OBJECTIVE
Although binge drinking is commonly defined as the consumption of at least 5 drinks in 1 sitting for men and 4 for women, the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) defines binge drinking as the consumption of 6 or more drinks in 1 sitting for both men and women. This study examined the effect of using gender-specific binge drinking definitions on overall AUDIT scores.
PARTICIPANTS
Participants were 331 college men and 1224 college women.
METHODS
Participants completed a self-report questionnaire, which included the AUDIT.
RESULTS
Findings showed that defining binge drinking as 4 or more drinks for women, rather than 6 or more, does impact their AUDIT scores and could affect the percentage of women classified as hazardous users. Among men, AUDIT scores were unaffected by the use of a gender-specific definition of binge drinking.
CONCLUSIONS
Results suggest that the AUDIT might be underidentifying hazardous users among college women.
目的
尽管 binge drinking 通常被定义为男性一次性饮用至少 5 杯、女性一次性饮用至少 4 杯，但酒精使用障碍识别测试（AUDIT）将 binge drinking 定义为男性和女性一次性饮用 6 杯或以上。本研究旨在探讨使用性别特异性 binge drinking 定义对总体 AUDIT 评分的影响。
参与者
331 名男性大学生和 1224 名女性大学生。
方法
参与者完成了一份自我报告问卷，其中包括 AUDIT。
结果
研究结果表明，将女性 binge drinking 定义为 4 杯或以上而非 6 杯以上，确实会影响她们的 AUDIT 评分，并可能影响被归类为危险使用者的女性比例。对于男性，使用性别特异性 binge drinking 定义不会影响 AUDIT 评分。
结论
结果表明，AUDIT 可能会低估女大学生中的危险使用者。
