背景：对美国白人、黑人和西班牙裔美国人饮酒模式的差异进行了有限的趋势研究。本文报告了10年来黑人、白人和西班牙裔美国人的饮酒模式、饮酒量(每月饮酒量)、酗酒和醉酒的全国趋势，并确定了这些行为的社会人口学预测因素。方法：数据来自1991-1992年全国纵向酒精流行病学调查(NLAES；n=42,862)和2001-2002年全国酒精及相关疾病流行病学研究(NESARC；n=43,093)。两项调查都采用多阶段整群抽样程序，从美国家庭人口中选择18岁及以上的受访者。结果：饮酒和种族群体的不同维度的趋势有所不同。在1992年至2002年期间，3个族裔中的任何一个种族的男性和女性每月的平均饮酒量没有显著差异，但目前饮酒者的比例在两性和所有3个种族中都有显著上升。多变量分析表明，与1992年的白人相比，黑人和西班牙裔的饮酒量并没有增加，但白人的饮酒量却有所增加。在1992至2002年间，每天喝5杯或5杯以上的饮料根本没有增加，但与1992年的白人相比，2002年所有群体每月至少喝一次5杯或5杯以上的饮料的可能性更大。2002年白人饮酒致醉的可能性高于1992年，但2002年白人和黑人每月至少饮酒1次的可能性高于1992年。结论：1992年至2002年，饮酒者比例上升是3个种族和性别之间唯一的共同趋势。每天喝5杯或更多饮料(白人、黑人和西班牙裔)和醉酒(白人和黑人)的人数也有所增加，但这仅限于那些报告每月至少喝一次这种饮料的人。这些变化的原因是多方面的，可能涉及人口中复杂的社会人口变化。对该领域来说，密切监测这些跨种族的饮酒趋势非常重要。
Background:There have been limited trend studies examining variations on the patterns of alcohol consumption among Whites, Blacks, and Hispanics in the United States. The current paper reports national trends in drinking patterns, volume of drinking (number of drinks per month), binge drinking, and drinking to intoxication among Blacks, Whites, and Hispanics over a period of 10 years and identifies sociodemographic predictors of these behaviors across the 3 ethnic groups.Methods:Data are from the 1991 to 1992 National Longitudinal Alcohol Epidemiologic Survey (NLAES; n = 42,862) and the 2001 to 2002 National Epidemiologic Study on Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC; n = 43,093). Both surveys used multistage cluster sample procedures to select respondents 18 years of age and older from the U.S. household population.Results:Trends varied across different dimensions of drinking and ethnic groups. There were no statistically significant differences in the mean number of drinks consumed per month among men and women in any of the 3 ethnic groups between 1992 and 2002, but there was a significant rise in the proportion of current drinkers in both genders and in all 3 ethnic groups. Multivariate analysis indicated that, compared to Whites in 1992, Blacks and Hispanics did not increase their volume of drinking, but Whites did. Drinking 5 or more drinks in day at all did not increase between 1992 and 2002, but drinking 5 or more drinks at least once a month was more likely for all groups in 2002 compared to Whites in 1992. Drinking to intoxication at all was more likely among Whites in 2002 than 1992, but drinking to intoxication at least once a month was more likely among Whites and Blacks in 2002 than 1992.Conclusion:The only common trend between 1992 and 2002 across both genders and 3 ethnic groups was a rise in the proportion of drinkers. There was also a rise in drinking 5 or more drinks in a day (Whites, Blacks, and Hispanics) and drinking to intoxication (Whites and Blacks), but this was limited to those reporting such drinking at least once a month. The reasons for these changes are many and may involve complex sociodemographic changes in the population. It is important for the field to closely monitor these cross-ethnic trends in alcohol consumption.
