Studying at university/college is associated with consumption of tobacco, alcohol and recreational drugs. This lifestyle may be associated with moving outside parental control. The aim of this study was to investigate differences between students living with their parents and students living alone or with peers regarding substance use in Belgium (Antwerp) and The Netherlands (Amsterdam).
The results of two separate surveys, one in Amsterdam (8,258 students) and one in Antwerp (27,210 students) were compared. Both questionnaires contained items about consumption of tobacco, alcohol and recreational drugs, and whether students considered their consumption as a problem and relevant confounders. Students living with their parents were compared with students living alone or with peers, using multivariate logistic regression analyses, separate for Antwerp and Amsterdam.
Consumption of tobacco was associated with living with peers. Similar patterns were shown for consumption of alcohol and recreational drugs. Living with peers rather than living with family or alone was a determinant of problematic substance use as well. Patterns were similar for both universities in two different countries.
Students living alone or with peers in Amsterdam and Antwerp may be at risk for problems concerning their consumption of recreational drugs. These findings may have implications for targeted prevention programs.
在大学学习与烟草、酒精和消遣性药物的消费有关。这种生活方式可能与脱离父母控制有关。本研究的目的是调查在比利时（安特卫普）和荷兰（阿姆斯特丹）与父母同住的学生和独自生活或与同龄人同住的学生在物质使用方面的差异。
比较了两项独立调查的结果，一项在阿姆斯特丹（8258名学生），一项在安特卫普（27210名学生）。两份问卷都包含关于烟草、酒精和消遣性药物消费的项目，以及学生是否认为他们的消费是一个问题和相关的混杂因素。使用多因素逻辑回归分析，将与父母同住的学生与独自生活或与同龄人同住的学生进行比较，安特卫普和阿姆斯特丹分别进行分析。
烟草消费与与同龄人同住有关。酒精和消遣性药物的消费也呈现出类似模式。与同龄人同住而非与家人同住或独自生活也是有问题的物质使用的一个决定因素。两个不同国家的两所大学的模式相似。
在阿姆斯特丹和安特卫普独自生活或与同龄人同住的学生在消遣性药物消费方面可能面临问题风险。这些发现可能对有针对性的预防项目有启示意义。
