Distinguishing High-Intensity Drinking from Heavy-Episodic Drinking Events Among Heavy-Drinking U.S. adults
INTRODUCTION: High-intensity drinking (HID) poses significant health risks, yet research on its prevalence and contextual factors, among general adult populations, remains limited. To identify intervention points among heavy drinkers, this study compared event-level factors that were associated with higher risk for HID compared to heavy episodic drinking (5+ drinks). METHODS: We surveyed 756 adults (ages 18-65) who engaged in past-year 5+ drinkin…
Alcoholic beverage types consumed by population subgroups in the United States
At-Risk Drinking in US Adults with Health Conditions
High Intensity Drinking (HID) Assessed by Maximum Quantity Consumed Is an Important Pattern Measure Adding Predictive Value in Higher and Lower Income Societies for Modeling Alcohol-Related Problems
Adjusting for demographics and standard drinking measures, High Intensity Drinking (HID), indexed by the maximum quantity consumed in a single day in the past 12 months, may be valuable in predicting alcohol dependence other harms across high and low income societies. The data consisted of 17 surveys of adult (15,460 current drinkers; 71% of total surveyed) in Europe (3), the Americas (8), Africa (2), and Asia/Australia (4). Gender-disaggregated …
A gender-focused multilevel analysis of how country, regional and individual level factors relate to harm from others’ drinking
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to examine how gender, age and education, regional prevalence of male and female risky drinking and country-level economic gender equality are associated with harms from other people's drinking. METHODS: 24,823 adults in ten countries were surveyed about harms from drinking by people they know and strangers. Country-level economic gender equality and regional prevalence of risky drinking along with age and ge…
Associations of clustered health risk behaviors with diabetes and hypertension in White, Black, Hispanic, and Asian American adults
Concerted efforts to address clustered risk behaviors in most US adults, particularly in racial/ethnic minority groups given the high prevalence of unhealthy clustering, are warranted
Subjective Social Status and Financial Hardship
Background: Prior research shows inconsistent associations between socioeconomic status (SES) and alcohol outcomes, particularly for immigrant populations. Conventional markers of SES may not fully capture how social position affects health in these groups. Objective: We examine: (1) the associations of two alternative indicators, subjective social status (SSS) and financial hardship, with problem drinking outcomes, heavy episodic drinking (HED) …
Gender Equality, Drinking Cultures and Second-Hand Harms from Alcohol in the 50 US States
Detrimental effects of high male binge drinking rates may be modified by gender equality. Targeted interventions may reduce alcohol-related harms experienced by women in states with high rates of male binge drinking. Restrictions in access to contraception and abortion may exacerbate harms due to men's drinking
Associations of Asian Ethnicity and Parental Education with Overweight in Asian American Children and Adolescents
Chains of risk for alcohol use disorder
Ethnic-group socioeconomic status as an indicator of community-level disadvantage
Medicaid Expansion and Healthcare Access
Asian American Problem Drinking Trajectories During the Transition to Adulthood
Objectives. We aimed to identify problem drinking trajectories and their predictors among Asian Americans transitioning from adolescence to adulthood. We considered cultural and socioeconomic contextual factors, specifically ethnic drinking cultures, neighborhood socioeconomic status, and neighborhood coethnic density, to identify subgroups at high risk for developing problematic drinking trajectories. Methods. We used a sample of 1333 Asian Amer…
Developing the Community Empowered Research Training Program
CBOs possess both an interest in and access to local knowledge that can inform health priorities. Findings have been applied to the CERT program to build capacity to support community-initiated/driven research to address health disparities affecting AAs and NHPIs
Improving Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Health
Efforts to make research relevant to the work of community partners and to instill the value of research in community partners, as well as flexible funding mechanisms, may help to promote community-driven research
Rethinking Acculturation
Given the considerable variability in drinking practices among Asian American groups, the generalizations that suggest an increase in their alcohol use associated with acculturation need to be questioned. Also, the experience of children of immigrants growing up in the United States may be much more complex than a focus on acculturation can capture. Informed by the theory of segmented assimilation, this study addresses two research questions: (1)…
