Evaluating correlates of awareness of the association between drinking too much alcohol and cancer risk in the United States

Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention Jun 15, 2019

Wiseman KP, et al. - Researchers focused on the awareness of the link between drinking too much alcohol and cancer (“Yes,” aware of the link; “No”; or “Don't know”) as well as on the predictors of awareness among 3,009 adults in the United States, utilizing data from the 2017 Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS 5 Cycle 1) and weighted multinomial multivariable logistic regression. They found 1.61 and 1.80 higher odds of reporting “Yes” among individuals believing that everything causes cancer and subjects who had ever looked up information regarding cancer. They noted 2.32 higher odds of reporting “Don't know” in people only somewhat confident in their ability to take care of their health vs those fully confident. A negative link was found between younger age and reporting “Don't know.” In the United States, a low awareness of the link between alcohol and cancer was reported. Variations were evident, regarding personal features related to awareness, between reporting “Yes” and “Don't know,” and findings revealed few links between demographic features and awareness.
