It is important to review trends in youth alcohol use over time in order to effectively tailor prevention programs to address those trends. This article reviews data on alcohol use behaviors from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Youth Risk Behavior Survey in Hawai'i from 1993 to 2007. Five alcohol use indicators were examined and stratified by grade level, from 9th grade through 12th grade. Significant drops in nearly all indicators are seen among 9th through 11th graders, but not among 12th graders. This suggests that Hawaii youth are responding well to anti-alcohol messaging as young teens, but a different approach may be needed to target older teens.
为了有效地调整预防计划以应对这些趋势,回顾青少年饮酒行为随时间的变化趋势非常重要。本文回顾了1993年至2007年夏威夷疾病控制与预防中心青少年风险行为调查中关于饮酒行为的数据。研究了五个饮酒指标,并按年级(从九年级到十二年级)进行了分层。在九年级至十一年级学生中,几乎所有指标都有显著下降,但十二年级学生中没有。这表明夏威夷的青少年在十几岁时对反酒精信息反应良好,但可能需要采取不同的方法来针对年龄较大的青少年。
