AIMS This paper aimed to explore perceptions of alcohol health warning labels amongst a large international sample of people who drink alcohol. METHODS The Global Drug Survey (GDS) is the world's largest annual cross sectional survey of drug use. Seven health warning labels were presented (relating to heart disease, liver, cancer, calories, violence, taking two days off and the myth of benefits to moderate drinking). People were asked if they were aware of the information, believed it, if it was personally relevant, and if it would change their drinking. This paper included data from 75,969 respondents from 29 countries/regions who reported the use of alcohol in the last 12 months, collected during November-December 2017 (GDS2018). RESULTS The fact that drinking less can reduce the risk of seven types of cancer was the least well known, and yet was demonstrated to encourage almost 40% of drinkers to consider drinking less. Women and high risk drinkers were more likely to indicate they would reduce their drinking in response to all labels. Personal relevance was identified as a key predictor of individual responses. CONCLUSION Findings highlight the potential of a range of health messages displayed on alcoholic beverages to raise awareness of alcohol-related harms and potentially support a reduction in drinking. Further research should explore what influences personal relevance of messages as this may be a barrier to effectiveness.

在一项大型国际性饮酒人群横断面调查中对酒精健康警告标签的认识。

目的本文旨在探讨国际上大量饮酒人群的饮酒健康警告标签观念。方法全球毒品调查（GDS）是全球最大的年度毒品使用横断面调查。提出了七个健康警告标签（涉及心脏病，肝脏，癌症，卡路里，暴力，请假两天以及适量饮酒的神话）。人们被问到是否知道该信息，相信该信息，该信息是否与个人相关以及是否会改变他们的饮酒。该论文包括了来自29个国家/地区的75969名受访者的数据，这些数据报告了过去12个月内饮酒的情况（2017年11月至12月）（GDS2018）。结果少喝酒可以减少七种癌症的风险这一事实是最鲜为人知的，但事实证明，该方法鼓励近40％的饮酒者考虑减少饮酒。女性和高危饮酒者更有可能表明他们将对所有标签做出反应来减少饮酒量。个人相关性被确定为个人反应的关键预测因子。结论研究结果强调了含酒精饮料上显示的一系列健康信息有可能提高人们对与酒精有关的危害的认识，并有可能支持减少饮酒。进一步的研究应探讨什么因素会影响信息的个人相关性，因为这可能是影响有效性的障碍。个人相关性被确定为个人反应的关键预测因子。结论研究结果强调了含酒精饮料上显示的一系列健康信息有可能提高人们对与酒精有关的危害的认识，并有可能支持减少饮酒。进一步的研究应探讨什么因素会影响信息的个人相关性，因为这可能是影响有效性的障碍。个人相关性被确定为个人反应的关键预测因子。结论研究结果强调了含酒精饮料上显示的一系列健康信息有可能提高人们对与酒精有关的危害的认识，并有可能支持减少饮酒。进一步的研究应探讨什么因素会影响信息的个人相关性，因为这可能是影响有效性的障碍。
