Campus alcohol policy has been associated with student alcohol consumption in numerous studies. However, more information is required to assess the extent to which school policy affects student drinking behavior; especially when both individual-level sociodemographic characteristics of students and area-level characteristics of college campuses are controlled for. Thus, this paper explores the association between campus alcohol policy and student alcohol consumption among a nationally representative sample of college students in South Korea, while controlling for both individual and area-level characteristics.
We surveyed and analyzed the data of 4592 students from 82 colleges. Multilevel (hierarchical) linear modeling was used to identify the association between campus alcohol policy and alcohol consumption levels, measured via the AUDIT-C (Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test - Consumption). Controlled individual-level characteristics included sex, year level, major, GPA (grade point average), pocket money, smoking status, stress level, depressive thoughts, suicidal thoughts, and number of clubs/organizations. Controlled area-level characteristics included college type, number of students, number of faculty members, number of workers/administrators, and region.
Compared to students unaware of their school's campus alcohol policy, students who self-reported that their campuses allow drinking in outdoor spaces (β = 0.755 p = 0.010) or in all areas (β = 0.820, p = 0.044) had higher AUDIT-C scores. Students attending schools with a large number of students, males, freshmen, students with low GPA, students with high amounts of pocket money, and smokers also had higher alcohol consumption scores relative to their peers. Alcohol education experience in the form of lectures, mail, and/or campaigns were not associated with student alcohol consumption levels.
Our results suggest an association between self-reported campus alcohol policy and student alcohol consumption. College educators and administrators must be aware that relative to students unaware of their school's campus alcohol policy, students at colleges that allow drinking in outdoor spaces or all areas consume higher amounts of alcohol than their peers; even when area-level factors are controlled for.

许多研究表明，校园酒精政策与学生饮酒行为有关。然而，需要更多的信息来评估学校政策对学生饮酒行为的影响程度；尤其是在控制了学生个人层面的社会人口特征和大学校园区域层面的特征之后。因此，本文探讨了韩国全国代表性大学生样本中校园酒精政策与学生饮酒之间的关联，同时控制了个人和区域层面的特征。
我们对 82 所大学的 4592 名学生进行了调查和分析。使用多层次（分层）线性模型来确定校园酒精政策与通过 AUDIT-C（酒精使用障碍识别测试 - 消费）测量的饮酒水平之间的关联。控制的个人层面特征包括性别、年级、专业、平均绩点（绩点）、零用钱、吸烟状况、压力水平、抑郁想法、自杀想法以及俱乐部/组织的数量。控制的区域层面特征包括学院类型、学生人数、教职员工人数、工人/管理人员人数和地区。
与不知道学校校园酒精政策的学生相比，报告自己的学校允许在户外空间（β=0.755，p=0.010）或所有区域（β=0.820，p=0.044）饮酒的学生 AUDIT-C 得分更高。与同龄人相比，就读于学生人数多、男生、新生、绩点低、零用钱多、吸烟的学生饮酒得分也更高。以讲座、邮件和/或活动形式进行的酒精教育经验与学生饮酒水平无关。
我们的结果表明，自我报告的校园酒精政策与学生饮酒之间存在关联。高校教育工作者和管理人员必须意识到，与不知道学校校园酒精政策的学生相比，允许在户外空间或所有区域饮酒的学校的学生比同龄人饮酒量更大；即使控制了区域层面的因素。
