To investigate the prevalence of alcohol abuse in modern China and to explore the risk factors that may be associated with alcohol abuse.
A face-to-face interview was carried out in a random sample with 2327 respondents.
Respondents were selected randomly from Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China, between May and June 2002. Participants Fifteen-65-year-old urban Chinese adults.
Scores for alcohol abuse and related risk factors were the main measures.
(1) Nearly 15% of urban Chinese adults aged 15-65 were alcohol abusers. (2) Deviant drinking habits of mother, schoolmates, colleagues or friends all had a negative impact on the respondent's alcohol drinking behaviours, and higher economic status, current smokers, being male and being older were identified as risk factors related to alcohol abuse. In particular, if a drinker's mother used alcohol frequently then this drinker was more likely to become an alcohol abuser than those drinkers whose mothers did not use alcohol frequently (P = 0.0001). Fathers' drinking behaviours do not have a significant impact on the alcohol abusers.
In addition to common risk factors such as economic status, deviant peers' and fellows' drinking behaviours and negative attitudes to alcohol drinking, maternal alcohol drinking habit influenced significantly the offspring's drinking habits. Therefore, efficient intervention and education of healthy drinking habits in early motherhood is necessary for Chinese women.
调查当代中国酒精滥用的患病率，并探究可能与酒精滥用相关的风险因素。
对2327名受访者进行随机抽样的面对面访谈。
2002年5月至6月间，从中国湖北省武汉市随机选取受访者。参与者为15至65岁的中国城市成年人。
酒精滥用及相关风险因素的得分是主要测量指标。
（1）15至65岁的中国城市成年人中，近15%为酒精滥用者。（2）母亲、同学、同事或朋友的异常饮酒习惯均对受访者的饮酒行为产生负面影响，较高的经济地位、当前吸烟者、男性以及年龄较大被确定为与酒精滥用相关的风险因素。特别是，如果饮酒者的母亲经常饮酒，那么该饮酒者比母亲不经常饮酒的饮酒者更有可能成为酒精滥用者（P = 0.0001）。父亲的饮酒行为对酒精滥用者没有显著影响。
除了经济地位、异常同龄人及同伴的饮酒行为以及对饮酒的消极态度等常见风险因素外，母亲的饮酒习惯对后代的饮酒习惯有显著影响。因此，对中国女性在孕早期进行有效的健康饮酒习惯干预和教育是必要的。
