Given the prevalence of alcohol consumption and the relative infrequency of harm among college students, the authors sought to determine how most college students protect themselves from alcohol-related harm. An analysis of the aggregate National College Health Assessment data identified a cluster of personal protective behaviors that correlated with reduced risk when drinking. Further analysis revealed that nearly three-quarters of student drinkers regularly employ at least 1 protective behavior, and well over half of the students who use protective behaviors routinely employ 2 or more. In addition, the data reveal that student drinkers employ situational abstinence, with nearly 7 out of 10 students reporting that they sometimes or usually refrain from drinking alcohol when they socialize. The use of these protective behaviors is a strong predictor of safety and harm for college-student drinkers.
考虑到大学生饮酒的普遍性以及伤害相对较少发生，作者试图确定大多数大学生是如何保护自己免受与酒精相关的伤害的。对全国大学生健康评估汇总数据的分析确定了一组与饮酒时风险降低相关的个人保护行为。进一步分析表明，近四分之三的学生饮酒者经常采用至少一种保护行为，并且在采用保护行为的学生中，超过一半的人经常采用两种或更多种保护行为。此外，数据显示学生饮酒者会采取情境性戒酒措施，近十分之七的学生报告说他们在社交时有时或通常会避免饮酒。这些保护行为的使用是大学生饮酒者安全与伤害的有力预测指标。
