Different patterns of heavy drinking occur by country and proximity to the U.S. Mexico border. Few studies describe the impact of violence on drinking between countries and along the border.
Survey data is from U.S. Mexican origin adults living in Texas and Mexican border and non-border cities, N=4,796. Participants were asked about alcohol consumption, interpersonal physical violence (IPV) and exposure to community violence. Monthly hazardous drinking (5+/4+ for men/women) was the primary outcome. Multivariate logistic regression model comparisons identified best predictors.
In the U.S. hazardous drinking was associated with past year IPV (OR=2.5; 1.8-3.5) and community violence (OR=1.4; 1.1-1.8). In Mexico, IPV (OR=3.9; 2.0-7.4) and border proximity (OR=0.5; 0.4-0.8) were associated with hazardous drinking but not community violence.
Hazardous drinking is associated with IPV in both countries, but violence did not explain border hazardous drinking differences where they existed in Mexico.
不同国家以及与美国墨西哥边境的距离会出现不同的酗酒模式。很少有研究描述暴力对国家间及边境地区饮酒行为的影响。
调查数据来自居住在得克萨斯州、墨西哥边境城市和非边境城市的墨西哥裔美国成年人，样本量N = 4796。参与者被问及酒精消费、人际身体暴力（IPV）和社区暴力暴露情况。每月危险饮酒（男性5杯以上/女性4杯以上）是主要结果。多变量逻辑回归模型比较确定了最佳预测因素。
在美国，危险饮酒与过去一年的人际身体暴力（比值比=2.5；1.8 - 3.5）和社区暴力（比值比=1.4；1.1 - 1.8）相关。在墨西哥，人际身体暴力（比值比=3.9；2.0 - 7.4）和靠近边境（比值比=0.5；0.4 - 0.8）与危险饮酒相关，但与社区暴力无关。
在两个国家，危险饮酒均与人际身体暴力相关，但在墨西哥存在边境危险饮酒差异的地方，暴力并不能解释这种差异。
