To examine patterns of binge drinking and changes in drinking patterns among Chinese university students.
Responses to an anonymous questionnaire were compared between a random sample of 411 second year Chinese undergraduate students in 2006 and 2,630 first year students from the previous year. Students reporting any symptoms of alcohol abuse were classified as alcohol abusers whereas those reporting repeated inability to curtail use were categorized as alcohol dependent.
After 1 year of university, greatly increased rates of past-month drinking of different degrees were found in both genders. Binge drinking among second year undergraduates was significantly correlated with male gender, living in a student residence hall, smoking, drinking to relieve stress, and having friends who frequently drank.
Alcohol misuse is a health hazard to Chinese students in a university environment. Proactive policies aimed at preventing harmful alcohol use should be considered by university authorities.
研究中国大学生酗酒模式和饮酒模式的变化。
对随机抽取的 2006 年 411 名大二中国本科生和前一年的 2630 名大一学生进行匿名问卷调查，比较其结果。将有任何酒精滥用症状的学生归为酒精滥用者，而将有反复无法控制饮酒的学生归为酒精依赖者。
经过 1 年的大学生活，无论男女，过去一个月饮酒程度不同的比例都大幅上升。大二本科生的酗酒行为与男性性别、住校、吸烟、借酒消愁以及有经常饮酒的朋友显著相关。
在大学校园环境中，酒精滥用对中国学生的健康构成威胁。高校当局应考虑采取积极的政策来预防有害的酒精使用。
