在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间，科学界和公共卫生界越来越关注了解年轻人的身体距离行为，以及年轻人在病毒增强和社区传播中的作用。在本研究中，我们于2020年4月在全州“就地避难”建议期间，对来自大西雅图地区的560名年轻人（22-28岁）进行了调查，以检查年轻人自我报告的遵守身体距离指南的情况。自我报告的测量方法被用来识别强的坚持者和差的坚持者，然后我们在特定的身体距离行为和与身体距离坚持相关的酒精使用行为方面进行了比较。我们发现，大多数年轻人都被归为“强坚持者”，而“弱坚持者”报告说，他们更频繁地违反保持身体距离的指导方针，包括邀请朋友到他们的住所或去其他住所。与那些被归类为坚定的坚持者的年轻人相比，较差的坚持者也更有可能从事高风险的酒精使用行为，如大量的间歇性饮酒。我们的研究结果提供了初步证据，表明从事高风险饮酒的年轻人不遵守政府建议的保持身体距离指南的风险更大。对2019冠状病毒病大流行期间年轻人行为的更深入了解，可以更好地为公共卫生外展提供信息，以增加当前遵守身体距离的行为，并为未来可能需要社会层面遵守行为准则的传染性卫生危机做好准备。
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the scientific and public health communities have become increasingly focused on understanding young adults’ physical distancing behaviors and the role that young adults have on viral potentiation and community spread. In the present study, we surveyed a group of 560 young adults (ages 22-28) from the greater Seattle area in April 2020, during statewide “shelter-in-place” recommendations, to examine young adults’ self-reported adherence to physical distancing guidelines. Self-report measures were used to identify strong adherers and poor adherers, which we then compared in terms of engagement in specific physical distancing behaviors and alcohol use behaviors pertaining to physical distancing adherence. We found that most young adults are classified as strong adherers, and that poor adherers reported more frequent violations of physical distancing guidelines including having friends over to their residence or going over to other residences. Poor adherers were also significantly more likely to engage in high-risk alcohol use behavior, such as heavy episodic drinking, compared to those young adults who were classified as strong adherers. Our results provide initial evidence that young adults who engage in high-risk drinking may be at greater risk for non-adherence to government recommended physical distancing guidelines. This deeper understanding of young adult behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic can better inform public health outreach to increase physical distancing adherence currently, as well as in preparation for future contagious health crises that may require societal-level adherence to behavioral guidelines.
