在COVID-19大流行的早期阶段，社会隔离和被迫戒酒与美国成年人的酒精消费量急剧持续上升相吻合。虽然孤独和饮酒之间的联系已经得到了很好的建立，但对社交孤立（孤独的一种已知相关因素）的影响以及这两个变量与饮酒之间的相互作用知之甚少。第一次调查之后，在30天后的5月中下旬进行了第二波调查。从目前的分析数据集中在这第二波的datacollection.Resultswe发现大量饮酒的社会隔离（c' = 0.495;P<0.01）和孤独（B= 0.071;P<0.05）显着的直接影响。我们还发现了一个显着的间接路径，从社会隔离到酗酒，通过社会隔离的影响，提高孤独感（a= 0.919;P< .001）。社会隔离的间接影响的综合措施，大量饮酒为0.0652（0.919 × 0.071），是显着的0.05水平后，自举估计的方差constructed.Conclusionsthose最孤立的流行早期大量饮酒的风险增加，部分原因是他们的社会隔离导致孤独感增加。需要进行大流行后的研究，以探索大流行期间源于社会隔离的关系是否导致了持续的行为风险模式，从而维持了高酗酒率。
Introductionsocial isolation and forced quarantines during the early phases of the COVID-19 pandemic coincided with a steep and persistent rise in alcohol consumption among US adults. While the association between loneliness and drinking is well established, less is known about the impact of social isolation (a known correlate of loneliness) and the interplay between these two variables in relation to drinking.Methodswe recruited US adults using the MTurk platform for an online survey in early April 2020. The initial survey was followed up with a second wave, 30 days later in mid to late May. Data from the current analyses focus on this second wave of data collection.Resultswe found significant direct effects on heavy drinking for both social isolation (c’ = 0.495;P< .01) and loneliness (b= 0.071;P< .05). We also found a significant indirect path from social isolation to heavy drinking through social isolation’s impact on elevating loneliness (a= 0.919;P< .001). The indirect effect of social isolation on the composite measure of heavy drinking was 0.0652 (0.919 × 0.071) and was significant at the 0.05 level after bootstrapping estimates of the variance were constructed.Conclusionsthose most isolated early in the pandemic were at increased risk for heavy drinking, in part because their social isolation led to increased loneliness. Post-pandemic research is needed to explore whether the relationships that stemmed from social isolation during the pandemic led to a persistent pattern of behavioral risk that maintained high rates of heavy drinking.
