The aim of this paper was to explore responses to alcohol health information labels from a cross sectional survey of people who drink alcohol from 29 countries.
This paper draws on findings from the Global Drug Survey (GDS) - an annual cross sectional online survey.
75,969 (64.3% male) respondents from 29 countries were included in the study.
Respondents were shown seven health information labels (topics were heart disease, liver, cancer, calories, violence, taking two days off and myth of benefits of moderate drinking). They were asked if the information was new, believable, personally relevant, and if it would change their drinking. A multivariate multilevel Bayesian logistic regression model was used to estimate predicted probabilities for newness, believability, relevance and if messages would change drinking behaviour by country and information label.
Predicted probabilities showed substantial variability in responses across countries. Respondents from Colombia, Brazil and Mexico were more likely to consider drinking less as well as have lower levels of previous awareness. Those from Denmark and Switzerland were not as likely to say the labels would make them consider drinking less. The cancer message was consistently the newest and most likely to make people consider drinking less across countries.
Country differences in responses to messages can be used to create targeted harm reduction measures as well as inform what should be on labels. The provision of such health information on alcohol product labels may play a role in raising awareness of the risk of drinking. Global comparisons of responses to alcohol health information labels: a cross sectional study of people who drink alcohol from 29 countries.
本文旨在探讨来自 29 个国家的饮酒人群对酒精健康信息标签的反应。
本文借鉴了全球毒品调查（GDS）的调查结果——一项年度横断面在线调查。
来自 29 个国家的 75969 名（64.3%为男性）受访者被纳入研究。
向受访者展示了七个健康信息标签（主题为心脏病、肝脏、癌症、卡路里、暴力、休息两天和适度饮酒的好处神话）。他们被问到这些信息是否新颖、可信、与个人相关，以及是否会改变他们的饮酒行为。采用多变量多层贝叶斯逻辑回归模型，根据国家和信息标签，估计新颖性、可信度、相关性以及信息是否会改变饮酒行为的预测概率。
预测概率显示，各国的反应存在很大差异。来自哥伦比亚、巴西和墨西哥的受访者更有可能考虑减少饮酒量，且先前的意识水平较低。来自丹麦和瑞士的受访者不太可能表示标签会让他们考虑减少饮酒量。癌症信息在各国都是最新的，最有可能让人们考虑减少饮酒量。
各国对信息的反应差异可用于制定有针对性的减少伤害措施，并为标签上应包含哪些内容提供信息。在酒精产品标签上提供此类健康信息可能有助于提高对饮酒风险的认识。对来自 29 个国家的饮酒人群的酒精健康信息标签反应的全球比较：一项横断面研究。
