Abstract

Retrospective studies have identified alcohol as a significant risk factor in drownings involving young adults. Few studies have explored this issue, therefore the current contextual understanding of alcohol consumption in aquatic settings is limited. This study used a survey (n = 182) and one-to-one and small group interviews (n = 23) to investigate knowledge and attitudes of United Kingdom and Australian young adults (aged 18–24 years) towards involvement in aquatic activity after consuming alcohol. Findings illustrated a poor level of general and aquatic-specific alcohol knowledge. Australian educated participants, and those self-reporting: stronger swimming competence; and/or completion of alcohol and water safety education; and/or participation in aquatic activity following alcohol consumption, achieved significantly higher knowledge scores. Most reported a neutral attitude, and those with previous experience of alcohol consumption in aquatic settings had more accepting attitudes of this behavior (p < 0.001). The aquatic activity, context and amount of alcohol consumed influenced attitudes. Participants reported a lack of alcohol-focused drowning prevention or water safety education for their age group, and many referred to their upbringing and parents’ behaviors as reference for what was safe. Drowning prevention practitioners should consider these results to ensure young adults understand the risks of consuming alcohol in all aquatic contexts.

水生环境中的酒精消费:一项探索年轻人态度和知识的混合方法研究

摘要

回顾性研究发现,酒精是年轻人溺水的重要危险因素。很少有研究探讨这个问题,因此目前对水生环境中饮酒的上下文理解是有限的。本研究使用了一项调查 ( n  = 182) 和一对一和小组访谈(n= 23) 调查英国和澳大利亚年轻人(18-24 岁)对饮酒后参与水上活动的知识和态度。调查结果表明一般和水生特定酒精知识水平低下。受过澳大利亚教育的参与者,以及那些自我报告的人:更强的游泳能力;和/或完成酒精和水安全教育;和/或在饮酒后参与水上活动,获得了显着更高的知识分数。大多数报告的态度是中性的,那些以前在水生环境中饮酒的人对这种行为的接受态度更高(p < 0.001)。水上活动、环境和饮酒量影响了态度。参与者报告说,他们的年龄组缺乏以酒精为重点的溺水预防或水上安全教育,许多人将他们的教养和父母的行为作为安全的参考。溺水预防从业人员应考虑这些结果,以确保年轻人了解在所有水生环境中饮酒的风险。
