There has been little research examining the relative importance of the amount of substance consumed versus consequences of substance use in persons with eating disorders. The current study examined the status of both aspects of alcohol use in persons with problematic eating behavior.
Twenty-one women who reported purging on the National College Health Assessment were identified from a larger (N = 391) sample. A matched group was also created from the larger sample. These groups were compared on alcohol consumption and negative alcohol-related consequences.
Participants who purged reported both more frequent alcohol use and more negative consequences of alcohol use than the comparison group. Some of the negative consequences were severe.
The current study extends previous research on the association between eating disorders and alcohol use disorders. Because alcohol use and the negative consequences of alcohol use are not identical, they both should be assessed in persons with eating disorders.
关于饮食失调患者中物质摄入量与物质使用后果的相对重要性,此前鲜有研究。本研究调查了存在问题饮食行为的人群中酒精使用这两个方面的状况。
从一个更大的样本(N = 391)中识别出21名在《全国大学生健康评估》中报告有清除行为的女性。还从更大的样本中创建了一个匹配组。对这些组在酒精消费和与酒精相关的负面后果方面进行比较。
有清除行为的参与者报告饮酒频率更高,且与饮酒相关的负面后果比对照组更多。一些负面后果很严重。
本研究扩展了先前关于饮食失调与酒精使用障碍之间关联的研究。由于酒精使用和酒精使用的负面后果并不相同,因此在饮食失调患者中都应进行评估。
