TABLE 4.
Simulated Prevalence of Adolescent Drinking by Alcohol Availability
| Mean No. of Alcohol Outlets Within 0.5 Mile of Residencesa | Binge Drinking, % | Ever Driven After Drinking, % |
| Asian/Pacific Islander level (mean = 9.51) | 6.4 | 7.9 |
| Non-Hispanic White level (mean = 5.48) | 5.6 | 6.0 |
| Lowest income level (mean = 9.53) | 6.4 | 7.9 |
| Highest income level (mean = 5.37) | 5.6 | 5.9 |
| Asian/Pacific Islander lowest income level (mean = 12.55) | 6.7 | 9.8 |
| Non-Hispanic White highest income level (mean = 5.37) | 5.6 | 5.9 |
Note. Regression model 1, with total number of alcohol outlets as key explanatory variables, was used. All statistics were weighted.
a
In the simulation, only alcohol outlets in the 0.5-mile radii changed. Alcohol environments in the outer bands were kept constant.
