Military personnel engage in unhealthy alcohol use at rates higher than their same age, civilian peers, resulting in negative consequences for the individual and jeopardized force readiness for the armed services. Among those returning from combat deployment, unhealthy drinking may be exacerbated by acute stress reactions and injury, including traumatic brain injury (TBI). Combat-acquired TBI is common among personnel in the current conflicts. Although research suggests that impairments due to TBI leads to an increased risk for unhealthy drinking and consequences among civilians, there has been little research to examine whether TBI influences drinking behaviors among military personnel. This article examines TBI and drinking in both civilian and military populations and discusses implications for clinical care and policy.
军事人员不健康饮酒的比例高于同龄平民，这给个人带来了负面后果，并危及军队的战斗力。在从战斗部署中返回的人员中，急性应激反应和伤病（包括创伤性脑损伤，TBI）可能会加剧不健康饮酒的情况。在当前冲突中，战斗所致的TBI在军事人员中很常见。尽管研究表明，平民中TBI导致的损伤会增加不健康饮酒的风险及后果，但几乎没有研究探讨TBI是否会影响军事人员的饮酒行为。本文研究了平民和军事人员中的TBI与饮酒情况，并讨论了对临床护理和政策的影响。
