这项研究的目的是报告1984年至1995年白人，黑人和西班牙裔之间的酒精问题的趋势。数据来自美国家庭的两个全国性概率样本，第一个在1984年进行，第二个在1995年进行。1984年的样本包括1777名白人，1947名黑人和1453名西班牙裔，1995年的样本包括1636名白人，1582名黑人和1585名西班牙裔。在这两种情况下，访谈（平均长度，1小时）进行了受访者的家中，由训练有素的采访者，我的结果表明，在1984年和1995年之间，酒精问题是稳定的白色和刀片男子和西班牙裔男子之间增加。1984年和1995年，每个种族群体的男性有三个或三个以上酒精问题的比例分别为：白色男性12%和11%，黑人男性16%和13%，西班牙裔男性9%和16%。在所有三个族裔群体中，问题发生率稳定，相对较低。总体而言，美国男性酗酒问题的流行率仍然很高。尽管最近的研究表明，白色男性频繁酗酒的比例有所下降，但我们发现问题的发生率并没有相应的下降。1984年至1995年期间，黑人和西班牙裔男子经常大量饮酒和与酒精有关的问题的发生率仍然特别高，这表明这两个族裔群体的男子应成为重新开展预防工作的具体目标。
The objective of this study was to report trends in alcohol problems among whites, blacks, and Hispanics between 1984 and 1995. Data were obtained from two nationwide probability samples of U.S. households, the first conducted in 1984 and the second in 1995. The 1984 sample consisted of 1777 whites, 1947 blacks, and 1453 Hispanics, The 1995 sample included 1636 whites, 1582 blacks, and 1585 Hispanics. On both occasions, interviews (average length, 1 hr) were conducted in respondents' homes by trained interviewers, me results indicate that between 1984 and 1995, alcohol problems were stable among white and blade men and increased among Hispanic men. The rates of three or more alcohol problems for men of each ethnic group for 1984 and 1995 were: 12% and 11% for white men, 16% and 13% for black men, and 9% and 16% far Hispanic men, respectively. Problem prevalence was stable and relatively low among women in all three ethnic groups. Overall, the prevalence of alcohol problems continues to be high among men in the United States. Even though recent research has shown that rates of frequent heavy drinking among white men have declined, we found no corresponding decrease in problem prevalence. Rates of frequent heavy drinking and alcohol-related problems between 1984 and 1995 have remained especially high among black and Hispanic men, suggesting that men of these two ethnic groups should be specifically targeted for renewed prevention efforts.
