During adolescence and youth there are relevant changes in the consolidation, gain or loss of consumption habits and lifestyles and the family factors has a fundamental role to development these habits. The study of the consumption of toxins, such as alcohol intake, is crucial at this stage due to the repercussions that said consumption presents in adulthood. Therefore, the objective of our study was to evaluate the associations between alcohol consumption patterns and related family factors (family functioning, family history of alcohol consumption) in Spanish university students.
Observational, descriptive, cross-sectional, multicenter study, carried out in first-year university students from 11 Spanish universities. Through an online questionnaire, alcohol consumption (risky consumption and intensive consumption or binge drinking), family functioning and history of alcohol in the family were evaluated. Risky alcohol consumption and binge drinking were assessed using the AUDIT test, and family functioning was assessed using the family APGAR questionnaire. A descriptive analysis of the data was performed, as well as the Chi-Square test and Student's T-Test, and non-conditional logistic regression models were carried out to examine this association.
The prevalence of risky alcohol consumption identified in the 10,167 respondents was 16.9% (95% CI = 16.2-17.6), and that of BD was 48.8% (95% CI = 47.9-48.8). There is a significant association between risky alcohol consumption and family functioning in students of both sexes, with greater consumption in the face of severe dysfunctional support (men OR = 1.72; p < 0.001 and women OR = 1.74; p < 0.001) and family history of consumption (p = 0.005). Regarding the binge drinking pattern, no statistically significant differences were observed.
Risky alcohol consumption in university students is associated with dysfunctional family support, unlike the binge drinking pattern, where there is no such association. The findings of this study show the importance of creating prevention programs focused on the family approach in university students, which include alcohol screening in the population with a family history of this substance, and greater social support from health services.
在青少年和青年时期，消费习惯和生活方式的巩固、获得或丧失会发生重大变化，家庭因素对这些习惯的形成起着至关重要的作用。由于这种消费在成年后会产生影响，因此研究酒精等毒素的消费模式及其相关的家庭因素（家庭功能、家庭饮酒史）至关重要。
这是一项在 11 所西班牙大学的一年级大学生中进行的观察性、描述性、横断面、多中心研究。通过在线问卷评估了酒精消费（风险性饮酒和密集性饮酒或 binge drinking）、家庭功能和家庭饮酒史。使用 AUDIT 测试评估风险性饮酒和 binge drinking，使用家庭 APGAR 问卷评估家庭功能。对数据进行了描述性分析，并进行了卡方检验和学生 t 检验，还进行了非条件逻辑回归模型来检验这种关联。
在 10167 名应答者中，识别出的风险性饮酒的流行率为 16.9%（95%CI=16.2-17.6），BD 的流行率为 48.8%（95%CI=47.9-48.8）。在男女学生中，风险性饮酒与家庭功能之间存在显著关联，在面对严重功能失调的支持时，饮酒量更大（男性 OR=1.72；p<0.001 和女性 OR=1.74；p<0.001）和有饮酒史的家庭（p=0.005）。关于 binge drinking 模式，没有观察到统计学上的显著差异。
与 binge drinking 模式不同，大学生的风险性饮酒与功能失调的家庭支持有关。这项研究的结果表明，在大学生中创建以家庭为导向的预防计划非常重要，其中包括对有这种物质家族史的人群进行酒精筛查，并增加来自卫生服务部门的社会支持。
