This longitudinal epidemiologic study examined how levels of psychiatric distress over one year may be influenced by both concurrent levels of alcohol use and by prior drinking levels. The study's data were gathered during the 1981-1982 Eastern Baltimore Mental Health Survey (EBMHS), as part of the 5-site National Institute of Mental Health Epidemiologic Catchment Area (NIMH-ECA) Program. The 2091 respondents (18-64 years of age) reinterviewed after one year were initially selected by means of multistage probability sampling of adult household residents in eastern Baltimore, Maryland. The findings for men and women indicated that both high psychiatric distress at baseline interview and concurrent heavy alcohol use were associated with higher levels of psychiatric distress at one-year follow-up. Differences across population subgroups were also noted. Among women, the results further suggested that prior heavy alcohol use was an additional predictor of psychiatric distress levels after one year; this was not found for men.
这项纵向流行病学研究考察了一年内的精神痛苦水平如何受到同时期饮酒水平和既往饮酒水平的影响。该研究的数据收集于1981 - 1982年巴尔的摩东部心理健康调查（EBMHS），这是5个地点的国立精神卫生研究所流行病学集水区（NIMH - ECA）项目的一部分。一年后接受重新访谈的2091名受访者（年龄在18 - 64岁之间）最初是通过对马里兰州巴尔的摩东部成年家庭居民进行多阶段概率抽样选取的。男性和女性的研究结果表明，基线访谈时的高精神痛苦水平和同时期的大量饮酒都与一年随访时较高的精神痛苦水平相关。研究还发现了不同人群亚组之间的差异。在女性中，研究结果进一步表明，既往大量饮酒是一年后精神痛苦水平的另一个预测因素；而在男性中未发现这一情况。
