我们研究了饮酒规范，同龄人饮酒，酒精供应，饮酒地点，酒精消费和饮酒相关的问题之间的关系，在年轻的成年饮酒者。我们研究的具体目标是评估规范和物理环境因素对饮酒和饮酒后果的相对贡献。受试者为3,095名18至20岁的年轻人，他们参加了社区动员改变酒精项目基线调查。酒精消费（即，最后一次饮酒的次数）和饮酒后果作为因变量。多元线性回归用于确定饮酒量的预测因子，Logistic回归用于确定饮酒后果的预测因子。饮酒规范和同龄人饮酒与饮酒量和饮酒后果呈正相关。在公共场合饮酒与酒精消费呈正相关，但与饮酒相关问题无关。研究结果表明，政策和计划，改变周围的规范和物理环境饮酒可能会减少酒精消费和随后的问题，在年轻人。
We examined relationships among drinking norms, peer alcohol use, alcohol availability, drinking location, alcohol consumption, and drinking-related problems among young adult drinkers. The specific objectives of our study were to assess the relative contribution of normative and physical environmental factors to drinking and drinking consequences. Subjects were 3,095 young adults, aged eighteen to twenty years old who participated in the Communities Mobilizing for Change on Alcohol Project baseline survey. Alcohol consumption (i.e., number of drinks on the last occasion) and drinking consequences served as dependent variables. Multiple linear regression was used to identify predictors of alcohol consumption, and logistic regression was employed to identify predictors of drinking consequences. Drinking norms and peer alcohol use were positively related to alcohol consumption and to drinking consequences. Drinking in a public setting was positively related to alcohol consumption, but not to drinking-related problems. Findings suggest that policies and programs that alter the normative and physical environment surrounding drinking may reduce alcohol consumption and subsequent problems in young adults.
