The purpose of this study was to determine the reliability of longitudinally reporting age at first drink (AFD), and to test AFD and setting of first drink (SFD) as predictors of collegiate problem drinking.
338 first-year college students were interviewed multiple times during their first academic year, from May 2011 through August 2012.
AFD, SFD, and problem drinking were measured using the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) during the first year of college. Bivariate analysis and parsimonious multivariate linear regression model were conducted.
62% of respondents were inconsistent in reporting AFD over time. Social SFD was the strongest independent predictor for higher AUDIT scores (b = 4.74, 95% confidence interval; 1.91, 7.57; p = .002).
Findings suggest caution should be used in relying upon using AFD as a sole predictor of problem drinking. SFD may be a complementary measure to identify students at high risk of collegiate problem drinking.
本研究旨在确定纵向报告首次饮酒年龄（AFD）的可靠性，并测试AFD和首次饮酒场景（SFD）作为大学生问题饮酒预测指标的情况。
2011年5月至2012年8月期间，338名大学一年级学生在其第一学年接受了多次访谈。
在大学一年级时，使用酒精使用障碍识别测试（AUDIT）对AFD、SFD和问题饮酒进行测量。进行了双变量分析和简约多元线性回归模型分析。
62%的受访者在不同时间报告的AFD不一致。社交场合的SFD是AUDIT得分较高的最强独立预测指标（b = 4.74，95%置信区间；1.91，7.57；p = .002）。
研究结果表明，在将AFD作为问题饮酒的唯一预测指标时应谨慎。SFD可能是识别有大学生问题饮酒高风险学生的一项补充指标。
