To assess whether the density of alcohol sales outlets in specific geographic communities is associated with adolescent alcohol consumption.
A cross-sectional representative sample of secondary school students from Victoria, Australia (N=10,143), aged between 12 and 17 years, self-reported on alcohol use in the last 30 days in 2009. The density of alcohol outlets per local community area was merged with this information.
After controlling for risk factors, multilevel modelling (MLM) revealed a statistical interaction between age and density on alcohol consumption. While older adolescents had higher alcohol consumption, increases in the density of alcohol outlets were only significantly associated with increased risk of alcohol consumption for adolescents between the ages of 12 and 14.
Increased alcohol availability was associated with an increased risk of alcohol consumption specifically for early adolescents (12 and 14 years). Potential mechanisms as to how density is associated with direct and indirect alcohol availability, such as through parents or older siblings, need to be explored in future research.
评估特定地理社区中酒精销售点的密度是否与青少年饮酒有关。
对澳大利亚维多利亚州的中学生进行了一项横断面代表性抽样调查（N=10143），年龄在 12 至 17 岁之间，2009 年自我报告了过去 30 天的饮酒情况。将每个社区区域的酒精销售点密度与这些信息合并。
在控制了风险因素后，多层次模型（MLM）显示，年龄和密度之间的交互作用对饮酒有统计学意义。虽然年龄较大的青少年饮酒量较高，但只有在 12 至 14 岁的青少年中，酒精销售点密度的增加才与饮酒风险的增加显著相关。
酒精供应的增加与青少年（12 岁和 14 岁）饮酒风险的增加有关。未来的研究需要探索密度与直接和间接酒精供应（如通过父母或年龄较大的兄弟姐妹）之间的关联的潜在机制。
