This study compared the alcohol-use-related problems of Puerto Rican and Irish-American men: groups sometimes considered at "high risk" for the development of such problems. It was found that Irish-American men had higher lifetime prevalence rates in the following areas: excessive intake, tolerance and/or dependence, physical or psychological problems associated with alcohol misuse, and social and/or occupational problems associated with alcohol misuse. Results are discussed in terms of Puerto Rican and Irish-American risk status and the importance of appropriate comparisons in studies focused on culture/ethnicity and alcohol consumption.
这两个群体有时被认为是出现此类问题的“高风险”群体。研究发现，爱尔兰裔美国男性在以下方面的终生患病率更高：过量饮酒、耐受性和/或依赖性、与酒精滥用相关的身体或心理问题，以及与酒精滥用相关的社会和/或职业问题。根据波多黎各裔和爱尔兰裔美国男性的风险状况，以及在关注文化/种族与酒精消费的研究中进行适当比较的重要性，对研究结果进行了讨论。
