The purpose of this study was to identify predictors of risky alcohol use and alcohol-related consequences among postdeployment soldiers. Demobilizing soldiers completed an assessment packet that included questions about demographic factors, relationships, stress, and alcohol-related consequences. Significant predictors of greater alcohol-related consequences, as assessed with the CAGE questionnaire, included fewer years of formal education, male gender, not being in an intimate relationship, racial/ethnic minority status, enlisted rank, having been deployed to the continental United States, and greater stress, whereas significant predictors of drinking and driving included male gender, not being in an intimate relationship, and greater stress. Identifying the predictors of alcohol consequences that occur upon demobilization may aid in determining which soldiers are at risk for such consequences before deployment and may help to maintain military readiness.
本研究的目的是确定复员后士兵中危险饮酒及与酒精相关后果的预测因素。复员士兵完成了一份评估问卷，其中包括有关人口统计学因素、人际关系、压力以及与酒精相关后果的问题。使用CAGE问卷评估，与更多酒精相关后果显著相关的预测因素包括受正规教育年限较少、男性、没有亲密关系、种族/族裔少数群体身份、入伍军衔、曾被部署到美国本土以及压力较大，而酒后驾车的显著预测因素包括男性、没有亲密关系以及压力较大。确定复员时出现的酒精相关后果的预测因素，可能有助于在部署前确定哪些士兵有此类后果的风险，并有助于保持军事准备状态。
