Teenagers who drink alcohol are at higher risk of becoming victims of violence,a Cardiff University study has found.
A team from the School of Dentistry’s Violence Research Group studied drinking habits in children aged 11 - 16 in England.They found not only a link between drink and violence but also that children who drank were more likely to be hit,even if they weren’t violent themselves.
The researchers are now calling for measures to prevent alcohol misuse to reduce injury risk.Current policy focuses on reducing aggressionbut this research shows that there should be equal effort to reduce victimization.
More than 4,000 children were surveyed at 13 schools at four local authorities in the North,the Midlands,London,and the South.The study found that 25% of 11-year-olds were drinking monthly and 3.6% daily,with 12.8% admitting to getting drunk 3 to 5 times a year.By the age of 16,40% were drinking weekly and 6.2% were drinking every day.The research also showed 22.6% of 16-year-olds were getting drunk more than 21 times a year.
The study,which has just been published in the JournalofAdolescence,found a strong link between frequency of drinking and frequency of hitting other people.
However,children who reported drinking monthly were also three times more likely to be hit.Adolescents who drank but didn’t get into fights were more likely to be hit than those who did fight 不要用翻译工具!

Cardiff大学的一项研究表明,饮酒的青少年有更高的成为暴力事件受害者的风险.来自牙科暴力研究小组的团队针对英国年龄在11-16岁的孩子们,展开了一项关于饮酒习惯的调查.他们发现,饮酒与暴力存在不简单的联系,那些饮酒的青少年更容易受到攻击,即使他们不是开始施暴的一方.研究者目前正在倡导阻止酒精的错误使用以减少他们受伤的可能性.目前的政策着重于减少侵略性的行为,但相关的研究也表明,在减少受害者方面也需要投入同等的努力.北部,中部,伦敦,南部四个地区的有关当局,挑选了来自13个不同学校的4000个孩子做了调查.他们发现,25%的11岁小孩每月都喝酒,3.6%的孩子每天都喝酒,12.8%的孩子承认每天会喝3-5次.在16岁的孩子中,40%每周都喝酒,6.2%每天都喝酒.该项研究也表明,22.6%的16岁孩子一年至少喝醉21次.这个研究已经被刊登在青少年刊物上,并且它显示了频繁饮酒与习惯性攻击他人之间的紧密联系.但是,那些每个月都饮酒的孩子,至少比他人多出3倍的被攻击的可能性.饮酒青少年如果不加入群殴中就会比那些打架的人更容易被别人打.
