This study examined alcohol consumption patterns and trends at a public university in the Northeast from 2002 to 2008.
Stratified random sampling was used to select undergraduate students enrolled in courses during spring semesters in 2002, 2004, 2006, and 2008.
Data were collected during regularly scheduled classes for 4 measures of alcohol consumption and 5 demographic categories using the Core Alcohol and Drug Survey.
Four groups showed significant increases in both frequency and volume of alcohol consumption-students who were female, over 21 years of age or over, living off-campus, or performing well academically. There were no decreasing trends for any demographic group. These results differ from national college health surveys, which have shown alcohol use remaining steady during this period.
Campus-specific trend data can provide unique perspectives and guide programming efforts. These trends suggest a need for new intervention strategies on this campus.
本研究调查了 2002 年至 2008 年东北地区一所公立大学的酒精消费模式和趋势。
采用分层随机抽样的方法,在 2002 年、2004 年、2006 年和 2008 年春季学期选入课程的本科生中进行选择。
使用核心酒精和毒品调查,在定期安排的课程中收集了 5 项人口统计类别和 4 项酒精消费措施的数据。
4 组学生的饮酒频率和饮酒量均显著增加,这些学生为女性、21 岁以上、不住校或学习成绩优异。没有任何一个人口统计群体的饮酒量呈下降趋势。这些结果与全国大学生健康调查不同,后者显示在此期间酒精使用量保持稳定。
特定于校园的趋势数据可以提供独特的视角,并指导规划工作。这些趋势表明,该校需要新的干预策略。
