疫情前后:阿根廷的酒精消费及相关问题
新冠肺炎大流行和隔离措施对拉丁美洲国家饮酒的影响仍然未知。本文描述了不同性别、年龄组、收入水平和获取酒精饮料行为的阿根廷人在疫情前和疫情期间饮酒量和相关问题的差异。通过一项在线调查,1446名参与者在该国出现首例病例和随后的封锁措施三个月前和三个月后,就四个饮酒维度(频率、数量、严重偶发性饮酒HED和酒精相关问题)进行了评估。总体而言,参与者报告了日常消费的小幅减少,HED和相关问题的适度减少。正如预期的那样,未成年人(14至18岁)和年轻人(19至24岁)的死亡率都很高。那些在疫情后收入增加的人没有报告消费变化,而那些收入保持不变或降低的人报告消费减少。那些没有报告获得酒精的特殊行为(如预储存)的人与报告的人相比,饮酒量有所下降。这项研究为环境因素对公共健康的影响提供了新的证据,表明限制饮酒会显著减少饮酒和相关问题。©2021,美国心理学学会。保留所有权利。
