Despite the centrality of dating relationships for teens, it is unclear whether the influence of romantic partners' alcohol use on adolescents' under-age drinking is distinct from the influence of peers and parents. To address this gap, this study used longitudinal data from a population-based sample of 825 adolescents (49% male, 51% female), ages 12 to 19. Adolescents completed a survey using laptops for privacy, and a parent completed a survey separately. Ordinary least squares and logistic regression models assessed alcohol use frequency and alcohol problems and included dating partners' drinking, adolescents' prior drinking, peers' drinking, parents' substance use, parental monitoring, and sociodemographic background characteristics. Alcohol use frequency and alcohol problems were influenced by dating partners' alcohol use and dating partners' influence was stronger on older adolescents and male adolescents. The study results are useful for public health messaging and prevention efforts by demonstrating the influence of parents, peers, and dating partners on teens' alcohol use.
尽管约会关系对青少年至关重要，但目前尚不清楚浪漫伴侣的饮酒行为对青少年未成年饮酒的影响是否有别于同伴和父母的影响。为了填补这一空白，本研究使用了基于人群的 825 名青少年（49%为男性，51%为女性）的纵向数据，年龄在 12 至 19 岁之间。青少年使用笔记本电脑进行隐私调查，父母则单独完成一份调查。普通最小二乘法和逻辑回归模型评估了饮酒频率和饮酒问题，包括约会伴侣的饮酒情况、青少年的既往饮酒情况、同伴的饮酒情况、父母的物质使用情况、父母的监督情况以及社会人口学背景特征。饮酒频率和饮酒问题受到约会伴侣饮酒行为的影响，并且这种影响在年龄较大的青少年和男性青少年中更为强烈。研究结果对于公共卫生信息传递和预防工作具有参考价值，表明父母、同伴和约会伴侣对青少年饮酒行为具有影响。
