BACKGROUND
In 2003, Denmark lowered its tax on spirits, and in 2004, Sweden increased its traveller import quotas.
AIM
The aim of the study was to determine whether these two changes increased self-reported alcohol consumption in southern Sweden, which is located near Denmark.
METHOD
Data were collected through telephone interviews with the general population between 2003 and 2006. Individuals aged 16-80 years were interviewed. Some lived in southern Sweden, others in the northern region, which was assumed to be unaffected by the policy changes and was thus used as a control site. Analyses were performed for the total population as well as by sex, age, socio-economic group and consumption pattern.
RESULTS
The expected results were not found: alcohol consumption in southern Sweden had not changed. The few statistically significant changes found in southern Sweden indicated decreases. In the north, however, consumption seemed to have increased.
CONCLUSION
In addition to the two policy changes mentioned above, other changes seem to have affected alcohol consumption in Sweden. It is possible, however, that the policy changes have affected population groups not reached by the survey, and thus other types of data need to be analysed before drawing any far-reaching conclusions.
背景
2003 年，丹麦降低了烈酒税，2004 年，瑞典增加了旅行者的进口配额。
目的
本研究旨在确定这两个变化是否增加了位于丹麦附近的瑞典南部的自我报告饮酒量。
方法
通过电话采访在 2003 年至 2006 年间对普通人群进行了数据收集。受访者年龄在 16-80 岁之间。一些人居住在瑞典南部，另一些人居住在北部地区，据认为该地区不受政策变化的影响，因此被用作对照点。对总人口以及按性别、年龄、社会经济群体和消费模式进行了分析。
结果
没有发现预期的结果：瑞典南部的酒精消费没有变化。在南部发现的几个统计学上显著的变化表明有所减少。然而，在北部，消费似乎有所增加。
结论
除了上述两项政策变化外，其他变化似乎也影响了瑞典的酒精消费。然而，政策变化可能已经影响到了调查未涵盖的人群，因此需要分析其他类型的数据，才能得出任何深远的结论。
