背景资料：对于年轻夫妇来说，伴侣的重度饮酒可能是冲突和关系紧张的一个点，特别是当伴侣之间饮酒的严重程度存在差异时。目的：其目的是研究重度饮酒差异的纵向影响，特别是在有养育责任的夫妇中。研究方法：数据来自554对异性恋夫妇（至少一方年龄在18岁至30岁之间），来自一项成熟的澳大利亚家庭纵向研究的两次评估。结果如下：多层次分析（研究时间内的合作伙伴在夫妇）表明，高水平的夫妇水平的变化，在个人报告的关系满意度。在评估期间，重度饮酒的谨慎性与关系满意度呈负相关，这一点受到父母身份的显着调节。更具体地说，大量饮酒的差异与父母之间的关系满意度较低，而不是非父母。结论：在不满意的夫妇中，管理酒精使用的差异和帮助酗酒的伴侣可能是一个重要的干预重点，特别是在为年轻父母提供专业支持时。
Background: For young couples, a partner's heavy alcohol use may be a point of conflict and relationship distress, particularly when there are disparities in the severity of drinking across partners. Objective: The aim was to examine the longitudinal impact of discrepancies in heavy alcohol use, particularly in couples with parenting responsibilities. Methods: Data were obtained from 554 heterosexual couples (with at least one partner aged between 18 and 30years of age) over two assessments from a well-established longitudinal study of Australian households. Results: Multilevel analyses (examining time within partners within couples) indicated a high level of couple-level variation in individual reports of relationship satisfaction. Discrepancies in heavy alcohol use were negatively associated with relationship satisfaction over the assessment period and this was significantly moderated by parenthood. More specifically, heavy drinking discrepancies were associated with lower relationship satisfaction amongst parents more than nonparents. Conclusion: Among dissatisfied couples, managing discrepancies in alcohol use and helping heavy drinking partners may be an important intervention focus, particularly when providing professional support for young parents.
