Abstract

Relatively little is known about the consequences for women of sustained higher levels of alcohol consumption. We examine three outcomes (marital relationship, reproductive health and well-being) for women with different alcohol consumption trajectories over 21 years. Data were from a prospective cohort study in Brisbane, Queensland (n = 3337). Group-based trajectory modeling measured women's alcohol consumption trajectories spanning 21 years. Outcomes were measured using a self-report questionnaire at the 27-year follow-up. Four trajectories of women's alcohol consumption were identified: abstaining, low-stable drinkers, moderate-escalating drinkers and heavy-escalating drinkers. Abstaining predicts positive outcomes measured at the 27-year follow-up such as being married, never having a divorce, never having multiple partners, and fewer pregnancy terminations. Moderate and heavy-escalating trajectories predict being unmarried, having multiple partners, having fewer children, having a termination of a previous pregnancy, and reporting lower levels of well-being at the 27-year follow-up. The escalating-trajectory group is of particular interest as membership of this group is associated with a wide range of adverse life course outcomes by the 27-year follow-up. The consequences of moderate and heavy-escalating alcohol trajectories in a community sample of women whose pattern of alcohol consumption do not reach clinical criteria of problem drinking have not previously been described. Women with these sustained patterns of alcohol consumption are an appropriate target group for intervention programs.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 01 June 2016.
All research outputs
#16,046,765
of 25,371,288 outputs
Outputs from Drug & Alcohol Review
#1,620
of 1,981 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#203,486
of 352,978 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Drug & Alcohol Review
#34
of 38 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,371,288 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,981 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 15.5. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 352,978 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 39th percentile – i.e., 39% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 38 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 7th percentile – i.e., 7% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
