Alcohol consumption is common on college campuses and is associated with negative consequences. Factors associated with availability of alcohol are not completely understood.
To describe how proximity and density of alcohol outlets are associated with any drinking and binge drinking in students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Participants were full-time students enrolled in the Young Adults Eating and Active for Health, a multisite, randomized intervention that assessed a variety of health behaviors. Geographic information systems were used to calculate proximity and enumerate alcohol outlet densities. Participants were categorized as "drinkers" or "nondrinkers" based on self-reported alcohol consumption. Binge drinking was categorized as "non-binge drinker," "frequent binge drinker," and "excessive binge drinker." Analysis included regression, t tests, and chi-square tests. RESULTS. Among the 166 participants, 126 (76%) were drinkers. Among drinkers, 80 (63%) were either frequent or excessive binge drinkers. Drinkers lived closer to an alcohol outlet than non-drinkers (0.18 +/- 0.15 vs. 0.61 +/- 1.59 miles, respectively, P=0.005). Within a 1-mile walking radius, there were 47% more establishments for drinkers (153 +/- 47 compared to 104 +/- 55 outlets for nondrinkers, P<0.0001). At distances of 0.10-0.25 and 0.25-0.50 miles, twice as many outlets were available to drinkers (19 +/- 19 and 43 +/- 25, respectively) compared to nondrinkers (7 +/- 11 and 20 +/- 22, respectively), P<0.001. Proximity and density were hot associated with binge drinking frequency.
Drinkers lived closer to alcohol outlets and had significantly more outlets available at a distance of up to 1 mile. Municipal and college administrators could consider limiting alcohol license distributions in municipalities with high alcohol consumption.
饮酒在大学校园中很常见，且与负面后果相关。与酒精可获得性相关的因素尚未完全明确。
描述威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校学生饮酒场所的邻近程度和密度与任何饮酒行为及暴饮之间的关联。
参与者为参加“健康饮食与积极活动的年轻人”这一多地点随机干预项目的全日制学生，该项目评估了多种健康行为。利用地理信息系统计算邻近程度并列举饮酒场所密度。根据自我报告的饮酒情况，参与者被分为“饮酒者”或“非饮酒者”。暴饮被分为“非暴饮者”“频繁暴饮者”和“过度暴饮者”。分析包括回归分析、t检验和卡方检验。结果：在166名参与者中，126名（76%）为饮酒者。在饮酒者中，80名（63%）为频繁或过度暴饮者。饮酒者居住的地方比非饮酒者更靠近饮酒场所（分别为0.18±0.15英里和0.61±1.59英里，P = 0.005）。在1英里的步行半径内，饮酒者可前往的场所比非饮酒者多47%（分别为153±47个和104±55个场所，P<0.0001）。在距离0.10 - 0.25英里和0.25 - 0.50英里处，饮酒者可前往的场所数量是非饮酒者的两倍（分别为19±19个和43±25个，而非饮酒者分别为7±11个和20±22个），P<0.001。邻近程度和密度与暴饮频率无关。
饮酒者居住的地方更靠近饮酒场所，且在距离达1英里的范围内可前往的场所明显更多。市政和大学管理人员可考虑限制在酒精消费高的城市发放酒类销售许可证。
