表明COVID-19期间酒精使用增加的证据来自低至中度酒精使用样本，尚未使用严重但未经治疗的AUD患者。这项探索性横断面研究使用严重AUD成人社区样本，研究了COVID-19酒精使用的相关性。参与者被招募参加ii期随机对照试验。本研究仅分析了随机化前完成的基线测量。关键变量是饮酒量、与COVID-19相关的担忧和经历，以及1)酒精使用和2)COVID-19期间积极变化的定性反应。自COVID-19以来招募的176名参与者的平均年龄为41.4岁，女性占49.1%，白人占79%。参与者在过去30天中饮酒近23天，每个饮酒日饮用7杯标准饮料，近90%的人报告酒精使用量增加。在COVID-19的前六个月报告了更多的严重间歇性饮酒，在最近六个月报告了更多与COVID-19相关的担忧。参与者报告说，由于“手头的时间更多了”，饮酒量增加了，但疫情也“加强了人际关系”。结果证实，在COVID-19期间，未经治疗的严重AUD患者的酒精使用有所增加。研究结果强调有必要了解酒精使用和与流行病相关的情况如何相互影响患有严重AUD的成年人。
Evidence demonstrating increased alcohol use during COVID-19 comes from low- to moderate-alcohol use samples and has yet to use adults with severe but untreated AUD. Using a community sample of adults with severe AUD, this exploratory, cross-sectional study examined associations of COVID-19 alcohol use. Participants were recruited for a phase-II RCT. Only baseline measures, completed prior to randomization, were analyzed in the present study. Key variables were alcohol consumption, COVID-19-related worries and experiences, and qualitative responses of 1) alcohol use and 2) positive changes during COVID-19. 176 pariticpants recruited since COVID-19 were on average 41.4 years old, 49.1% female, and 79% White. Participants drank alcohol nearly 23 of the past 30 days, consumed 7 standard drinks per drinking day, and nearly 90% reported increased alcohol use. More heavy episodic drinking was reported in the first six-months of COVID-19 and more COVID-related concerns in the most recent six-months. Participants reported drinking increased due to “more time on their hands”, but the pandemic also “strengthened relationships”. Results affirm an increase in alcohol use during COVID-19 in adults with severe, untreated AUD. Findings underscore the need to understand how alcohol use and pandemic-related circumstances may influence one another for adults with severe AUD.
