背景:酒精的使用导致了美国发病率和死亡率的国家负担。逮捕,作为刑事司法系统参与的一种独特形式,可能与从青春期到成年的饮酒有关。本研究调查了跨种族/民族-性别(R/E-G)状态的逮捕与饮酒之间的关系(例如,黑色,Latinx,和白人男性和女性)作为青年年龄。
方法:来自全国青年纵向调查17波(1997-2015)的数据,1997年队列(N=8901)用于探索R/E-G的变化如何调节13至30岁的逮捕史与饮酒轨迹之间的关系。使用多级零膨胀泊松和泊松回归来评估逮捕史与饮酒天数之间关系的R/E-G变化,每个饮酒场合的饮料,以及考虑协变量后暴饮暴食的天数,包括监禁。
结果:研究结果表明,逮捕史与饮酒有关,这些结果因R/E-G状态而异,年龄,和酒精使用结果。那些有被捕史的人报告说,他们的饮酒天数比没有被捕的人多;然而,每次平均饮酒量和暴饮暴食天数的大小和方向因R/E-G状况和年龄而异。矛盾的是,黑人,黑人女性,有被捕史的拉丁裔男子报告说,随着年龄的增长,暴饮暴食的天数少于没有被捕的同龄人。
结论:从青春期到成年期,戒酒史对饮酒很重要,并且因R/E-G状态而异,年龄,和酒精使用结果。这项工作证实了先前的奖学金,表明逮捕和饮酒是社会模式,而R/E-G身份是理解这种关系的重要考虑因素。未来的工作应包括其他身份和健康行为以及与饮酒结果相关的后果。
BACKGROUND: Alcohol use contributes to the national burden of morbidity and mortality in the United States.
Arrest, as a unique form of criminal justice system involvement, may be related to alcohol use from adolescence to adulthood. This study investigates the relationship between
arrest and alcohol use across race/ethnicity-gender (R/E-G) status (e.g., Black, Latinx, and White men and women) as youth age.
METHODS: Data from 17 waves (1997-2015) of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, 1997 cohort (N = 8901) were used to explore how variation in R/E-G moderates the relationship between arrest history and alcohol use trajectories from 13 to 30 years old. Multilevel zero-inflated Poisson and Poisson regression were used to assess R/E-G variation in the relationship between arrest history and days of alcohol consumption, drinks per drinking occasion, and days of binge drinking after accounting for covariates, including incarceration.
RESULTS: The findings indicate that an
arrest history is associated with alcohol use, and these results varied by R/E-G status, age, and alcohol use outcome. Those with an
arrest history reported more days of drinking than their counterparts without an
arrest; yet, the magnitude and direction of average drinks per occasion and binge drinking days varied by R/E-G status and age. Paradoxically, Black men, Black women, and Latinx men with an arrest history reported fewer days of binge drinking as they aged than their counterparts without an
arrest.
CONCLUSIONS: A history of arrest is important for alcohol use from adolescence to adulthood and varies by R/E-G status, age, and alcohol use outcome. This work confirms previous scholarship showing that arrest and alcohol use are socially patterned and R/E-G status is an essential consideration in understanding the relationship. Future work should include additional identities and health behaviors and the consequences related to alcohol use outcomes.
