Cross-sectional.
The purpose of this study is to assess risk factors, including personality and socioeconomic indicators, with alcohol use among persons with spinal cord injury (SCI).
A large rehabilitation hospital in the Southeastern United States.
A total of 1549 participants responded to a survey on outcomes after SCI. We used polychotomous logistic regression to assess the relationships of personality and socioeconomic factors with alcohol use.
In this study population, 19.3% were heavy drinkers, 29.4% moderate and 51.7% abstinent. Annual household income and education were both associated with heavy alcohol use, with persons with higher income or education more likely to be heavy drinkers. Impulsive sensation seeking, neuroticism-anxiety and aggression-hostility were associated with increased odds of heavy drinking.
This study adds to the body of evidence indicating a substantial portion of individuals with SCI are heavy drinkers, and that personality and socioeconomic status are associated with heavy drinking.
横断面研究。
本研究旨在评估风险因素,包括人格和社会经济指标,与脊髓损伤(SCI)患者的饮酒行为之间的关系。
美国东南部的一家大型康复医院。
共有 1549 名参与者对 SCI 后的结果进行了调查。我们使用多项逻辑回归来评估人格和社会经济因素与饮酒行为的关系。
在本研究人群中,19.3%为重度饮酒者,29.4%为中度饮酒者,51.7%为不饮酒者。家庭年收入和教育程度均与重度饮酒有关,收入较高或教育程度较高的人更有可能成为重度饮酒者。冲动寻求刺激、神经质-焦虑和攻击性-敌意与重度饮酒的可能性增加有关。
本研究进一步证实了大量 SCI 患者是重度饮酒者,并且人格和社会经济地位与重度饮酒有关。
