Contextual predictors of AUDIT scores among adult men living in India. The International Journal Of Alcohol And Drug Research, 6(1), 53-58. doi:http://dx.doi.org/10.7895/ijadr.v6i1.241Introduction: Currently, little is known about the prevalence of alcohol use in India. In order to begin to address this knowledge gap, this exploratory study examined contextual aspects of drinking events and the relationship between these factors and high-risk drinking.Methods: A convenience sample of 198 adult men was recruited from rural areas adjacent to the city of Nagpur. Participants were sampled in two waves. Respondents in both waves completed a nine-item survey that addressed alcohol use, including motivation to drink, where one drinks, and with whom one drinks. Demographic characteristics (e.g., income) were also recorded. Respondents recruited in the second wave (n = 98) completed the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT). The data were analyzed using Poisson regression models.Results: Of those who completed the AUDIT, 37% were at high risk for developing an alcohol-use disorder (i.e., received a score of 20 or greater). Participants had higher AUDIT scores (i.e., alcohol-use problems) when they reported typically buying alcohol in a shop. Furthermore, respondents with greater weekly incomes and those who drink with the motivation to get very drunk have higher AUDIT scores.Conclusions: This study found an alarmingly high rate of alcohol use and alcohol-related issues among respondents. A better understanding of drinking patterns and contextual aspects of drinking events is warranted.

(2017)。居住在印度的成年男性的 AUDIT 分数的上下文预测因子。国际酒精和药物研究杂志,6(1),53-58。doi:http://dx.doi.org/10.7895/ijadr.v6i1.241简介:目前,人们对印度饮酒的流行程度知之甚少。为了开始解决这一知识差距,这项探索性研究检查了饮酒事件的背景方面以及这些因素与高风险饮酒之间的关系。方法:从邻近城市的农村地区招募了 198 名成年男性的便利样本。那格浦尔。参与者分两波进行抽样。两波中的受访者都完成了一项涉及酒精使用的九项调查,包括饮酒的动机、在哪里喝酒以及与谁一起喝酒。人口特征(例如,收入)也被记录下来。在第二波招募的受访者 (n = 98) 完成了酒精使用障碍识别测试 (AUDIT)。使用泊松回归模型分析数据。结果:在完成审计的人中,37% 的人患酒精使用障碍的风险很高(即得分为 20 或更高)。当参与者报告通常在商店购买酒精时,他们的 AUDIT 分数(即酒精使用问题)较高。此外,每周收入较高的受访者和因醉酒而喝酒的人的 AUDIT 分数较高。结论:本研究发现受访者的酒精使用率和与酒精相关的问题高得惊人。有必要更好地了解饮酒模式和饮酒事件的背景方面。在第二波招募的受访者 (n = 98) 完成了酒精使用障碍识别测试 (AUDIT)。使用泊松回归模型分析数据。结果:在完成审计的人中,37% 的人患酒精使用障碍的风险很高(即得分为 20 或更高)。当参与者报告通常在商店购买酒精时,他们的 AUDIT 分数(即酒精使用问题)较高。此外,每周收入较高的受访者和因醉酒而喝酒的人的 AUDIT 分数较高。结论:本研究发现受访者的酒精使用率和与酒精相关的问题高得惊人。有必要更好地了解饮酒模式和饮酒事件的背景方面。在第二波招募的受访者 (n = 98) 完成了酒精使用障碍识别测试 (AUDIT)。使用泊松回归模型分析数据。结果:在完成审计的人中,37% 的人患酒精使用障碍的风险很高(即得分为 20 或更高)。当参与者报告通常在商店购买酒精时,他们的 AUDIT 分数(即酒精使用问题)较高。此外,每周收入较高的受访者和因醉酒而喝酒的人的 AUDIT 分数较高。结论:本研究发现受访者的酒精使用率和与酒精相关的问题高得惊人。有必要更好地了解饮酒模式和饮酒事件的背景方面。
