Alcohol use in pregnancy is linked with various negative health effects on the infant. The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of maternal alcohol use during pregnancy and socio-demographic and health correlates.
Data of ever-pregnant women from the cross-sectional 'South African National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (SANHANES-1) 2011-2012' were analysed. The sample included 5089 adolescents and adult women aged 15-55 years. They responded to questions on alcohol use, socio-demographic and health indicators.
The results indicated that 3.7% (95.0% confidence interval [CI] = 3.1, 4.5) of South African women had engaged in alcohol use during their pregnancy. In adjusted analysis, being mixed race, not employed, poor self-rated health status, ever been diagnosed with tuberculosis and having partial post-traumatic stress disorder were found to be associated with alcohol use during pregnancy.
The study findings suggest links between socio-demographic and health variables and prenatal alcohol use, which may have public health policy implications.
孕期饮酒与婴儿的各种负面健康影响相关。本研究的目的是调查孕期母亲饮酒的患病率以及社会人口统计学和健康相关因素。
对来自横断面的“2011 - 2012年南非国家健康与营养检查调查（SANHANES - 1）”中曾怀孕女性的数据进行分析。样本包括5089名年龄在15 - 55岁的青少年和成年女性。她们回答了关于饮酒、社会人口统计学和健康指标的问题。
结果表明，3.7%（95.0%置信区间[CI] = 3.1，4.5）的南非女性在孕期饮酒。在调整分析中，发现混血、未就业、自我健康评价差、曾被诊断患有结核病以及患有部分创伤后应激障碍与孕期饮酒有关。
研究结果表明社会人口统计学和健康变量与产前饮酒之间存在关联，这可能对公共卫生政策具有启示意义。
