This study examined prevalence and predictors of alcohol consumption and alcohol problems in a sample of medical students in Vietnam.
A cross-sectional survey using a multi-stage cluster sampling approach was conducted in 2007 in two universities in Vietnam. The students (n = 619, 100% response rate) completed questionnaires based on the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test. A score of >or=8 defined presence of alcohol problems. Data analyses adjusted for the cluster sampling approach.
Overall 65.5% of students had drunk alcohol during the previous year while alcohol problems were detected in 12.5%. Male students, students who reported that their family members drank and students who reported that their flat mates were drinking were more likely to be current drinkers. Male students were 14.3 times more likely to have an Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test score of >or=8 compared with female students (P = 0.005).
Intervention programs focusing on male students and their social environment are warranted. As Vietnamese society rapidly modernises prevention programs for female students may also be needed.
本研究旨在调查越南医学生群体中饮酒和酒精相关问题的发生率和预测因素。
本研究采用多阶段聚类抽样方法，于 2007 年在越南的两所大学进行了横断面调查。学生（n=619，应答率 100%）完成了基于酒精使用障碍识别测试的问卷。得分>或=8 定义为存在酒精问题。数据分析调整了聚类抽样方法。
总体而言，65.5%的学生在过去一年中饮酒，12.5%的学生存在酒精相关问题。男性学生、报告家庭成员饮酒的学生和报告室友饮酒的学生更有可能成为当前饮酒者。与女性学生相比，男性学生的酒精使用障碍识别测试得分>或=8 的可能性高 14.3 倍（P=0.005）。
需要针对男性学生及其社会环境制定干预计划。由于越南社会迅速现代化，可能也需要针对女学生制定预防计划。
