The authors investigated the alcohol consumption trajectories among first-year university students.
A sample of 415 students attending a large university in Southwestern Ontario, Canada, was recruited.
Students completed a baseline questionnaire and 26 weekly brief Internet surveys assessing alcohol consumption from September 2006 to April 2007.
Findings indicated that alcohol consumption varies considerably as a function of time of the academic year. Overall trends indicate that students drink more heavily at the beginning of each semester and less during exam periods. Daily patterns indicate that most drinking occurs on weekends. The highest drinking days in the first academic year included Halloween, New Year's Eve, and St. Patrick's Day.
The present study provides evidence that periods of high and low alcohol consumption are contingent upon specific events and the time of the year.
作者调查了一年级大学生的饮酒轨迹。
在加拿大安大略省西南部的一所大型大学招募了 415 名学生作为样本。
学生们在 2006 年 9 月至 2007 年 4 月期间完成了一份基线问卷和 26 份每周简短的互联网调查,评估他们的饮酒情况。
研究结果表明,饮酒量随着学年时间的变化而有很大差异。总体趋势表明,学生在每学期开始时饮酒较多,考试期间饮酒较少。日常模式表明,大多数饮酒发生在周末。在第一学年,饮酒最多的日子包括万圣节、新年前夜和圣帕特里克节。
本研究提供了证据表明,高和低饮酒期取决于特定的事件和一年中的时间。
