The purpose of this investigation was to identify determinants of alcohol consumption based on a number of demographic and psychosocial variables in a group of pregnant women at risk for alcohol consumption. Data were collected on a sample of 232 pregnant females who agreed to participant in a multistate alcohol prevention intervention. The variables of interest included demographic measures of race, age, education, marital status, health status, employment status and if they had been involved in physical abuse during the past year. Additionally, psychosocial variables were collected on social support, family functioning, mental health and illicit drug use. The dependent variables of interest were any alcohol use during the pregnancy and an abuse measure that was based on a composite score generated from questions related to problems associated with alcohol behavior. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to see if the independent variables (demographic and psychosocial variables) were predictive of any alcohol use. Multiple linear regressions were conducted to ascertain if the independent measures were predictive of alcohol abuse. The results showed that race, age, physical abuse and to a lesser extent health were associated to any alcohol use and alcohol abuse. The findings with the psychosocial variables were not as robust. Nevertheless, problematic psychiatric and drug use composite scores were associated with alcohol abuse.
本调查的目的是基于一些人口统计学和社会心理变量，确定一组有饮酒风险的孕妇饮酒的决定因素。对232名同意参与一项多州酒精预防干预措施的怀孕女性样本进行了数据收集。感兴趣的变量包括种族、年龄、教育程度、婚姻状况、健康状况、就业状况等人口统计学指标，以及她们在过去一年中是否遭受过身体虐待。此外，还收集了关于社会支持、家庭功能、心理健康和非法药物使用等社会心理变量。感兴趣的因变量是孕期的任何饮酒情况以及一种基于与酒精行为相关问题生成的综合评分的滥用衡量指标。进行逻辑回归分析以查看自变量（人口统计学和社会心理变量）是否能预测任何饮酒情况。进行多元线性回归以确定自变量是否能预测酒精滥用。结果表明，种族、年龄、身体虐待以及在较小程度上的健康状况与任何饮酒情况和酒精滥用有关。社会心理变量的研究结果并不那么显著。然而，有问题的精神疾病和药物使用综合评分与酒精滥用有关。
