Groups of high-risk (alcoholic fathers), middle-risk (second-degree alcoholic relatives) and low-risk (no first- or second-degree alcoholic relatives) male college students were compared with respect to drinking behavior, sociodemographic variables, personality, cognitive functioning, and mental health and drug use problems in themselves and in family members. The groups differed significantly on only one of a number of sociodemographic variables. No significant group differences were revealed in drinking behavior, or alcohol-related symptoms or consequences. High-risk subjects reported significantly more childhood attentional and social problems than did low-risk subjects. No group differences were found with respect to other childhood problem behaviors, cognitive functioning, subject or family drug use, or mental health problems. The findings are discussed in terms of the questions they raise concerning the results of high-risk studies and the contribution of genetic factors to alcoholism.
对高风险组（父亲酗酒）、中风险组（二级亲属酗酒）和低风险组（无一级或二级亲属酗酒）的男性大学生在饮酒行为、社会人口统计学变量、人格、认知功能、自身及家庭成员的心理健康和药物使用问题方面进行了比较。这些组在众多社会人口统计学变量中仅在一个变量上存在显著差异。在饮酒行为、与酒精相关的症状或后果方面未发现显著的组间差异。高风险组受试者报告的童年注意力和社交问题比低风险组受试者显著更多。在其他童年问题行为、认知功能、受试者或家庭药物使用或心理健康问题方面未发现组间差异。根据这些发现所引发的关于高风险研究结果以及遗传因素对酗酒的影响的问题进行了讨论。
