This study examines the relationship between the perceived decline in family income due to COVID-19 and alcohol consumption among Korean adolescents.
Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-Based Survey 2020 data were used. The study included 42,922 participants (20,672 males; 22,250 females). Multiple logistic regression estimated the relationship between the decline in family income due to COVID-19 and drinking (yes or no) and alcohol-induced blackout (yes or no) status among Korean adolescents.
Adolescent males who perceived worsened family income due to COVID-19 had a higher OR for drinking status and alcohol-induced blackout within 30 days (drinking status: OR 1.27, CI 1.15-1.42, alcohol-induced blackout: OR 1.60, CI 1.19-2.15). Females had a higher OR for current drinking (OR 1.22, CI 1.09-1.38). 7th grade females and 10th grade males were more likely to drink alcohol when their household income decline, compared to high school students (10th grade male: OR 1.54 CI 1.18-2.00; 7th grade female: OR 1.57 CI 1.08-2.27). The male group perceiving family financial loss were likely to have an increased frequency of drinking within 30 days (1-9 days: OR 1.26 CI 1.11-1.42, 10-19 days; OR 1.70 CI 1.22-2.36 over 20 days; OR 1.74 CI 1.15-3.09).
Cross-sectional design and self-reported data are the main limitation of our study. And the cut-off points for drinking status and heavy drinking factors may be difficult to generalize our findings to different population.
A significantly positive association of perceived decline in family income due to COVID-19 with increased risks of alcohol consumption was observed among Korean adolescents of both sexes. 7th grade females and 10th grade males were more likely to drink alcohol when their household income changed, compared to high school students. Further, adolescents who perceived family financial loss had an increased frequency of drinking.
本研究考察了因 COVID-19 导致家庭收入下降与韩国青少年饮酒之间的关系。
使用 2020 年韩国青少年风险行为网络调查数据。研究纳入 42922 名参与者(男 20672 名,女 22250 名)。采用多因素逻辑回归估计因 COVID-19 导致家庭收入下降与青少年饮酒(是或否)和饮酒后意识丧失(是或否)状况之间的关系。
认为家庭收入因 COVID-19 而恶化的青少年男性,其饮酒状态和 30 天内饮酒后意识丧失的比值比(OR)更高(饮酒状态:OR 1.27,95%CI 1.15-1.42,饮酒后意识丧失:OR 1.60,95%CI 1.19-2.15)。女性当前饮酒的 OR 更高(OR 1.22,95%CI 1.09-1.38)。与高中生相比,7 年级女生和 10 年级男生在家庭收入下降时更有可能饮酒(10 年级男生:OR 1.54,95%CI 1.18-2.00;7 年级女生:OR 1.57,95%CI 1.08-2.27)。认为家庭经济损失的男性群体,30 天内饮酒的频率更高(1-9 天:OR 1.26,95%CI 1.11-1.42,10-19 天:OR 1.70,95%CI 1.22-2.36,20 天以上:OR 1.74,95%CI 1.15-3.09)。
本研究的主要局限性是横断面设计和自我报告数据。此外,饮酒状态和重度饮酒因素的截止值可能难以将我们的研究结果推广到不同人群。
韩国青少年无论性别,都观察到因 COVID-19 导致家庭收入下降与饮酒风险增加呈显著正相关。与高中生相比,7 年级女生和 10 年级男生在家庭收入变化时更有可能饮酒。此外,认为家庭经济困难的青少年饮酒频率增加。
