AIMS Most alcohol research has focused on how drinking harms the drinker. Research on alcohol's harms to others (AHTO) has studied primarily single or small groups of countries. This article describes the methodology of a new multinational study - GENAHTO - of how social and cultural contexts are related to AHTO, from the perspectives of both perpetrators and victims. DESIGN The GENAHTO Project uses surveys in 21 countries that provide data from drinkers who report causing harms to others, and surveys in 16 countries that provide data from victims of AHTO. The countries surveyed vary widely in alcohol policies, drinking cultures, gender-role definitions, and socioeconomic conditions. PARTICIPANTS More than 140,000 men and women, aged 15-84, participated in the surveys. MEASURES Individual-level measures include demographics, alcohol use patterns, and alcohol-related harms. Regional- and societal-level measures include socioeconomic conditions, drinking patterns, alcohol policies, gender inequality, and income inequality. FINDINGS The project seeks to identify characteristics of AHTO victims and perpetrators; within-country regional differences in AHTO; and associations between national alcohol polices and individual and regional levels of AHTO. CONCLUSIONS GENAHTO is the first project to assess AHTO in diverse societies. Its findings can inform policies to abate AHTO in varying cultural contexts.

GENAHTO 项目（性别和酒精对他人的伤害）：针对酒精对饮酒者以外的人的伤害进行跨国研究的设计和方法。

目的 大多数酒精研究都集中在饮酒如何伤害饮酒者。关于酒精对他人危害的研究 (AHTO) 主要研究单个或一小群国家。本文介绍了一项新的跨国研究 GENAHTO 的方法，该研究从犯罪者和受害者的角度探讨社会和文化背景如何与 AHTO 相关。设计 GENAHTO 项目使用了在 21 个国家进行的调查，提供了报告对他人造成伤害的饮酒者的数据，并在 16 个国家进行了调查，提供了 AHTO 受害者的数据。接受调查的国家在酒精政策、饮酒文化、性别角色定义和社会经济条件方面存在很大差异。参与者 超过 140,000 名年龄在 15 岁至 84 岁之间的男性和女性参与了调查。措施 个人层面的措施包括人口统计、饮酒模式以及与酒精相关的危害。区域和社会层面的衡量标准包括社会经济条件、饮酒模式、酒精政策、性别不平等和收入不平等。调查结果 该项目旨在确定 AHTO 受害者和肇事者的特征；AHTO 国内地区差异；以及国家酒精政策与个人和地区层面的 AHTO 之间的联系。结论 GENAHTO 是第一个评估不同社会 AHTO 的项目。其研究结果可为在不同文化背景下减少 AHTO 的政策提供信息。
