This study examined the perceived change in parental and peer attitudes toward underage drinking associated with the raising of the legal drinking age and its effect on youthful alcohol use and drinking driving. The analysis was based on the New York State Youth Alcohol Survey, a series of four surveys conducted in 1982, before the enactment of the 19 drinking age law; 1983, after the enactment of the 19 drinking age law, 1985, before the 21 drinking law; and 1986, after the 21 drinking age law. Findings indicate that the effect of perceived parental attitudes is specific to underage alcohol use, but the effect of perceived peer attitudes is general to both underage and legal drinkers. Results from this study suggest that parental supervision is a key factor in enforcing the drinking age law and reducing youthful alcohol use. Parents' participation should be included in all enforcement and prevention/intervention efforts.
本研究调查了与法定饮酒年龄提高相关的父母及同伴对未成年人饮酒态度的感知变化，及其对青少年饮酒和酒后驾车的影响。分析基于纽约州青少年酒精调查，该调查包括在1982年（19岁饮酒年龄法颁布之前）、1983年（19岁饮酒年龄法颁布之后）、1985年（21岁饮酒年龄法颁布之前）以及1986年（21岁饮酒年龄法颁布之后）进行的一系列四次调查。研究结果表明，父母态度感知的影响特定于未成年人饮酒，而同伴态度感知的影响对未成年饮酒者和合法饮酒者均普遍适用。本研究结果表明，父母监督是执行饮酒年龄法和减少青少年饮酒的关键因素。父母的参与应纳入所有执法及预防/干预工作中。
