UNASSIGNED: We recruited excessive drinkers and collected the drinking patterns and motivations by questionnaire in a multi-ethnic society. Multiple linear regressions were used to evaluate the variations in drinking characteristics among different ethnic groups.
UNASSIGNED: We recruited 1287 participants through convenience sampling (a non-probability sampling technique used in research where the researcher selects participants or units for a study based on their accessibility and proximity), among whom 439 excessive drinkers were eligible. The mean age was 38 years for the 439 participants, 92.9% were men, 36.0% were Han, and 64.0% were minorities mainly composed of the Yi. The majority of the participants were married (75.9%) and did physical work (58.1%). Ethnic minorities consumed more alcohol on a single occasion than Han people did (47.3 vs 41.8g/session) while drinking less frequently. For the minority and Han participants, 67% and 42% were not used to drinking with food, respectively. Peer pressure and fostering a good atmosphere were the most common drinking reasons for the minority and Han, respectively.
UNASSIGNED: We found substantial differences in drinking patterns and reasons between ethnic minorities and Han ethnicity, attributable to their culture and customs. Findings highlight the importance of drinking habits and motivations in exploring alcohol control education strategies in the context of ethnic integration and population immigration.
■我们招募了过量饮酒者,并通过问卷调查收集了多种族社会中的饮酒方式和动机。多元线性回归用于评估不同种族之间饮酒特征的变化。
■我们通过便利抽样(研究中使用的一种非概率抽样技术,研究人员根据参与者的可及性和接近性为研究选择参与者或单位)招募了1287名参与者,其中439名过度饮酒者符合资格。439名参与者的平均年龄为38岁,92.9%是男性,36.0%是汉族,以彝族为主的少数民族占64.0%。大多数参与者已婚(75.9%)和体力劳动(58.1%)。少数民族一次饮酒比汉族多(47.3比41.8g/次),而饮酒频率较低。对于少数民族和汉族参与者来说,67%和42%的人不习惯与食物一起饮用,分别。同辈压力和营造良好的氛围是少数民族和汉族最常见的饮酒原因,分别。
■我们发现少数民族和汉族在饮酒模式和原因上存在很大差异,归因于他们的文化和习俗。研究结果强调了饮酒习惯和动机在种族融合和人口移民背景下探索酒精控制教育策略的重要性。
