We investigated the extent of jello shot consumption among underage youths. We conducted a pilot study among a nonrandom national sample of 108 drinkers, aged 16-20 years, recruited from the Knowledge Networks Internet panel in 2010 by using consecutive sampling. The prevalence of past 30-day jello shot consumption among the 108 drinkers, aged 16-20 years, in our sample was 21.4%, and among those who consumed jello shots, the percentage of alcohol consumption attributable to jello shots averaged 14.5%. We concluded that jello shot use is prevalent among youths, representing a substantial proportion of their alcohol intake. Surveillance of youth alcohol use should include jello shot consumption.
我们调查了未成年青少年果冻酒的消费程度。我们在 2010 年通过连续抽样,从知识网络互联网小组中招募了一个非随机的全国样本,共 108 名年龄在 16-20 岁的饮酒者,进行了一项试点研究。在我们的样本中,年龄在 16-20 岁的 108 名饮酒者中,过去 30 天内食用果冻酒的流行率为 21.4%,而在食用果冻酒的人群中,果冻酒酒精摄入量平均占 14.5%。我们得出结论,果冻酒在青少年中很流行,占他们饮酒量的很大一部分。对青少年饮酒的监测应包括果冻酒的消费。
