该研究调查了：(1) 饮酒者对自助服务的兴趣程度，以及 (2) 对这些服务兴趣的预测因素。 1,557 名安大略省受访者的代表性样本参与了电话调查。目前的饮酒者 (n = 1,247) 被问及他们是否有兴趣获得：(a) 治疗师打来的电话，帮助他们评估自己的饮酒情况，(b) 一本自助书籍，以及 (c) 将自己的饮酒情况与其他加拿大人进行比较的计算机化总结。对那些对所提供的每项服务感兴趣和不感兴趣的人进行了人口统计和饮酒相关变量的双变量比较。使用逻辑回归分析来寻找最感兴趣的预测因子。结果显示，16% 的人对电话感兴趣，26% 的人对自助书籍感兴趣，39% 的人对计算机化规范反馈感兴趣。饮酒的负面后果和社会资源减少的迹象增加了人们对自助服务的兴趣。计算机反馈和自助书籍是廉价且非侵入性的方式，可以激励早期饮酒问题者做出改变，因为它们提高了目标人群的兴趣。 (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. 保留所有权利。
The study investigates: (1) the level of interest in self-help services for drinkers, and (2) the predictors of interest in these services. A representative sample of 1,557 Ontario respondents participated in a telephone survey. Current drinkers (n = 1,247) were asked about their interest in getting: (a) a telephone call from a therapist to help them evaluate their drinking, (b) a self-help book, and (c) a computerized summary comparing their drinking to that of other Canadians. Bivariate comparisons of demographic and drinking-related variables were made between those interested and not interested in each of the offered services. Logistic regression analysis was used to find the best predictors of interest. The results revealed that 16% were interested in a telephone call, 26% in a self-help book, and 39% in computerized normative feedback. Negative consequences of drinking and indicators of lower societal resources increased interest in self-help services. Computerized feedback and self-help books serve as cheap and nonintrusive ways to provide incentive for change to early-stage problem drinkers due to the interest they raise in the intended target population.
