The aim of the study was to assess sociodemographic, parental and peer predictors of self-reported drunkenness in mid-adolescence.
The data were obtained from a national school survey covering a random half of all Icelandic 9th and 10th grade students (mean age 14.7 years). The overall response rate was 92% (n = 3,913).
30% of the respondents reported having been drunk or intoxicated at least once during the 30-day period prior to the survey. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that living with a single father, or in an urban area; having friends who get drunk or accept drunkenness; being supported by friends; having a father who gets drunk; having parents who assent to drunkenness; and lacking support from parents, were significantly associated with drunkenness. The strongest predictors of drunkenness were drunkenness among friends and friends' acceptance of drinking. The study did not find significant differences in the odds of drunkenness by gender or parental education. Students in 10th grade had higher odds of drunkeness than 9th grade students, which was accounted for by different family and peer contexts of younger and older adolescents.
Residence, family structure, high peer support, peer acceptance, peer drunkenness, parental acceptance, father drunkenness, and low parental support was related to higher odds of drunkenness in mid-adolescents. The results give directions to future research and interventions intended to prevent alcohol abuse in this population.
本研究旨在评估青少年中期自我报告醉酒的社会人口学、父母和同伴预测因素。
数据来自一项涵盖冰岛所有 9 年级和 10 年级学生（平均年龄 14.7 岁）的随机一半的全国性学校调查。总体回应率为 92%（n=3913）。
30%的受访者报告在调查前 30 天内至少有一次醉酒或醉酒。多变量逻辑回归分析表明，与单身父亲或居住在城市地区；有喝醉或接受醉酒的朋友；得到朋友的支持；父亲醉酒；父母同意醉酒；以及缺乏父母的支持，与醉酒显著相关。醉酒的最强预测因素是朋友醉酒和朋友对饮酒的接受程度。该研究没有发现性别或父母教育对醉酒几率的显著差异。10 年级学生醉酒的几率高于 9 年级学生，这是由于年轻和年长青少年的家庭和同伴环境不同。
居住地、家庭结构、高同伴支持、同伴接受、同伴醉酒、父母接受、父亲醉酒和低父母支持与青少年中期醉酒几率较高有关。研究结果为未来旨在预防该人群酗酒的研究和干预指明了方向。
