Despite the centrality of dating relationships for teens, it is unclear whether the influence of romantic partners’ alcohol use on adolescents’ under-age drinking is distinct from the influence of peers and parents. To address this gap, this study used longitudinal data from a population-based sample of 825 adolescents (49% male, 51% female), ages 12 to 19. Adolescents completed a survey using laptops for privacy, and a parent completed a survey separately. Ordinary least squares and logistic regression models assessed alcohol use frequency and alcohol problems and included dating partners’ drinking, adolescents’ prior drinking, peers’ drinking, parents’ substance use, parental monitoring, and sociodemographic background characteristics. Alcohol use frequency and alcohol problems were influenced by dating partners’ alcohol use and dating partners’ influence was stronger on older adolescents and male adolescents. The study results are useful for public health messaging and prevention efforts by demonstrating the influence of parents, peers, and dating partners on teens’ alcohol use.

尽管约会关系对青少年来说至关重要，但目前尚不清楚浪漫伴侣饮酒对青少年未成年饮酒的影响是否与同龄人和父母的影响不同。为了解决这一差距，本研究使用了 825 名 12 至 19 岁青少年（49% 男性，51% 女性）的人口样本的纵向数据。出于隐私考虑，青少年使用笔记本电脑完成了一项调查，家长单独完成了一项调查。普通最小二乘法和逻辑回归模型评估了饮酒频率和酒精问题，包括约会伴侣的饮酒情况、青少年之前的饮酒情况、同龄人的饮酒情况、父母的药物使用情况、父母的监测和社会人口背景特征。饮酒频率和酒精问题受到约会伙伴饮酒情况的影响，约会伙伴对年龄较大的青少年和男性青少年的影响更大。该研究结果证明了父母、同龄人和约会对象对青少年饮酒的影响，对于公共卫生信息传递和预防工作很有用。
