The Gender Difference in the Association Between Early Onset of Drinking and Problem Drinking Between the U.S. and Japan
Using comparable survey data from the GENACIS Project, collected from representative samples of people aged 20 to 70 years old in the U.S. (n=2,598) and Japan (n=1,734), this study examined, across these two diverse societies, the gender difference in the association between the early onset of drinking and the development of drinking problems. The results of this study suggest that there does not appear to be a cross-national causal relationship …
Gender and Country Differences in Alcohol-Aggression Expectancy and Alcohol-Related Intimate Partner Violence
Alcohol use is associated with a higher rate of violent offending among males and a higher rate of violent victimization among females, especially for Intimate Partner Violence (IPV). Using comparable self-reported data from the GENACIS Project, the present study examines between the United States (n=2,363) and Japan (n=1,660) whether the expected gender difference in alcohol-related IPV is explained by alcohol-aggression expectancy. The results …
Gender differences and gender convergence in alcohol use over the past three decades (1984–2008), The Hunt Study, Norway
There has been a gender convergence in most drinking behaviours, including lifetime history of problem drinking, over the past 2-3 decades in this Norwegian general population, but the reasons for this convergence appear to be complex
Gender and alcohol consumption
Aims To evaluate multinational patterns of gender‐ and age‐specific alcohol consumption. Design and participants Large general‐population surveys of men's and women's drinking behavior ( n 's > 900) in 35 countries in 1997–2007 used a standardized questionnaire (25 countries) or measures comparable to those in the standardized questionnaire. Measurements Data from men and women in three age groups (18–34, 35–49, 50–65) showed the prevalence of dr…
A cross-cultural analysis of women's drinking and drinking-related problems in five countries
This study (1) examined patterns of correlations between two alcohol consumption measures and 2 drinking-related problem domains in women from 5 different countries; and (2) tested the hypothesis that the correlations between women's alcohol consumption and social criticism of their drinking would be higher in countries where women's drinking is less accepted or tolerated. Data were from 6 general population studies in Australia, the Czech Republ…
Gender differences in alcohol consumption and adverse drinking consequences
Aims: To examine the consistency and/or variability of gender differences in drinking behavior crossculturally. Design, setting, participants: Women's and men's responses in 16 general population surveys from 10 countries, analyzed by members of the International Research Group on Gender and Alcohol. Measurements: Comparable measures of drinking, versus abstention, typical drinking frequencies and quantities, heavy episodic drinking, intoxication…
Childhood sexual abuse and bulimic behavior in a nationally representative sample
OBJECTIVES. This study examines whether childhood sexual abuse is a significant risk factor for the development of bulimic behavior in women. METHODS. Interviews were conducted among a representative national sample of 1099 US women regarding their sexual experiences during childhood as well as their lifetime prevalence of bulimic behavior. Logistic regression was used to calculate adjusted odds ratios to measure the contribution of childhood sex…
Predicting onset and chronicity of women's problem drinking
BACKGROUND. Longitudinal studies of adult drinking have typically excluded or sampled only small numbers of problem drinking women, and have measured a limited range of influences on women's drinking behavior. METHODS. To study the development of women's problem drinking over time, five-year follow-up interviews were conducted with two groups of respondents from a 1981 national survey of women's drinking: 143 problem drinkers and 157 nonproblem d…

Women's Roles and Problem Drinking across the Lifespan
Data from a 1981 national survey of women's drinking show that women's problem drinking is associated with different configurations of roles at different ages. For women drinkers under 65, risks of problem drinking increase with age-specific patterns of role deprivation: the lack or loss of marital, employment, and childrearing roles. The demands of multiple roles do not appear to be a major cause of women's problem drinking at any age. Close rol…

Women's drinking and drinking problems
A 1981 national survey of women's drinking interviewed 917 women in the general population, stratified on the basis of screening interviews to include 500 moderate-to-heavy drinkers. The survey found no evidence of any major recent increase in women's drinking, and no evidence of unusually heavy drinking among working wives. Adverse drinking consequences and episodes of extreme drinking were most common among women aged 21-34; women who were unma…
