In Great Britain and in Denmark, strong efforts have been made to influence knowledge on the upper threshold of hazardous drinking. In Denmark, a campaign has been repeated every week 40 from 1990 to 2001 with information on the sensible drinking limits of 21 drinks per week for men and 14 drinks per week for women. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of this ongoing campaign on the level of knowledge of sensible drinking limits for men and women.
Every year from 1994 to 1999, random representative samples of 1,030 adult Danes were interviewed on the telephone.
Our main finding was that the level of knowledge of sensible drinking limits for own sex increased in all subsets of the population throughout the period. However, at the end of the study period (1999), a total of 80% of highly educated young (18-25 years of age) men knew sensible drinking limits for own sex, while only 35% of uneducated older (more than 65 years old) men had knowledge on sensible drinking limits. The proportions were similar among women: Subjects admitting an intake higher than sensible for own sex, i.e. 21 and 14 drinks per week, respectively, had the highest knowledge of these drinking limits.
We conclude that public health campaigns, such as the sensible drinking limit campaign, certainly has an impact on the level of awareness in the general population. Furthermore, those drinking more than 21 and 14 drinks per week, respectively, are reached by these campaigns.
在英国和丹麦，人们已做出巨大努力来影响关于有害饮酒上限的认知。在丹麦，从1990年到2001年每周都会开展一次活动，提供关于合理饮酒限量的信息，即男性每周21单位酒精饮品，女性每周14单位酒精饮品。本研究的目的是检验这一持续开展的活动对男性和女性合理饮酒限量知识水平的影响。
从1994年到1999年，每年通过电话对1030名丹麦成年人进行随机抽样访谈。
我们的主要发现是，在整个研究期间，所有人群子集中关于自身性别合理饮酒限量的知识水平都有所提高。然而，在研究期结束时（1999年），共有80%受过高等教育的年轻（18 - 25岁）男性知道自身性别的合理饮酒限量，而只有35%未受过教育的年长（65岁以上）男性了解合理饮酒限量。女性中的比例情况类似：承认饮酒量高于自身性别合理饮酒量（即分别为每周21和14单位酒精饮品）的受试者对这些饮酒限量的了解程度最高。
我们得出结论，诸如合理饮酒限量活动这样的公共卫生活动确实对普通人群的认知水平有影响。此外，这些活动能够覆盖那些每周饮酒量分别超过21和14单位酒精饮品的人群。
