In this article, the authors explored associations of multiple domains with regular drinking and getting drunk among adult African American men. Questionnaire-based, computer-assisted interviews were conducted with 484 men in Atlanta, Georgia. Data analysis involved multivariate logistic regression analyses. Findings show that being older increased the odds of both drinking behaviors. Sensation seeking increased the odds of regular drinking, and having experienced childhood sexual and physical abuse increased the odds of getting drunk. Having health insurance reduced the odds of both outcomes. Insurance coverage and the heterogeneity among adult African American men must be considered in risk reduction efforts.
在本文中,作者探讨了多个领域与成年非裔美国男性经常饮酒和醉酒之间的关联。对佐治亚州亚特兰大的484名男性进行了基于问卷的计算机辅助访谈。数据分析采用多变量逻辑回归分析。研究结果表明,年龄较大增加了两种饮酒行为的几率。寻求刺激增加了经常饮酒的几率,而经历过童年性虐待和身体虐待则增加了醉酒的几率。拥有医疗保险降低了两种结果出现的几率。在降低风险的努力中,必须考虑保险覆盖范围以及成年非裔美国男性之间的异质性。
