Adjusted odds ratios (aORs) were estimated from multinomial logistic regression models for associations between PHM adherence (self-quarantine, attending public gatherings, leaving home, mask wearing and handwashing) and self-reported changes in alcohol consumption during the first year of the pandemic and prospectively measured changes in alcohol consumption frequency and frequency of binge-drinking events from 2015\u20132018 to 2020.<\/p>\n                  <\/sec>\n                  <sec>\n                    <title>Results<\/title>\n                    <p>During the first year of the pandemic, 13% (n = 2733) of participants self-reported increased alcohol consumption, while 13% (n = 2921) self-reported decreased consumption. Prospective measures suggested 19.1% (n = 4421) increased and 34.5% (n = 7971) decreased consumption frequency, while 12.9% (n = 1427) increased and 17.6% (n = 1953) decreased frequency of binge-drinking events. High PHM adherence, compared to low, was associated with higher odds of decreased alcohol consumption frequency (aOR = 1.17; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.06\u20131.30). No associations were observed between PHM adherence and self-reported change in alcohol consumption or frequency of binge-drinking events. Associations were consistent across socioeconomic groups.<\/p>\n                  <\/sec>\n                  <sec>\n                    <title>Conclusion<\/title>\n                    <p>PHM adherence was associated with decreased, and not increased, frequency of alcohol consumption by adults aged 50\u201396 years in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n                  <\/sec>","DOI":"10.24095\/hpcdp.46.1.03","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,19]],"date-time":"2025-12-19T15:12:56Z","timestamp":1766157176000},"page":"23-34","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Associations between adherence to public health measures and changes in alcohol consumption among middle-aged and older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic: the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA)"],"prefix":"10.24095","volume":"46","author":[{"given":"Kiara","family":"Pannozzo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Research Methods, Evidence, and Impact, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lauren E.","family":"Griffith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Research Methods, Evidence, and Impact, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aaron","family":"Jones","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Research Methods, Evidence, and Impact, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vanessa","family":"De Rubeis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Research Methods, Evidence, and Impact, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada"},{"name":"Centre for Surveillance and Applied Research, Public Health Agency of Canada, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jayati","family":"Khattar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Research Methods, Evidence, and Impact, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Margaret","family":"de Groh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Surveillance and Applied Research, Public Health Agency of Canada, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ying","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Surveillance and Applied Research, Public Health Agency of Canada, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jacqueline","family":"McMillan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Geriatric Medicine, Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Laura N.","family":"Anderson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Research Methods, Evidence, and Impact, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"10188","container-title":["Health Promotion and Chronic Disease Prevention in Canada"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/public-health\/services\/reports-publications\/health-promotion-chronic-disease-prevention-canada-research-policy-practice\/vol-46-no-1-2026\/associations-adherence-public-health-measures-changes-alcohol-consumption-adults-covid-19-pandemic-canadian-longitudinal-study-aging.html","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,19]],"date-time":"2025-12-19T15:12:57Z","timestamp":1766157177000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/public-health\/services\/reports-publications\/health-promotion-chronic-disease-prevention-canada-research-policy-practice\/vol-46-no-1-2026\/associations-adherence-public-health-measures-changes-alcohol-consumption-adults-covid-19-pandemic-canadian-longitudinal-study-aging.html"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,1]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1"},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.24095\/hpcdp.46.1.03","archive":["Internet Archive"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["2368-738X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2368-738X","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,1]]}}}
