目的：报告全国范围内白人、黑人和西班牙裔人在酒精影响下驾驶模式的调查数据。方法：数据来自美国家庭人口中1582名黑人，1585名西班牙裔和1636名白人组成的概率样本。平均1小时的采访长度进行了受访者的家中由训练有素的采访。结果如下：自我报告的酒后驾车“如果被警察拦下就会有麻烦”的比例在白色和西班牙裔男性中最高（分别为22%和21%），酒后驾车的终身逮捕率也最高（白色男性为13%，西班牙裔男性为19%）。此外，我们的分析表明，在酒精影响下驾驶的饮酒者更有可能是男性（无论种族如何），消费更多的酒精，并且比不参与酒精受损驾驶的饮酒者更依赖酒精。(C)1999爱思唯尔科技有限公司。保留所有权利。
Objective: To report nationwide survey data on patterns of driving under the influence of alcohol among Whites, Blacks and Hispanics. Method: Data were obtained from a probability sample consisting of 1582 Blacks, 1585 Hispanics and 1636 Whites in the US household population. Interviews averaging 1 h in length were conducted in respondents' homes by trained interviewers. Results: Self-reported rates of driving a car after having drunk enough 'to be in trouble if stopped by the police' were highest among White and Hispanic men (22 and 21%, respectively), as were lifetime arrest rates for driving under the influence of alcohol (13% for White men, 19% for Hispanic men). Additionally, our analyses suggest that drinkers who drive under the influence of alcohol are more likely to be men (regardless of ethnicity), consume more alcohol, and be alcohol dependent than drinkers who do not engage in alcohol-impaired driving.
