The primary aim is to estimate the prevalence of Swedish adolescents who perceive their parent(s) to have alcohol problems. Additional research questions pertain to the prevalence of adolescents who think someone close to them drinks too much alcohol and if this has hurt them or caused them problems.
A cross-sectional design was employed using a web-based survey targeted to 1000 Swedish 16-19-year-olds randomly selected from a web panel. The questionnaire included the CAST-6 scale, used to assess whether or not participants perceived their parents' alcohol consumption as problematic, and questions relating to whether or not they think someone close to them drinks too much and if this has caused them problems. Data was weighted using a post-stratification procedure.
The proportion of adolescents classified as having parents with alcohol problems was 20.1%. Further, 44.0% reported that they think someone close to them drinks too much alcohol and 9.6% that this has hurt them or caused them problems.
These results indicate that the problem is widespread. Our findings are similar to previous research where a more indirect methodology has been adopted, using either psychiatric interviews or self-reported alcohol consumption of adults, to estimate the magnitude of the problem.
本研究旨在估计瑞典青少年认为其父母存在酒精问题的比例。此外，研究还涉及认为身边有人饮酒过量且对其造成伤害或问题的青少年的比例。
采用横断面设计，对 1000 名随机抽取的 16-19 岁瑞典青少年进行了一项基于网络的调查。调查问卷包括 CAST-6 量表，用于评估参与者是否认为父母的饮酒量存在问题，以及是否认为身边有人饮酒过量且对其造成伤害或问题。数据使用后分层法进行加权处理。
被归类为父母存在酒精问题的青少年比例为 20.1%。此外，44.0%的青少年报告称，他们认为身边有人饮酒过量，9.6%的青少年表示这对他们造成了伤害或问题。
这些结果表明该问题较为普遍。我们的研究结果与以往采用更间接方法的研究相似，这些研究使用精神科访谈或成年人自我报告的饮酒量来估计该问题的严重程度。
