过量饮酒，特别是在年轻男性中，是一个重要的全球健康问题，部分原因是故意和非故意伤害、使用非法药物、犯罪和精神疾病的风险增加。没有数据可用于评估干预措施在减少泰国年轻男性危险/有害酒精消费方面的有效程度。我们研究了酒精危害减少策略的有效性，作为同行饮酒组动机干预（PD-GMI）之间的泰国男budgets. METHODS我们使用了准实验研究设计，包括两个学生组在基线和两个时间点后进行评估干预。参与者是在两所公立大学就读的学生，他们报告在本学年饮酒。一所大学的学生被分配到一个仅评估的研究组（n=110）;另一所大学的学生被分配到一个2小时的PD-GMI（n=115）。这项干预措施旨在：（1）提高对危险/有害酒精消费相关风险的认识;（2）增强学生改变饮酒行为的动机;（3）鼓励在饮酒期间采取减少危害的战略。使用酒精使用障碍识别测试（AUDIT）和罗格斯酒精问题指数（RAPI）评估酒精消费和不良后果。接受干预的学生平均AUDIT评分显著降低;基线至1个月时为50.4%，基线至干预后3个月时为61.2%。他们的平均RAPI评分也降低了;基线至1个月为42.0%，基线至干预后3个月为42.9%。与对照组相比，干预组学生的饮酒量减少和有害饮酒模式的流行率在统计学上显着。调整基线differences. CONCLUSION后，减少仍然存在这些结果表明，PD-GMI干预的有效性，减少泰国男学生的饮酒量和不良后果。
BACKGROUNDExcessive alcohol consumption, particularly among young males, is an important global health problem, in part because of the increased risks of intentional and non-intentional injuries, uses of illicit drug, crime, and psychiatric disorders. There are no data available to evaluate the extent to which interventions are effective in reducing hazardous/harmful alcohol consumption among young males in Thailand. We examined the efficacy of alcohol harm reduction strategies administered as a peer-drinking group motivational intervention (PD-GMI) among Thai male undergraduates.METHODSWe used a quasi-experimental study design that included two student groups assessed at baseline and at two time points post-intervention. Participants were students enrolled in two public universities and who reported alcohol consumption during the current academic year. Students in one university were assigned to an assessment-only study group (n=110); and students in the other university were assigned to a 2-h PD-GMI (n=115). This intervention was designed to (1) increase the awareness of risks associated with hazardous/harmful alcohol consumption; (2) enhance students’ motivation to change their drinking behaviours; and (3) encourage harm reduction strategies during episodes of alcohol consumption. Alcohol consumption and adverse consequences were assessed using the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) and the Rutgers Alcohol Problem Index (RAPI).RESULTSStudents receiving the intervention had significant reductions in mean AUDIT scores; 50.4% at baseline to 1-month and 61.2% at baseline to 3-month post-intervention. Their mean RAPI scores were also reduced; 42.0% at baseline to 1-month and 42.9% at baseline to 3-month post-intervention. Reductions in alcohol consumption and the prevalence of harmful alcohol consumption patterns were statistically significant among students in the intervention group versus those in the control group. The reductions remained after adjustments for baseline differences.CONCLUSIONSThese results suggest the efficacy of the PD-GMI intervention for reducing alcohol consumption and adverse consequences among Thai male students.
