Monitoring trends in adolescent alcohol use over time is important for planning, allocation of resources, and evaluation of alcohol prevention and treatment programs. This article is an update of previously reported trends in adolescent alcohol use in the State of Hawai'i utilizing data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Youth Risk Behavior Survey. Five alcohol use indicators were investigated between 2005 and 2011 including lifetime use, onset age, current use, binge drinking, and drinking on school property. Youth in Hawai'i generally reported worse alcohol behaviors in 2009 compared to 2007 but better alcohol use behaviors were observed in 2011 compared to 2009. This trend was not observed on the national level and thus may represent changes unique to Hawai'i. These apparent changes in alcohol use among adolescents highlight the need for resources and for continued surveillance.
长期监测青少年饮酒趋势对于规划、资源分配以及评估酒精预防和治疗项目至关重要。本文利用疾病控制与预防中心青少年风险行为调查的数据,更新了之前所报道的夏威夷州青少年饮酒趋势。对2005年至2011年间的五项饮酒指标进行了调查,包括终生饮酒情况、开始饮酒年龄、当前饮酒情况、暴饮以及在校园内饮酒。与2007年相比,夏威夷州的青少年在2009年普遍报告了更糟的饮酒行为,但与2009年相比,2011年观察到更好的饮酒行为。这种趋势在全国层面并未观察到,因此可能代表了夏威夷州独有的变化。青少年饮酒方面这些明显的变化凸显了资源需求以及持续监测的必要性。
