To measure levels of public support for price increases on beer and spirits in nine former Soviet Union countries and to examine the characteristics influencing such support.
Cross-sectional surveys were conducted in 2010 with 18,000 respondents aged 18+ in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia and Ukraine. Descriptive and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used.
The lowest level of support for price increases on beer were in Georgia (men 5%, women 9%) and Armenia (men 5%, women 11%); and the highest were in Kyrgyzstan (men 30%, women 38%), Azerbaijan (men 27%, women 37%) and Russia (men 23%, women 34%). The lowest levels of support for price increases on spirits were Armenia (men 8%, women 14%) and Georgia (men 14%, women 21%); and the highest were in Kyrgyzstan (men 38%, 47% women) and Moldova (men 36%, women 43%). Characteristics associated with supporting price increases included gender (women), higher education, good economic situation, lower alcohol consumption and greater knowledge of harmful alcohol behaviour.
Alcohol price increases are an effective means to reduce hazardous alcohol use. Despite opposition in some groups, there is evidence of public support for alcohol price increases in the study countries.
测量九个前苏联国家公众对啤酒和烈酒提价的支持程度，并研究影响这种支持的特征。
2010 年，在亚美尼亚、阿塞拜疆、白俄罗斯、格鲁吉亚、哈萨克斯坦、吉尔吉斯斯坦、摩尔多瓦、俄罗斯和乌克兰，对 18000 名 18 岁以上的受访者进行了横断面调查。采用描述性和多变量逻辑回归分析。
对啤酒提价支持率最低的国家是格鲁吉亚（男性 5%，女性 9%）和亚美尼亚（男性 5%，女性 11%）；支持率最高的国家是吉尔吉斯斯坦（男性 30%，女性 38%）、阿塞拜疆（男性 27%，女性 37%）和俄罗斯（男性 23%，女性 34%）。对烈酒提价支持率最低的国家是亚美尼亚（男性 8%，女性 14%）和格鲁吉亚（男性 14%，女性 21%）；支持率最高的国家是吉尔吉斯斯坦（男性 38%，女性 47%）和摩尔多瓦（男性 36%，女性 43%）。与支持提价相关的特征包括性别（女性）、高等教育、良好的经济状况、较低的酒精消费水平和对有害酒精行为的更多了解。
提高酒精价格是减少危险饮酒的有效手段。尽管在一些群体中存在反对意见，但研究国家有证据表明公众支持提高酒精价格。
