BACKGROUND/AIMS: We address three research questions pertaining to Swedish restaurant workers: (i) What is the prevalence of hazardous drinking? (ii) How is the consumption of alcohol distributed? (iii) Does the prevention paradox apply?
Data were collected by administering the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) among restaurant workers who attended a 2-day Responsible Beverage Service training in Stockholm during the period from October 2008 to December 2009. The control group comprised a sample representative of the general Swedish population. We restricted the analyses to the age span 18-59 years, which yielded a sample size of 579 for restaurant workers and 434 for the general population.
The prevalence of hazardous drinking as measured by AUDIT (8+ for men and 6+ for women) was markedly higher among restaurant workers than in the general population. The difference was especially pronounced among females below 30 years of age. We found no difference between restaurant workers and the general population in the distribution of alcohol consumption. About 76% of the drinking problems were found in the lower part of the consumption distribution (bottom 88%), which supports the prevention paradox.
Restaurant workers comprise a high-risk group with respect to drinking.
背景/目的：我们提出了与瑞典餐厅员工相关的三个研究问题：（i）危险饮酒的流行程度如何？（ii）酒精消费如何分布？（iii）是否存在预防悖论？
我们在 2008 年 10 月至 2009 年 12 月期间，对参加了为期两天的负责任饮料服务培训的餐厅员工进行了酒精使用障碍识别测试（AUDIT），以收集数据。对照组由瑞典普通人群的样本组成。我们将分析限制在 18-59 岁的年龄范围内，这使得餐厅员工的样本量为 579，普通人群的样本量为 434。
AUDIT（男性 8+，女性 6+）测量的危险饮酒患病率在餐厅员工中明显高于普通人群。这种差异在 30 岁以下的女性中尤为明显。我们没有发现餐厅员工和普通人群在酒精消费分布上的差异。大约 76%的饮酒问题出现在消费分布的较低部分（底部 88%），这支持了预防悖论。
餐厅员工是饮酒方面的高风险群体。
