Research has identified correlates (eg, drug use, risky sex, smoking) of using alcohol mixed with energy drinks (AMEDs). Few studies have investigated common mental health-related concerns (eg, depression, sleep).
Alcohol-using college students (n = 380 never used AMEDs, n = 180 used AMEDs) were recruited in the study during the fall 2011 semester.
The study examined demographics, substance use, depressive symptoms, and sleep problems in association with AMED use.
Multivariable logistic regression indicated that alcohol use severity (AOR = 1.24; 95% CI = 1.14+1.34), drug use severity (AOR = 1.20; 95% CI = 1.04-1.39), depressive symptoms (AOR = 1.06; 95% CI = 1.01-1.12), and smoking (AOR = 2.12; 95% CI = 1.22-3.68) were independently associated with AMED use; sleep problems were non-significant.
Administrators may consider policies regarding energy drink availability on campus, and campus health personnel may increase screening and education surrounding AMED use to reduce risks among students.
研究已确定了饮用酒精与能量饮料混合饮品（AMEDs）的相关因素（如药物使用、危险性行为、吸烟）。很少有研究调查过与常见心理健康相关的问题（如抑郁、睡眠）。
在2011年秋季学期招募了饮酒的大学生（n = 380从未使用过AMEDs，n = 180使用过AMEDs）参与该研究。
该研究考察了人口统计学特征、物质使用情况、抑郁症状以及与使用AMEDs相关的睡眠问题。
多变量逻辑回归表明，饮酒严重程度（比值比[AOR]=1.24；95%置信区间[CI]=1.14 - 1.34）、药物使用严重程度（AOR = 1.20；95% CI = 1.04 - 1.39）、抑郁症状（AOR = 1.06；95% CI = 1.01 - 1.12）和吸烟（AOR = 2.12；95% CI = 1.22 - 3.68）与使用AMEDs独立相关；睡眠问题无显著关联。
管理人员可考虑制定有关校园内能量饮料供应的政策，校园卫生人员可加强围绕AMEDs使用的筛查和教育，以降低学生中的风险。
