健康行为的区域差异可以通过人口社会人口特征的差异来解释，也可以基于其他一些差异（例如文化传统）。 本研究的目的是找出青少年饮酒的省际差异在多大程度上可以减少为各省青少年人口之间的社会人口差异。 使用了青少年健康和生活方式调查的横断面邮政调查数据。 1991年，样本按照省份规模进行加权。 它代表了每个省份 16 岁和 18 岁的芬兰人 (n = 6600)。 每周饮酒量的省际差异减少了约四分之一，并且当调整各省之间的城市化水平差异时，各省的饮酒顺序也发生了变化。 当调整社会人口因素后，两个省份仍然与其他省份存在显着差异。 我们的研究表明，芬兰青少年饮酒情况的差异与他们居住的地方有关，而不仅仅是与人口统计数据有关。
Regional variation in health behavior can be explained either by differences in the socio-demographic characteristics of population or can be based on some other differences, such as cultural traditions. The purpose of this study was to find out the extent to which provincial differences in adolescents' alcohol use can be reduced to socio-demographic differences between adolescent populations of the provinces. A cross-sectional postal survey data from the Adolescent Health and Lifestyle Survey was used. In 1991, the sample was weighted according to the size of the province. It represented 16- and 18-year-old Finns in each province (n = 6600). Provincial variation in weekly alcohol use was reduced for about one quarter and the ordering of the provinces in drinking changed when the differences in urbanization level between provinces were adjusted. When socio-demographic factors were adjusted two provinces still differed significantly from the other provinces. Our study shows that variation in alcohol use among Finnish adolescents is related to where they live, and not simply to demographics.
