Abstract

To determine whether alcohol outlet density was correlated with heavy and frequent drinking and drinking-related problems, we compared ecological measures of outlet density with survey measures of drinking using a geographic information system and the Harvard School of Public Health College Alcohol Study (n=3,421, site n=8). We identified 966 outlets within 8 2-mile study areas. Densities/site ranged from 32 to 185. Density was correlated with heavy drinking (r=0.82, p=0.01), frequent drinking (r=0.73, p=0.04) and drinking-related problems (r=0.79, p=0.02). Women, underage students and students who picked up binge drinking in college were affected. Implications for prevention and research are discussed.

摘要

为了确定酒类销售点密度是否与大量频繁饮酒及与饮酒相关的问题存在关联，我们运用地理信息系统和哈佛公共卫生学院酒精研究（样本量n = 3421，研究地点n = 8），将销售点密度的生态测量值与饮酒的调查测量值进行了比较。我们在8个2英里的研究区域内识别出966个销售点。每个地点的密度范围为32至185。密度与大量饮酒（r = 0.82，p = 0.01）、频繁饮酒（r = 0.73，p = 0.04）以及与饮酒相关的问题（r = 0.79，p = 0.02）相关。女性、未成年学生以及在大学期间开始酗酒的学生受到了影响。文中还讨论了对预防和研究的启示。
