There is a lack of research, internationally and in New Zealand, on the harms experienced as a result of drinking by others. Such effects have often been neglected in policy development and in estimates of the economic burden associated with alcohol consumption. This study describes the broad range of harms reported by New Zealanders due to the drinking of someone else.
A representative national survey was conducted using Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing with New Zealanders aged 12 to 80 years (N=3068) in 2008/2009 (response rate - 64%). Harms experienced due to the drinking of others were reported along with demographic variables.
One in four respondents indicated that they had at least one heavy drinker in their life. Most of these respondents indicated they had experienced a range of harms because of this person's drinking. Further, 17% of respondents with children reported that their children experienced harm because of the drinking of someone else. Seventy-one percent of those sampled reported experiencing at least one harm because of the drinking of a stranger.
A large proportion of New Zealanders report the experience of physical, social, economic, and psychological harms because of the drinking of others. These harms should be considered in the discussion of alcohol policy.
在国际上以及新西兰，关于他人饮酒所造成危害的研究都很匮乏。在政策制定以及与酒精消费相关的经济负担评估中，这些影响常常被忽视。本研究描述了新西兰人报告的因他人饮酒而产生的广泛危害。
2008/2009年，采用计算机辅助电话访谈对12至80岁的新西兰人（N = 3068）进行了一项具有代表性的全国性调查（回复率 - 64%）。报告了因他人饮酒而遭受的危害以及人口统计学变量。
四分之一的受访者表示他们一生中至少有一个酗酒者。这些受访者中的大多数表示，由于此人饮酒，他们经历了一系列危害。此外，有孩子的受访者中有17%报告称他们的孩子因他人饮酒而受到伤害。71%的抽样受访者报告称，因陌生人饮酒而至少经历了一种危害。
很大一部分新西兰人报告称，因他人饮酒而遭受了身体、社会、经济和心理上的伤害。在讨论酒精政策时应考虑这些危害。
