Abstract

Introduction: Previous studies in Izhevsk, Novosibirsk, and Kazan have found that non-beverage alcohol is a large part of alcohol consumption in Russia. Whereas those places are relatively high-income cities, there are no studies about such a problem in low-income regions of Russia. The aim of this study is to investigate correlates and factors associated with non-beverage alcohol consumption in eastern regions of Russia, e.g. the Jewish Autonomous Oblast and to assess effectiveness of implementing Russian policies to restrict consumption of non-beverage alcohol.

Materials and methods: A survey of adults in the Jewish Autonomous Oblast of Russia was performed on workdays to assess non-beverage drinking patterns in summer 2022. The questionnaire included questions about socio-demographic status and alcohol use, including non-beverage alcohol consumption and drinking patterns. We use logistic regression to identify risk factors of consuming non-beverages.

Results: First, ~30% of individuals suffering from alcohol problems drink non-beverage alcohol. Second, those who regularly consume non-beverage alcohol compared with those who chronically drink legal strong alcohol are on average more likely to experience the negative effects of alcohol consumption. Third, income and marriage are the main factors negatively associated with surrogate alcohol consumption. Besides, age shows a curvilinear relationship with that.

Conclusions: We suggest that a modified anti-surrogate policy to increase the minimum price of pharmacy alcohol and to enforce restrictions on the sale of non-beverage alcohol is needed in Russia. Such measures could prevent an increase in non-beverage alcohol consumption in Russia against the backdrop of declining real incomes of the population.

俄罗斯的非饮料酒消费:犹太自治州的新证据。
导言:此前在伊热夫斯克、新西伯利亚和喀山进行的研究发现,在俄罗斯,非饮料酒在酒类消费中占很大比重。这些地方都是收入相对较高的城市,但在俄罗斯低收入地区却没有关于这一问题的研究。本研究旨在调查俄罗斯东部地区(如犹太自治州)非饮料酒消费的相关性和因素,并评估俄罗斯限制非饮料酒消费政策的实施效果:在工作日对俄罗斯犹太自治州的成年人进行了一次调查,以评估 2022 年夏季非饮料饮酒模式。调查问卷包括有关社会人口状况和饮酒情况的问题,其中包括非饮料饮酒量和饮酒模式。我们使用逻辑回归法来确定饮用非饮料的风险因素:首先,约 30% 的酒精问题患者饮用非饮料酒。其次,与长期饮用合法烈性酒的人相比,经常饮用非饮料酒的人平均更容易受到饮酒的负面影响。第三,收入和婚姻是与代用酒精消费负相关的主要因素。此外,年龄与代饮酒量呈曲线关系:我们认为,俄罗斯需要修改反代用酒政策,提高药酒的最低价格,并对非饮料酒的销售实施限制。在居民实际收入下降的背景下,这些措施可以防止俄罗斯非饮料酒消费的增加。

期刊介绍: About the Journal Alcohol and Alcoholism publishes papers on the biomedical, psychological, and sociological aspects of alcoholism and alcohol research, provided that they make a new and significant contribution to knowledge in the field. Papers include new results obtained experimentally, descriptions of new experimental (including clinical) methods of importance to the field of alcohol research and treatment, or new interpretations of existing results. Theoretical contributions are considered equally with papers dealing with experimental work provided that such theoretical contributions are not of a largely speculative or philosophical nature.
