This paper reports changes in drinking problems among Whites, Blacks, and Hispanics between 1984 and 1992. A probability sample including 1,777 Whites. 1,947 Blacks, and 1,453 Hispanics in the United States adult household population was interviewed in 1984. In 1992 a subsample consisting of 788 Whites, 723 Blacks, and 703 Hispanics was reinterviewed. Results show a decrease in problem prevalence among Whites, stability among Blacks, and an increase among Hispanics. Problem incidence was higher among Hispanics than among Whites and Blacks, put problem remission was higher among Whites. Women had a lower problem incidence but a higher problem remission than men, independent of ethnicity. The two best predictors of problem status in 1992 were reporting a problem in 1984 and reporting a high level of consumption in 1984.
本文报告了1984年至1992年间美国白人、黑人和西班牙裔饮酒问题的变化情况。1984年，对美国成年家庭人口中的1777名白人、1947名黑人以及1453名西班牙裔进行了概率抽样访谈。1992年，对由788名白人、723名黑人以及703名西班牙裔组成的子样本进行了再次访谈。结果显示，白人中问题患病率下降，黑人中保持稳定，而西班牙裔中则有所上升。西班牙裔的问题发生率高于白人和黑人，但白人的问题缓解率更高。无论种族如何，女性的问题发生率较低，但问题缓解率高于男性。1992年问题状态的两个最佳预测因素是在1984年报告有问题以及在1984年报告饮酒量高。
