To assess perceptions on alcohol misuse and addiction among medical students prior to in-depth training in order to determine areas of the curriculum that need to be reshaped or focused on.
A questionnaire assessment of first- and second-year medical students' perceptions of alcohol misuse.
Students had some misconceptions about current alcohol misuse rates, including a perception that addiction is common among health professionals, that the under-25s had the fastest increasing rate of alcohol addiction and that British women had a more rapidly increasing rate of alcohol addiction than British men.
Encouragingly, students overwhelmingly felt that alcohol addiction was something to which they could make a difference. It highlights that early education about alcohol misuse is important in terms of teaching students how to recognize hazardous and harmful drinkers and how to manage them.
在对医学生进行深入的酒精滥用和成瘾培训之前，评估他们对这些问题的认知，以便确定需要调整或重点关注课程的哪些领域。
对医学生进行问卷调查，评估他们对酒精滥用的认知。
学生对当前酒精滥用率存在一些误解，包括认为成瘾在医疗专业人员中很常见，25 岁以下人群的酒精成瘾率增长最快，以及英国女性的酒精成瘾率增长快于英国男性。
令人鼓舞的是，学生们普遍认为他们可以对此类问题产生影响。这表明，早期开展关于酒精滥用的教育，教授学生如何识别危险和有害饮酒者以及如何管理他们，非常重要。
