Abstract

Background

The aim of this study was to examine how gender, age and education, regional prevalence of male and female risky drinking and country-level economic gender equality are associated with harms from other people’s drinking.

Methods

24,823 adults in 10 countries were surveyed about harms from drinking by people they know and strangers. Country-level economic gender equality and regional prevalence of risky drinking along with age and gender were entered as independent variables into three-level random intercept models predicting alcohol-related harm.

Findings

At the individual level, younger respondents were consistently more likely to report harms from others’ drinking, while, for women, higher education was associated with lower risk of harms from known drinkers but higher risk of harms from strangers. Regional rate of men’s risky drinking was associated with known and stranger harm, while regional-level women’s risky drinking was associated with harm from strangers. Gender equality was only associated with harms in models that did not include risky drinking.

Conclusions

Youth and regional levels of men’s drinking were consistently associated with harm from others attributable to alcohol. Policies that decrease the risky drinking of men would be likely to reduce harms attributable to the drinking of others.

以性别为重点的多层次分析，分析国家、地区和个人层面的因素如何与他人饮酒造成的伤害相关

摘要

背景

本研究的目的是研究性别、年龄和教育程度、男性和女性危险饮酒的地区流行率以及国家层面的经济性别平等如何与他人饮酒造成的危害相关联。

方法

对 10 个国家/地区的 24,823 名成年人进行了关于他们认识的人和陌生人饮酒的危害的调查。国家层面的经济性别平等和风险饮酒的区域流行以及年龄和性别被作为独立变量输入到预测酒精相关危害的三级随机截距模型中。

发现

在个人层面上，年轻的受访者始终更有可能报告他人饮酒造成的伤害，而对于女性而言，受过更高教育的人受到已知饮酒者伤害的风险较低，但受到陌生人伤害的风险较高。地区男性危险饮酒率与已知和陌生人的伤害有关，而地区女性危险饮酒率与陌生人造成的伤害有关。性别平等仅与不包括危险饮酒的模型中的危害相关。

结论

青年和地区男性饮酒水平始终与酒精对他人造成的伤害有关。减少男性危险饮酒的政策可能会减少他人饮酒造成的伤害。
