Because of the threat of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, pregnant women have been a primary target for interventions that provide information about the risk associated with drinking during pregnancy. In a general population sample of pregnant women, the relationships between alcohol consumption in pregnant women and exposure to four sources of health messages are investigated. Sources included alcohol beverage container labels, point of sale signs, advertisements, and personal conversations. Results from a five year cross-sectional U.S. national survey and a two year longitudinal study of women of childbearing age (18-40 yrs) indicate that the vast majority of the drinking women (80 percent) decrease their alcohol consumption during pregnancy, with 61 percent of the drinkers abstaining completely. Pregnant women who do drink reported consuming relatively low quantities of alcohol, with only four percent consuming more than three drinks in a single day. Unlike previous research, no differences were found by ethnicity. Message exposure varied greatly by source, ranging from 84 percent reporting conversations about the dangers of drinking during pregnancy to 17 percent who had seen a point-of-sale poster. While there has been an increase in the proportion of pregnant women exposed to the container warning message about drinking during pregnancy, there has been a significant decline in the proportion exposed to advertisements and to conversations about the risk. Unlike prior analyses of the general population which found that warning label exposure is associated with heavy drinking, no relationship was found between label exposure and consumption among the sample of pregnant women; nor were changes in drinking during pregnancy found to be associated with exposure to any of the assessed messages (labels, posters, advertisements, and conversations). |

Health Risk Factors Associated with Lifetime Abstinence from Alcohol in the 1979 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth Cohort Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research 41,2 (February 2017): 388-398. Also: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/acer.13302/abstract Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Research Society on Alcoholism and the International Society for Biomedical Research on Alcoholism Keyword(s): Alcohol Use; Health, Chronic Conditions; Health, Mental/Psychological; Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This study used data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 cohort of 14 to 21 year olds followed through 2012 (n = 7,515). Definitions of abstinence and occasional drinking were constructed based on multiple measurements. Descriptive analyses were used to compare the definitions, and in further analysis, lifetime abstainers (n = 718) and lifetime minimal drinkers (n = 1,027) were compared with drinkers across demographics and early-life characteristics (i.e., religion, poverty, parental education, and family alcohol problems) in logistic regression models. |

Alcohol Use Patterns and Risk of Diabetes Onset in the 1979 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth Cohort Preventive Medicine 109 (April 2018): 22-27. Also: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0091743518300100 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): Alcohol Use; Body Mass Index (BMI); Health, Chronic Conditions; Life Course One of the major limitations in studying alcohol's effect on risk for diabetes is the issue of classifying drinking patterns across the life course prior to the onset of diabetes. Furthermore, this research often overlooks important life course risk factors such as obesity and early-life health problems that may complicate estimation of the relationship between alcohol and diabetes. This study used data from the US National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 cohort of 14-21 year olds followed through 2012 (n = 8289). Alcohol use was captured through time-varying measures of past month volume and frequency of days with 6+ drinks. Discrete-time survival models controlling for demographics, early-life characteristics and time-varying risk factors of employment, smoking, and body mass index (BMI) group, stratified by sex and race/ethnicity, were estimated. Increased odds of diabetes onset was found among lifetime abstainers for women compared to the low volume reference group (odds ratio (OR) 1.57; 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 1.07–2.3). Increased odds of diabetes onset was also found among women who reported drinking 6+ drinks in a day on a weekly basis during the prior 10 years (OR 1.55; CI 1.04–2.31). Models interacting alcohol and BMI groups found increased odds of diabetes onset from lifetime abstention among overweight women only (OR 3.06; CI 1.67–5.60). This study confirms previous findings of protective effects from low volume drinking compared to lifetime abstention and harmful effects from regular heavy occasion drinking for women. Further, protective effects in this US sample were found to be limited to overweight women only. |

Adverse Childhood Events and Risk of Diabetes Onset in the 1979 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth Cohort BMC Public Health 19 (December 2019): DOI: 10.1186/s12889-019-7337-5. Also: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s12889-019-7337-5 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Springer Keyword(s): Childhood Adversity/Trauma; Health, Chronic Conditions; Obesity Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Background: Type 2 diabetes is a major public health problem with considerable personal and societal costs. Adverse childhood experiences (ACE) are associated with a number of serious and chronic health problems in adulthood, but these experiences have not been adequately studied in relation to diabetes in a US national sample. The association between ACE and poor health can be partially explained by greater risky health behaviors (RHB) such as smoking, heavy alcohol use, or obesity. Few studies have examined ACE in relation to adult onset Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) taking into account the role of RHB. Using longitudinal data from a representative US population sample followed over 30 years, this study examines the impact of ACE on the risk of diabetes onset. Methods: Data from the 1982 to 2012 waves of the 1979 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth were analyzed, spanning ages 14 to 56. Bivariate and discrete-time survival models were used to assess the relationships between ACE and RHB including smoking, alcohol use, and obesity, and subsequent onset of diabetes. Conclusion: ACE predicted diabetes onset among women, though this relationship was attenuated when controlling for BMI. Being overweight or obese was significantly more common among women with a history of ACE, which suggests BMI may be on the pathway from ACE to diabetes onset for women. |

Lifecourse Drinking Patterns, Hypertension, and Heart Problems Among U.S. Adults American Journal of Preventive Medicine 58,3 (March 2020): 386-395. Also: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0749379719304830 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): Alcohol Use; Ethnic Differences; Gender Differences; Health, Chronic Conditions; Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Life Course; Racial Differences Introduction: Understanding the role of alcohol in hypertension and heart problems requires a lifecourse perspective accounting for drinking patterns before onset of health problems that distinguishes between lifetime abstinence and former drinking, prior versus current drinking, and overall alcohol consumption in conjunction with heavy episodic drinking. Using prospective data among U.S. adults aged 21-55 years, this study accounts for these lifecourse factors to investigate the effect of alcohol on hypertension and heart problems. Methods: Data from the U.S. National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, aged 14-21 years in 1979 and followed through 2012 (n=8,289), were analyzed in 2017-18 to estimate hypertension and heart problems onset from lifecourse drinking patterns. Discrete-time survival models stratified by sex and race/ethnicity, controlling for demographics and time-varying factors of employment, smoking, and obesity. Results: Elevated risks for hypertension were found for women drinking >14 drinks/week regardless of any heavy drinking (AOR=1.57, p=0.023) and for men engaged in risky drinking (15-28 drinks/week) together with monthly heavy drinking (AOR=1.64, p=0.016). Having a history of weekly heavy drinking elevated the risk for women but not for men. No significant relationship was evident for alcohol and heart problems onset. |
