Abstract

Epidemiologic studies have consistently found that use of alcohol is increasing among teenagers and that children who have their first drink before the age of ten years are at increased risk for alcohol use during adolescence. In this study, a questionnaire was completed by 351 children (185 boys and 166 girls) aged 7 to 11 years in eight different schools in the Lille area (northern France). Most respondents (70.8%) reported previous experience with alcoholic beverages. Regular use of alcohol was reported by 8.7% of respondents and at least one episode of acute over-drinking by 23.6%. Attitudes towards alcohol and reasons for alcohol use varied across age groups. Use of alcohol produced guilt in the youngest children but was viewed as normal in the older age groups. Although some awareness of alcohol-related hazards was found, misconceptions were common. Use of alcohol was related to age and awareness: among the younger children, the level of awareness was significantly higher in regular users than in non-users, whereas the opposite was true in the older respondents. A positive correlation was found between current alcohol use and the children's predictions of future use. These data highlight the value of epidemiologic surveys for developing strategies aimed at preventing alcohol use in youngsters.

孩子和酒精。[在学校环境中的研究]。
流行病学研究一致发现,青少年使用酒精的人数正在增加,10岁以前第一次饮酒的儿童在青春期使用酒精的风险更高。在这项研究中,351名7至11岁的儿童(185名男孩和166名女孩)在里尔地区(法国北部)的八所不同的学校完成了问卷调查。大多数答复者(70.8%)报告以前喝过含酒精饮料。8.7%的应答者报告经常饮酒,23.6%的应答者报告至少有一次急性过度饮酒。不同年龄组对酒精的态度和使用酒精的原因各不相同。在最小的孩子中使用酒精会产生负罪感,但在年龄较大的群体中则被视为正常现象。尽管人们对与酒精有关的危害有一定的认识,但普遍存在误解。酒精的使用与年龄和意识有关:在年龄较小的儿童中,经常使用酒精的儿童的意识水平明显高于不使用酒精的儿童,而年龄较大的答复者的情况则相反。研究发现,当前饮酒与儿童对未来饮酒的预测呈正相关。这些数据突出了流行病学调查对于制定旨在防止青少年饮酒的战略的价值。
