Scarce research has examined the combined effect of mental health difficulties and demographic risk factors such as freshman status and Greek affiliation in understanding college problem drinking. The current study is interested in looking at the interaction among freshman status, Greek affiliation, and mental health difficulties.
Undergraduate students (N = 413) from a private and public Midwestern university completed a large online survey battery between January 2009 and April 2013. Data from both schools were aggregated for the analyses.
After accounting for gender, age, and school type, the three-way interaction indicated that the highest drinking levels were reported in freshman students who reported a history of mental health problems although were not involved in Greek life.
Findings are discussed in the context of perceived social norms, as well as alcohol-related screenings and intervention opportunities on college campuses.
在理解大学生问题饮酒方面,鲜有研究考察心理健康问题与诸如新生身份和加入兄弟会或姐妹会等人口统计学风险因素的综合影响。当前研究旨在探讨新生身份、加入兄弟会或姐妹会情况与心理健康问题之间的相互作用。
2009年1月至2013年4月期间,来自一所中西部私立和公立大学的本科生(N = 413)完成了一项大型在线综合调查。两所学校的数据汇总后进行分析。
在考虑了性别、年龄和学校类型后,三因素交互作用表明,报告有心理健康问题史但未参与兄弟会或姐妹会生活的新生饮酒水平最高。
研究结果将在感知社会规范以及大学校园酒精相关筛查和干预机会的背景下进行讨论。
