Drinking behavior among Muslim college students in the United States is unknown. To obtain estimates and examine risk factors, the authors conducted secondary data analysis of the public access database from the 2001 Harvard School of Public Health College Alcohol Study. Two variables were associated with drinking-religious activities, which were protective against drinking, and parental approval of drinking, which was a risk factor for drinking. Although American Muslim students had a low rate of drinking in the past year (46.6%) compared to their U.S. college counterparts, they had a higher rate of alcohol consumption compared to their counterparts in predominately Muslim countries.
美国穆斯林大学生的饮酒行为尚不明确。为了获得相关估计并研究风险因素，作者对2001年哈佛公共卫生学院大学生酒精研究的公共访问数据库进行了二次数据分析。有两个变量与饮酒相关——宗教活动，它对饮酒有预防作用；以及父母对饮酒的认可，这是饮酒的一个风险因素。尽管过去一年里，美国穆斯林学生的饮酒率（46.6%）低于美国其他大学生，但与主要是穆斯林国家的同龄人相比，他们的酒精消费率更高。
