PARENTAL ALCOHOL USE AND CHILDREN'S INJURIES

该项目的目的是评估证据的关联性 父母饮酒与儿童伤害之间的关系在两个代表性的案例中 美国儿童样本使用1985年和1988年国民健康调查的数据 访谈调查。我们还致力于评估社会、心理和生活 可能构成饮酒联系机制的风格特征 儿童受伤的问题。饮酒与机动车有关 伤者受伤、烧伤和溺水。而当 在醉酒的成年人的照顾下，儿童似乎有可能处于 比其他人更高的受伤风险，证据表明 父母对酒精的使用和对儿童的伤害严重不足。 1985年全国健康访谈调查(NHIS)包括一份关于 关于酒精的健康促进和疾病预防 伤害预防策略的行为、使用和知识。1988年国民健康保险制度 包括一份关于成人饮酒的广泛信息的补充资料和 关于儿童伤害的详细数据的儿童健康补充资料。在……里面 在项目的第一年，将对协会进行评估 1985年附录中父母饮酒与报告的伤害之间的关系 在面试前的两周内。第二年， 将尝试使用以下方法复制第一项研究的结果 1988年的数据，并将扩展到严重程度和情况的重点 在两周内和前一年报告的受伤人数 面试。 我们假设：1)存在剂量-反应关系 儿童伤害和父母饮酒强度；2) 家庭功能受损的指标将调解这种关系 在酒精伤害之间，但父母饮酒也会有 对儿童伤害的直接影响；3)健康促进行为和 使用伤害控制策略将调解之间的联系 酒精和儿童伤害，但父母饮酒也会 对儿童的伤害有直接的影响；4)儿童的问题行为 酗酒者的子女将调解这种联系，但父母 酒精的使用也会对儿童的伤害产生直接影响。 将使用多元回归和Logistic回归来检验这些 假设。 一项全国性研究的证据可以用来支持社会和 立法努力控制酒精对健康的影响 孩子们。

The purpose of the project is to assess the evidence for an association between parental alcohol use and children's injuries in two representative samples of U.S. children using data from the 1985 and 1988 National Health Interview Surveys. We also aim to assess social, psychological and life style characteristics which may constitute mechanisms linking alcohol use to children's injuries. Alcohol use is associated with motor vehicle injuries, burns, and drownings in the person sustaining the injury. While it seems likely that children in the care of intoxicated adults are at higher risk of injury than others, evidence for the relationship between parental use of alcohol and children's injuries is seriously lacking. The 1985 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) included a supplement on Health Promotion and Disease Prevention which contained items on alcohol behavior, use and knowledge of injury preventing strategies. The 1988 NHIS included a supplement with extensive information on adult alcohol use and a child health supplement with detailed data on children's injuries. In the first year of the project, assessments will be made of the association between parental alcohol use from the 1985 Supplement and injuries reported in the two week period preceding the interview. In the second year, replication of the findings from the first study will be attempted using the 1988 data, and will be extended to focus of severity and circumstances of injuries reported in the two-week period and in the year preceding the interview. We hypothesize that: 1) there will be a dose-response relationship between children's injuries and the intensity of parental alcohol use; 2) indicators of impaired family functioning will mediate the relationship between alcohol injuries, but that parental use of alcohol will also have a direct effect on children's injuries; 3) health promoting behaviors and use of injury control strategies will mediate the association between alcohol and children's injuries, but that parental use of alcohol will also have a direct effect on children's injuries; 4) problem behavior in the children of alcohol users will mediate the association, but that parental use of alcohol will also have a direct effect on children's injuries. Multiple regression and logistic regression will be used to test these hypotheses. Evidence from a national study can be used to support social and legislative efforts to control the impact of alcohol on the health of children.
