新型冠状病毒（COVID-19）自2020年3月11日被宣布为大流行以来，已影响全球人民的生活。旨在拉平曲线的社会限制可能与压力和焦虑的增加有关，这可能会增加酒精作为应对机制的使用。这项研究的目的是检查是否压力和焦虑与成年双胞胎样本中酒精使用的变化有关。双胞胎使我们能够控制遗传和共同的环境因素，这些因素会混淆酒精与精神健康的关系。来自华盛顿州双胞胎登记处（WSTR）的双胞胎（N = 3,971; 909对同性对）完成了一项在线调查，调查了几种与健康相关的行为和结果，以及他们自我报告的因COVID-19而发生的变化。大约14%的受访者报告饮酒量增加。我们发现压力和焦虑与饮酒增加之间存在关联，压力和焦虑水平较高的双胞胎更有可能报告饮酒增加。这些关联很小，并且受到家庭因素和人口统计学特征的混淆。然而，不饮酒者和那些报告饮酒量没有变化的人之间的压力或焦虑水平没有显着差异。我们的研究结果表明，个人的心理健康可能与COVID-19大流行期间酒精使用的变化有关。
The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has impacted the lives of people worldwide since being declared a pandemic on March 11, 2020. Social restrictions aimed at flattening the curve may be associated with an increase in stress and anxiety, which may increase the use of alcohol as a coping mechanism. The objective of this study was to examine if stress and anxiety were associated with changes in alcohol use in a sample of adult twins. Twins allowed us to control for genetic and shared environmental factors that would confound the alcohol - mental health relationship. Twins (N = 3,971; 909 same-sex pairs) from the Washington State Twin Registry (WSTR) completed an online survey examining several health-related behaviors and outcomes and their self-reported changes due to COVID-19. About 14% of the respondents reported an increase in alcohol use. We found an association between both stress and anxiety and increased alcohol use, where twins with higher levels of stress and anxiety were more likely to report an increase in alcohol consumption. The associations were small and confounded by between-family factors and demographic characteristics. However, there was no significant difference in stress or anxiety levels between non-drinkers and those who reported no change in alcohol use. Our findings suggest that individuals’ mental health may be associated with changes in alcohol use during the COVID-19 pandemic.
