We sought, for the first time, to identify the extent of jello shot consumption among underage youth. We conducted a study among a national sample of 1,031 youth, aged 13 to 20, using a pre-recruited internet panel maintained by GfK Knowledge Networks to assess past 30-day consumption of jello shots. Nearly one-fifth of underage youth have consumed jello shots in the past 30 days and jello shots make up an average of nearly 20% of their overall alcohol intake. Jello shot users in our sample were approximately 1.5 times more likely to binge drink, consumed approximately 1.6 times as many drinks per month, and were 1.7 times more likely to have been in a physical fight related to their alcohol use as drinkers in general. Ascertainment of jello shot use should become a standard part of youth alcohol surveillance and states should consider banning the sale of these products.
我们首次试图确定未成年青少年食用果冻酒的程度。我们对1031名年龄在13至20岁之间的全国性青年样本进行了一项研究，利用GfK知识网络维护的预先招募的互联网小组来评估过去30天内果冻酒的消费情况。近五分之一的未成年青少年在过去30天内食用过果冻酒，且果冻酒平均占他们总体酒精摄入量的近20%。我们样本中的果冻酒使用者暴饮的可能性大约是普通饮酒者的1.5倍，每月饮酒量大约是普通饮酒者的1.6倍，并且因饮酒而与人发生肢体冲突的可能性是普通饮酒者的1.7倍。确定果冻酒的使用情况应成为青少年酒精监测的标准组成部分，各州应考虑禁止销售这些产品。
