Hosting non-university guests is common among college students, especially during sports and traditional party weekends. However, the effect of non-university guests - a common social reference group - on host-students' drinking behaviors is not well understood.
Data was drawn from a cross-sectional survey conducted at a public Midwestern university (N=2,951; Mage=20 years) from 2005-2007. Results: Participants who hosted non-university guests tended to be younger in age, male, of white racial background, members of athletic teams, had younger ages of drinking onset, and were more likely to reside off-campus as compared to non-hosts. Host-students also had significantly elevated risk for engaging in heavy party-related drinking while hosting non-university guests, and were more likely to report similar risky drinking behaviors among other party-attendees. Conclusions: Preliminary evidence from this study suggests that college-based prevention efforts would benefit from specifically targeting students who are more likely to host non-university guests.
接待非本校学生在大学生中很常见，尤其是在体育赛事和传统派对周末期间。然而，非本校学生这一常见的社会参照群体对作为主人的学生饮酒行为的影响尚未得到充分了解。
数据取自2005年至2007年在一所中西部公立大学进行的横断面调查（N = 2,951；年龄中位数 = 20岁）。结果：与不接待非本校学生的人相比，接待非本校学生的参与者往往年龄更小、为男性、具有白人种族背景、是运动队成员、饮酒起始年龄更小，且更有可能住在校外。作为主人的学生在接待非本校学生时，参与与派对相关的重度饮酒的风险也显著升高，并且更有可能在其他派对参与者中报告类似的危险饮酒行为。结论：本研究的初步证据表明，以大学为基础的预防措施若专门针对更有可能接待非本校学生的学生，将会有所助益。
