目的：调查父母对酒精的支持信念及其与父母对酒精的态度和行为，以及儿童对酒精使用的报告之间的关系。设计：亲子二人电话访谈研究。本研究的数据来自一项为期4年的干预试验的基线访谈。背景：美国东南部。参与者：1,050对母亲或代孕母亲及其三年级的孩子，他们被招募参加为期4年的干预试验。主要结果指标：来自父母的关键指标包括饮酒信念(即，认为饮酒对儿童有保护作用的信念)，对儿童饮酒的态度，以及影响儿童尝试饮酒机会的育儿做法。结果：母亲们认为允许孩子饮酒可以对孩子产生保护作用，包括减少孩子在青少年时期饮酒的可能性，并使他们更好地抵抗同伴的影响饮酒，比例从大约15%到近40%不等。32.8%的儿童报告饮酒。研究发现，父母的饮酒信念与儿童报告的饮酒情况之间存在着强烈而显著的关联。结论：在一些小学生的父母中，早期接触酒精可能是有益的观念有很强的立足点。需要更多的研究来了解父母是如何获得支持信念的，并测试有效改变这种信念的信息以及父母中相关的支持态度和做法。
Objectives: To investigate prosipping beliefs about alcohol among parents and the relations among these beliefs, parents' alcohol-specific attitudes and practices, and children's reports of initiation of alcohol use.Design: Telephone interview study of parent-child dyads. Data for the present study are from the baseline interviews of a 4-year intervention trial.Setting: Southeastern United States.Participants: One thousand fifty pairs of mothers or mother surrogates and their third-grade children who were recruited for the 4-year intervention trial.Main Outcome Measures: Key measures from parents included prosipping beliefs (ie, beliefs that sipping alcohol has protective consequences for children), attitudes about children's sipping, and parenting practices that affect children's opportunity to try alcohol. The key measure from children was experience sipping beer, wine, or other types of alcohol.Results: The belief among mothers that allowing children to sip alcohol can have protective consequences for children, including making children less likely to drink as adolescents and making them better at resisting peer influence to drink, ranged from approximately 15% to almost 40%. Alcohol use was reported by 32.8% of children. A strong, significant association was found between parental prosipping beliefs and children's reported alcohol use.Conclusions: The notion that early exposure to alcohol can be beneficial has a strong foothold among some parents of elementary school-aged children. More research is needed to understand how parents acquire prosipping beliefs and to test messages that effectively modify such beliefs and associated prosipping attitudes and practices among parents.
