需要及时跟踪国家酒精消费模式，以便为旨在减少酒精相关危害的战略和政策提供信息和评价。从2014年到至少2017年，酒精工具包研究（ATS）将提供此类跟踪数据，并将这些数据与政策变化和运动联系起来。由于它与“吸烟工具包研究”（STS）的联系，还将审查酒精和吸烟相关行为之间的联系。ATS包括横断面家庭，计算机辅助访谈的代表性样本的成年人在英国16岁以上。每个月都有大约1800名成年人的新样本完成调查（每年~n = 21,600）。所有同意接受随访的受访者在6个月后完成电话调查。ATS已获得资助，在3年期间收集至少36波基线数据和6个月随访数据。问题包括酒精消费和相关危害（审计）、社会人口特征、减少或停止消费的尝试以及与此相关的因素，以及接受有关酒精的健康专业建议的情况。自2006年起，化粪池系统一直追踪与吸烟有关的主要表现指标。由于ATS和STS涉及相同的应答者，因此有可能评估酒精和烟草使用变化之间的相互作用。数据分析将包括：1)根据预先定义的一套原则进行描述性和探索性分析，同时允许对先前分析产生的调查线进行追踪；2)根据预先规定的、公布的分析计划进行假设检验。关于重要趋势的描述性数据将每月在一个专门的网站上公布：www.alcoholinengland.info。酒精工具包研究将提高对影响酒精消费的人口水平因素的理解，并成为政策评估和规划的重要资源。
Timely tracking of national patterns of alcohol consumption is needed to inform and evaluate strategies and policies aimed at reducing alcohol-related harm. Between 2014 until at least 2017, the Alcohol Toolkit Study (ATS) will provide such tracking data and link these with policy changes and campaigns. By virtue of its connection with the ‘Smoking Toolkit Study’ (STS), links will also be examined between alcohol and smoking-related behaviour. The ATS consists of cross-sectional household, computer-assisted interviews of representative samples of adults in England aged 16+. Each month a new sample of approximately 1800 adults complete the survey (~n = 21,600 per year). All respondents who consent to be followed-up are asked to complete a telephone survey 6 months later. The ATS has been funded to collect at least 36 waves of baseline and 6-month follow-up data across a period of 3 years. Questions cover alcohol consumption and related harm (AUDIT), socio-demographic characteristics, attempts to reduce or cease consumption and factors associated with this, and exposure to health professional advice on alcohol. The ATS complements the STS, which has been tracking key performance indicators relating to smoking since 2006. As both the ATS and STS involve the same respondents, it is possible to assess interactions between changes in alcohol and tobacco use. Data analysis will involve: 1) Descriptive and exploratory analyses undertaken according to a pre-defined set of principles while allowing scope for pursuing lines of enquiry that arise from prior analyses; 2) Hypothesis testing according to pre-specified, published analysis plans. Descriptive data on important trends will be published monthly on a dedicated website: www.alcoholinengland.info. The Alcohol Toolkit Study will improve understanding of population level factors influencing alcohol consumption and be an important resource for policy evaluation and planning.
