目的：饮酒对他人的危害已成为世界卫生组织的一个优先研究项目，20多个国家正在或计划进行研究。本研究的目的是比较两种常用措施的有效性，以确定主观水平的伤害所经历的受访者，这是由于饮酒的other.Design：一个横断面调查。设置：澳大利亚受访者招募使用计算机辅助电话采访。参与者：448名成年受访者被问及他们因他人饮酒而受到伤害的经历。受访者被问到，他们是否会因为陌生人和他们认识的酗酒者的饮酒而受到一点点或很多伤害，并被要求从1到10对这种伤害程度进行评级。他们还被问到的问题类型的伤害，他们experienced.Findings：总体而言，受访者是相当一致的，在他们的反应，这两个措施，与平均分数的一点或很多伤害类似的陌生人和已知的饮酒者的伤害。预测的两种类型的分数是相似的，根据受访者的经验的伤害，但是，有形的陌生人伤害并没有预测受到伤害了很多。结论：1至10分是更好地预测的伤害经历，然而，这可能是由于缺乏方差的二分法问题。等值分数概述和讨论。
Aim: Harm to others from alcohol consumption has become a World Health Organization research priority and the subject of current or planned research in over 20 countries. The aim of the current study is to compare the efficacy of two measures commonly used to ascertain the subjective level of harm experienced by respondents that is attributable to the drinking of others.Design: A cross-sectional survey.Setting: Australian respondents were recruited using computer-assisted telephone interviewing.Participants: 448 adult respondents were asked about their experience of harm attributable to the alcohol consumption of others.Measures: Respondents were asked whether they were harmed a little or a lot by the drinking of both strangers and heavy drinkers known to them, and were asked to rate this level of harm from 1 to 10. They were also asked questions about the types of harm they experienced.Findings: Overall, respondents were fairly consistent in their responses to these two measures, with the mean score of a little or a lot of harm similar for both stranger and known drinker harms. Prediction of the two types of scores was similar, based on the respondents' experience of harms; however, tangible stranger harm did not predict being harmed a lot.Conclusions: The 1 to 10 score is better predicted by harms experienced; however, this may be due to a lack of variance in the dichotomous question. Equivalence scores are outlined and discussed.
