Problem-drinking among university students is common and poses serious health-related risks. Therefore, identifying and addressing associated factors is important.
A large cross-sectional online-survey with 12,914 university students from Berlin was conducted from November 2016 to August 2017. Relative-risk- and correlation-analysis was used to identify factors associated with problem-drinking and regular heavy-drinking. Independent -tests compared impulsivity and personality traits, chi-square-tests compared drinking motives between risk- and non-risk-drinkers.
Male gender, tobacco-smoking, illegal substance use, impulsivity and various sociodemographic and psychosocial variables were significantly related to problem/heavy-drinking. Extraversion was a risk, conscientiousness and agreeableness were protective factors. Drinking-motives did not differ significantly between risk- and non-risk-drinkers. Generally, the main drinking-motives were to feel elated, relax and social purposes.
The identified markers and related problem behaviors may serve as a tool to enhance the identification of student subgroups at risk for problem/heavy-drinking, and hence improve targeted health-intervention-programs.
大学生中普遍存在问题性饮酒行为，且会对健康造成严重风险。因此，识别和解决相关因素非常重要。
本研究于 2016 年 11 月至 2017 年 8 月期间采用大型横断面在线调查方式，对来自柏林的 12914 名大学生进行了研究。采用相对风险和相关性分析来识别与问题性饮酒和规律性重度饮酒相关的因素。独立检验用于比较冲动性和人格特质，卡方检验用于比较风险饮酒者和非风险饮酒者的饮酒动机。
男性性别、吸烟、使用非法药物、冲动性以及各种社会人口学和心理社会变量与问题性/重度饮酒显著相关。外向性是风险因素，尽责性和宜人性是保护因素。风险饮酒者和非风险饮酒者的饮酒动机没有显著差异。一般来说，主要的饮酒动机是感到高兴、放松和社交目的。
确定的标志物和相关问题行为可以作为识别存在问题性/重度饮酒风险的学生亚组的工具，从而改善有针对性的健康干预计划。
