Alcohol gifting is a very common practice in China. However, little is known about the potentially adverse consequences of alcohol gifting. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of, and factors associated with, alcohol gifting, and explore whether drinking and tobacco use were associated with alcohol gifting.
Using a cross-sectional multi-stage survey, a sample of 982 household heads from Guangdong Province and 530 household heads from Shaanxi Province was collected online from 30 April to 30 July 2020 in China. Participants completed questionnaires regarding socio-demographic characteristics, social capital, drinking status, and gifting alcohol behavior. Chi-square analysis and multiple logistic regression analysis were used to identify the factors associated with alcohol gifting, and to identify its relationship with alcohol and cigarette use status.
Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that age, gender, household annual income, province, drinking status, and social participation were prominent correlates of both offering and receiving alcohol. Participants who were married, had an education level of junior high school, or had a large social network had higher odds of receiving alcohol. When both alcohol gifting behaviors were included in the models, participants who offered alcohol had 2.15 (95% CI: 1.63-2.85) times higher odds of current drinking than those who didn't offer alcohol and participants who received alcohol had 1.87 (95% CI: 1.45-2.41) times higher odds of current drinking than those who did not receive alcohol. Those who received alcohol had significantly higher odds of current smoking (AOR = 1.64; 95% CI: 1.25-2.14), while those who offered alcohol had significantly lower odds of current smoking (AOR = 0.71;95% CI:0.53-0.95).
Social participation is an important correlate of alcohol gifting. Alcohol receiving behaviors were significantly associated with both current alcohol and tobacco use. These associations can be used to inform alcohol gifting interventions in China.
在中国,送酒是一种非常普遍的行为。然而,人们对送酒可能带来的不良后果知之甚少。本研究旨在调查送酒的流行程度和相关因素,并探讨饮酒和吸烟是否与送酒有关。
本研究采用横断面多阶段抽样方法,于 2020 年 4 月 30 日至 7 月 30 日在中国广东和陕西两省收集了 982 户家庭户主和 530 户家庭户主的在线样本。参与者完成了关于社会人口特征、社会资本、饮酒状况和送酒行为的问卷。采用卡方分析和多因素逻辑回归分析来确定与送酒相关的因素,并确定其与饮酒和吸烟状况的关系。
多因素逻辑回归分析表明,年龄、性别、家庭年收入、省份、饮酒状况和社会参与是提供和接受酒类的重要相关因素。已婚、初中及以上学历或拥有广泛社交网络的参与者更有可能收到酒类。当同时将两种送酒行为纳入模型时,提供酒类的参与者目前饮酒的可能性是不提供酒类的参与者的 2.15 倍(95%CI:1.63-2.85),而接受酒类的参与者目前饮酒的可能性是不接受酒类的参与者的 1.87 倍(95%CI:1.45-2.41)。接受酒类的参与者目前吸烟的可能性显著较高(OR=1.64;95%CI:1.25-2.14),而提供酒类的参与者目前吸烟的可能性显著较低(OR=0.71;95%CI:0.53-0.95)。
社会参与是送酒的一个重要相关因素。接受酒类与当前饮酒和吸烟均显著相关。这些关联可用于为中国的送酒干预提供信息。
