当监测人群中饮酒的患病率、危险因素和后果时，通常会采用综合措施。为了避免汇总测量中的时间依赖性偏差，评估较长时间段内饮酒的参考期或评估典型饮酒的测量被认为优于评估最近或当前饮酒的参考期。研究发现，人们的酒精消费量在一年中的各个月份都有所变化，但尚不清楚实际饮酒量的每月变化是否会影响长期或典型酒精消费量的自我报告。本研究的目的是利用一项大规模、基于人口的研究，收集了两年多的数据，目的是检查不同参考期的自我报告的饮酒量是否在一年中的几个月内波动。第三波北特伦德拉格健康调查 (HUNT3) 的参与者回答了有关过去 4 周饮酒情况、过去 12 个月每周饮酒量、每周典型饮酒量以及 14 天内典型饮酒量的问题。对于每项酒精指标，我们都会估计报告中的每月变化，并与总体平均值进行比较。无论参考期如何，所有酒精测量指标中自我报告的酒精使用情况均存在每月差异。研究发现，夏季报告饮酒水平的总体趋势最高，但过去 4 周内报告饮酒人数最多的月份是 1 月份。据报告，夏季期间，女性每周酗酒的增幅明显高于男性。长期饮酒情况和典型饮酒情况的自我报告根据受访者接受评估的月份而有所不同。因此，在设计、分析和解释基于人群的研究数据时，应考虑每月的变化，这些研究旨在检查人群中酒精使用的描述性和分析性特征。
Aggregated measures are often employed when prevalence, risk factors and consequences of alcohol use in the population are monitored. In order to avoid time-dependent bias in aggregated measures, reference periods which assess alcohol use over longer time-periods or measures assessing typical alcohol use are considered superior to reference periods assessing recent or current alcohol consumption. Alcohol consumption in the population is found to vary through the months of the year, but it is not known whether monthly variations in actual alcohol use affects self-reports of long-term or typical alcohol consumption. Using data from a large, population-based study with data-collection over two years, the aim of the present study was to examine whether self-reported measures of alcohol use with different reference periods fluctuated across the months of the year. Participants in the third wave of the Nord-Trøndelag Health Survey (HUNT3) answered questions regarding alcohol use in the last 4 weeks, weekly alcohol consumption last twelve months, typical weekly binge drinking and typical number of alcoholic drinks consumed in a 14 day period. For each of the alcohol measures, monthly variations in reporting were estimated and compared to the overall average. Monthly variations in self-reported alcohol use were found across all alcohol measures regardless of reference period. A general tendency was found for highest level of alcohol use being reported during the summer season, however, the highest number of individuals who reported alcohol use in the last 4 weeks was found in January. Women reported substantially larger increase in weekly binge drinking during the summer months than men. Self-reports of alcohol use over longer time and typical alcohol use varies according to the month the respondents are assessed. Monthly variations should therefore be taken into account when designing, analyzing and interpreting data from population-based studies aimed to examine descriptive and analytical characteristics of alcohol use in the population.
