亲的第三代（G3）后代，这些第二代父亲最初于1984年作为俄勒冈青少年研究（OYS）的一部分在童年中期（9至10岁）被招募，同时参与研究的还有他们的第一代（G1）父母。作为男孩，G2父亲生活在美国太平洋西北部一个中等规模城市的高犯罪率社区。OYS - 3GS研究了有关社会介导的代际反社会行为、物质使用及相关问题行为的传递与不连续性（或调节作用）的问题。这些问题涉及第一代（G1）祖父母对他们G2代儿子的影响，以及反过来这些儿子及其伴侣对他们G3代子女的影响。在本文中，我们概述了与一般和特定结果传递途径相关的研究设计及基础理论。然后，我们总结了迄今为止与该研究当前关于物质使用代际关联的主要重点相关的关键问题和研究结果。
