The aim of this study was to generate a baseline database of print media reporting on alcohol and other drug (AOD) issues prior to the release of the Mindframe guidelines in March 2019. Specifically, to: (i) describe the content associated with media entries that focus on AOD use in Australian news media; (ii) determine how the media entries compare to several domains associated with recently developed Mindframe guidelines for publicly reporting on AOD; and (iii) identify content factors associated with different scores.
Media entries between July 2016 and June 2017 were searched for key AOD-related terms using the Australian and New Zealand Newsstream database. Two coding schemes were developed to rate a stratified sample of 50% of the media entries against the Mindframe guidelines. Associations between content and total comparison scores were determined using linear regression models.
Detailed coding of the 2007 articles identified as relevant for the current study indicated that a majority (67%) were focused on one of three substances: alcohol, cannabis or methamphetamine. Most of the entries were either law enforcement (22%) or criminal justice related (19%). Entries that focused on methamphetamine scored significantly lower than entries on alcohol when compared to the Mindframe guidelines, similarly entries focused on crime/justice-related topics scored significantly lower than entries focused on positive outcomes.
A disproportionate number of print media entries, particularly those related methamphetamine use, focused on crime or justice-related topics, potentially further contributing to stigma, and emphasising the legal consequences of AOD use.
本研究旨在生成一份基础数据库，记录 2019 年 3 月 Mindframe 指南发布之前，关于酒精和其他药物（AOD）问题的印刷媒体报道。具体来说，目的是：（i）描述聚焦于澳大利亚新闻媒体中 AOD 使用的媒体报道的相关内容；（ii）确定媒体报道与最近制定的 Mindframe 指南中几个与 AOD 公开报告相关的领域相比如何；（iii）确定与不同分数相关的内容因素。
使用澳大利亚和新西兰新闻流数据库，对 2016 年 7 月至 2017 年 6 月期间的媒体报道进行了与 AOD 相关的关键词搜索。针对 Mindframe 指南，制定了两个编码方案，对 50%的媒体报道进行分层抽样评分。使用线性回归模型确定内容与总分之间的关联。
对被确定为当前研究相关的 2007 篇文章进行详细编码表明，大多数（67%）文章聚焦于三种物质之一：酒精、大麻或甲基苯丙胺。大部分报道属于执法（22%）或刑事司法相关（19%）。与 Mindframe 指南相比，重点关注甲基苯丙胺的报道得分明显低于酒精报道，同样，重点关注犯罪/司法相关主题的报道得分明显低于重点关注积极结果的报道。
相当数量的印刷媒体报道，特别是与甲基苯丙胺使用相关的报道，侧重于犯罪或司法相关主题，可能会进一步加剧污名化，并强调 AOD 使用的法律后果。
