To assess the impact of gender-tailored alcohol screening criteria.
Among N = 1,349 women, we calculated the proportion screening positive for unhealthy alcohol use with non-tailored versus gender-tailored criteria (a gender-tailored binge-drinking item, lower screen-positive threshold, or both).
Three percent more women screened positive with a modified binge-drinking question, most reporting risky drinking. Fifteen percent more women screened positive with a lower threshold; most did not report risky drinking.
Gender-tailored binge-drinking questions may improve detection of women's unhealthy alcohol use.
These results can inform future efforts to improve alcohol screening for women. (Am J Addict 2018;27:97-100).
评估针对性别调整的酒精筛查标准的影响。
在 N=1349 名女性中,我们计算了使用非针对性别调整的标准与针对性别调整的标准(一个针对性别调整的狂饮项目、更低的筛查阳性阈值或两者兼有)筛查出有不健康饮酒行为的女性的比例。
使用修改后的狂饮问题,更多的女性筛查出阳性,其中大多数报告存在危险饮酒行为。使用更低的阈值,有 15%的女性筛查出阳性,其中大多数人没有报告危险饮酒行为。
针对性别调整的狂饮问题可能会提高对女性不健康饮酒行为的检测。
这些结果可为未来提高女性酒精筛查工作提供信息。(《美国药物滥用杂志》2018;27:97-100)
