评估发布修订后的低风险国家饮酒指南对相关意识和知识的短期影响。检查同一时期饮酒者在哪里听说过指南。
酒精工具包研究的趋势分析,每月重复的全国横断面调查。
英格兰,2015年11月至2016年5月。
英格兰共有11845名成年人(18岁以上)居住在私人家庭中。
2016年1月发布了修订的国家饮酒指南,该指南将男性指南每周减少了约三分之一至14个单位。
饮酒者(1)是否听说过饮酒指南(意识),(2)指出准则是上述的,准确或低于14个单位(知识)和(3)报告在上个月在11个地点(暴露)中的每个地点看到了规定的指南单位数量。社会人口统计学:性别,年龄(18-34,35-64,65+),社会等级(AB,C1C2,DE)。酒精消费源于毕业频率问题:低风险(<14单位/周),增加/高风险(14个单位/周)。
指南发布后,了解指南的饮酒者比例与基线水平85.1%相比没有增加(CI82.7%~87.1%).然而,表示指南为14个单位或以下的男性饮酒者比例从12月份的22.6%(CI18.9%~26.7%)增加到1月份的43.3%(CI38.9%~47.8%),5月份为35.6%(CI31.6%~39.9%).上个月,除电视/广播外,所有地区的指南暴露量均低于25%,其中暴露量从12月的33%(CI28.8%至36.2%)增加到1月的65%(CI61.2%至68.3%)。在社会等级DE中,对准则的认识和知识最低,并且在发布后仍然存在这种差距。
发布新的或修订的低风险饮酒指南可以提高饮酒者在所有社会人口统计学群体中对这些指南的了解;然而,在缺乏持续促销活动的情况下,积极效果可能无法维持,社会对准则的认识和知识的不平等可能会持续存在。
To evaluate short-term effects of publishing revised lower risk national drinking guidelines on related awareness and knowledge. To examine where drinkers heard about guidelines over the same period.
Trend analysis of the Alcohol Toolkit Study, a monthly repeat cross-sectional national survey.
England, November 2015 to May 2016.
A total of 11 845 adults (18+) living in private households in England.
Publication of revised national drinking
guidelines in January 2016 which reduced the male
guideline by approximately one-third to 14 units per week.
Whether drinkers (1) had heard of drinking
guidelines (awareness), (2) stated the
guideline was above, exactly or below 14 units (knowledge) and (3) reported seeing the stated
guideline number of units in the last month in each of 11 locations (exposure). Sociodemographics: sex, age (18-34, 35-64, 65+), social grade (AB, C1C2, DE). Alcohol consumption derived from graduated frequency questions: low risk (<14 units/week), increasing/high risk (14+ units/week).
Following publication of the
guidelines, the proportion of drinkers aware of
guidelines did not increase from its baseline level of 85.1% (CI 82.7% to 87.1%). However, the proportion of male drinkers saying the
guideline was 14 units or less increased from 22.6% (CI 18.9% to 26.7%) in December to 43.3% (CI 38.9% to 47.8%) in January and was at 35.6% (CI 31.6% to 39.9%) in May. Last month exposure to the guidelines was below 25% in all locations except television/radio where exposure increased from 33% (CI 28.8% to 36.2%) in December to 65% (CI 61.2% to 68.3%) in January. Awareness and knowledge of guidelines was lowest in social grade DE and this gap remained after publication.
Publication of new or revised lower risk drinking guidelines can improve drinkers\' knowledge of these guidelines within all sociodemographic groups; however, in the absence of sustained promotional activity, positive effects may not be maintained and social inequalities in awareness and knowledge of guidelines are likely to persist.
