The main objective of the research was to examine the associations between problematic alcohol use, tobacco use and cannabis use among Czech and Slovak university students during the early COVID-19 pandemic. The research sample consisted of 1422 participants from the Czech Republic (CZ) and 1677 from the Slovak Republic (SK). The analyses included university students who drank alcohol in the past year (CZ: 1323 (93%); SK: 1526 (91%)). Regarding the analysed measures, the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) and its subscales, the Glover-Nilsson Smoking Behavioral Questionnaire (GN-SBQ) and the Cannabis Abuse Screening Test (CAST) were selected to identify substance-related behaviour. Age, gender and residence were included in the analyses as socio-demographic variables. Correlation and regression analyses were used to achieve the main objective of the research. The main results revealed that the use of tobacco and cannabis were positively associated with alcohol use disorders among Czech and Slovak university students. Additionally, males were more likely to report alcohol use disorders. In the Czech Republic, it was found that students living in dormitories were characterized by a lower AUDIT score. The opposite situation was found in the Slovak Republic. Czech and Slovak policy-makers are encouraged to develop alcohol use prevention programs for university students in line with these findings.
本研究的主要目的是调查捷克共和国和斯洛伐克大学生在 COVID-19 大流行早期期间与问题性饮酒、吸烟和使用大麻之间的关联。研究样本包括来自捷克共和国（CZ）的 1422 名参与者和来自斯洛伐克共和国（SK）的 1677 名参与者。分析包括过去一年饮酒的大学生（CZ：1323 名（93%）；SK：1526 名（91%））。针对分析措施，选择了酒精使用障碍识别测试（AUDIT）及其分量表、格洛弗-尼尔森吸烟行为问卷（GN-SBQ）和大麻滥用筛查测试（CAST）来识别与物质相关的行为。年龄、性别和居住地被纳入分析，作为社会人口统计学变量。使用相关和回归分析来实现研究的主要目标。主要结果表明，吸烟和使用大麻与捷克和斯洛伐克大学生的酒精使用障碍呈正相关。此外，男性更有可能报告酒精使用障碍。在捷克共和国，发现住在宿舍的学生的 AUDIT 评分较低。而在斯洛伐克共和国则发现了相反的情况。捷克和斯洛伐克的政策制定者被鼓励根据这些发现为大学生制定酒精使用预防计划。
