This study examined processes linking economic stressors, somatic complaints, and two alcohol-related outcomes (past-month drinking and problematic drinking). Structural equation models of data from a national survey revealed that somatic complaints partly explain the association between economic stressors and problematic drinking. The associations of both economic stressors and somatic complaints with problematic drinking were significantly greater for men than women. However, the association between economic stressors and somatic complaints was greater for women. These findings clarify the circumstances in which gender matters most for the associations among economy-related stressors, somatic complaints, and drinking. They highlight the significance of difficult economic circumstances for physical health and, in turn, problematic drinking-particularly among men.
本研究考察了经济压力源、躯体不适与两种酒精相关结果(过去一个月饮酒情况和问题饮酒)之间的关联过程。一项全国性调查数据的结构方程模型显示,躯体不适在一定程度上解释了经济压力源与问题饮酒之间的关联。经济压力源和躯体不适与问题饮酒之间的关联在男性中显著大于女性。然而,经济压力源与躯体不适之间的关联在女性中更大。这些发现阐明了在与经济相关的压力源、躯体不适和饮酒之间的关联中,性别在何种情况下最为关键。它们凸显了艰难经济状况对身体健康进而对问题饮酒的重要性,尤其是在男性中。
