          Abstract

          OBJETIVO: identificar a prevalência e os preditores para o uso problemático de álcool entre estudantes universitários da área da saúde. Estudo transversal, realizado com 1.497 universitários de 11 cursos da saúde, na região metropolitana de Cuiabá-MT, Brasil. MÉTODO: utilizou-se o Teste para Identificação de Problemas Relacionados ao Uso de Álcool. Aplicou-se a regressão de Poisson e estimou-se a Razão de Prevalência. RESULTADOS: a prevalência de uso problemático de álcool foi de 23,6%. Identificou-se consumo problemático de álcool entre homens, solteiros, que moravam sozinhos, que se consideravam agressivos e que usavam o álcool em momentos festivos para relaxar, ter prazer e melhorar a interação social. Aquele que morava com cônjuge e/ou filhos, estava no 2º ano do curso, não percebeu mudanças no padrão de consumo na faculdade; o não participante de atléticas, que se considerava calmo e introvertido e bebia por problemas ou "nervosismo" apresentou uso problemático de álcool menos frequente. CONCLUSÃO: a busca por socialização influencia o uso de álcool entre universitários. Sugere-se que a manutenção do padrão de consumo anterior ao início da graduação os protege. Os modelos são multideterminados e requerem de instituições de ensino, entidades estudantis e equipes de saúde ações oportunas.

          OBJECTIVE: to identify the prevalence and predictors for the problematic use of alcohol among university students in the health area. Cross-sectional study, conducted with 1,497 university students from 11 health courses, in the metropolitan region of Cuiabá-MT, Brazil. METHOD: The Test for Identification of Problems Related to the Use of Alcohol was used. Poisson regression was applied and the Prevalence Ratio was estimated. RESULTS: the prevalence of problematic alcohol use was 23.6%. Problematic alcohol consumption was identified among men, single, who lived alone, who considered themselves aggressive and who used alcohol in festive moments to relax, have pleasure and improve social interaction. The one who lived with spouse and/or children, was in the 2nd year of the course, did not notice changes in the pattern of consumption in college; the non-participant of athletics, who considered himself calm and introverted and drank for problems or "nervousness" presented less frequent problematic use of alcohol. CONCLUSION: the search for socialization influences the use of alcohol among university students. It is suggested that the maintenance of the consumption pattern prior to the beginning of graduation protects them. The models are multi-determined and require, from educational institutions, student entities and health teams, timely actions.

Se utilizó la prueba para identificar problemas relacionados con el consumo de alcohol. Se aplicó la regresión de Poisson y se estimó la razón de prevalencia. RESULTADOS: la prevalencia del consumo problemático de alcohol fue del 23,6%. El consumo problemático de alcohol se identificó entre hombres, personas solteras, que vivían solos, que se consideraban agresivos y que usaban alcohol en momentos festivos, para relajarse, disfrutar y mejorar la interacción social. El que vivía con un cónyuge y/o hijos, estaba en el segundo año del curso, no notó cambios en el patrón de consumo en la universidad; quien no participó en el deporte, quien se consideró tranquilo e introvertido y bebió debido a problemas o "nerviosismo" presentó protección para el uso de alcohol. CONCLUSIÓN: La búsqueda de la socialización influye en el consumo de alcohol entre los estudiantes universitarios. Se sugiere que mantener el patrón de consumo antes del comienzo de la graduación los protege. Los modelos son múltiples y requieren una acción oportuna por parte de las instituciones educativas, los cuerpos estudiantiles y los equipos de salud.

          Alcohol consumption among university students in Ireland and the United Kingdom from 2002 to 2014: a systematic review

          Background Alcohol is a leading cause of global suffering. Europe reports the uppermost volume of alcohol consumption in the world, with Ireland and the United Kingdom reporting the highest levels of binge drinking and drunkenness. Levels of consumption are elevated among university students. Thus, this literature review aims to summarise the current research on alcohol consumption among university students in the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom. Methods MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE and PsychInfo were systematically searched for literature from January 2002 until December 2014. Each database was searched using the following search pillars: alcohol, university student, Ireland or the United Kingdom and prevalence studies. Results Two thousand one hundred twenty eight articles were retrieved from electronic database searching. These were title searched for relevance. 113 full texts were retrieved and assessed for eligibility. Of these, 29 articles were deemed to meet inclusion criteria for the review. Almost two thirds of students reported a hazardous alcohol consumption score on the AUDIT scale. Over 20 % reported alcohol problems over their lifetime using CAGE while over 20 % exceed sensible limits each week. Noteworthy is the narrowing of the gender gap throughout the past decade. Conclusion This is the first review to investigate consumption patterns of university students in Ireland and the United Kingdom. A range of sampling strategies and screening tools are employed in alcohol research which preclude comparability. The current review provides an overview of consumption patterns to guide policy development.

            Alcohol drinking among college students: college responsibility for personal troubles

            Background One young adult in two has entered university education in Western countries. Many of these young students will be exposed, during this transitional period, to substantial changes in living arrangements, socialisation groups, and social activities. This kind of transition is often associated with risky behaviour such as excessive alcohol consumption. So far, however, there is little evidence about the social determinants of alcohol consumption among college students. We set out to explore how college environmental factors shape college students' drinking behaviour. Methods In May 2010 a web questionnaire was sent to all bachelor and master students registered with an important Belgian university; 7,015 students participated (participation = 39%). The survey looked at drinking behaviour, social involvement, college environmental factors, drinking norms, and positive drinking consequences. Results On average each student had 1.7 drinks a day and 2.8 episodes of abusive drinking a month. We found that the more a student was exposed to college environmental factors, the greater the risk of heavy, frequent, and abusive drinking. Alcohol consumption increased for students living on campus, living in a dormitory with a higher number of room-mates, and having been in the University for a long spell. Most such environmental factors were explained by social involvement, such as participation to the student folklore, pre-partying, and normative expectations. Conclusions Educational and college authorities need to acknowledge universities’ responsibility in relation to their students’ drinking behaviour and to commit themselves to support an environment of responsible drinking.

              Is marriage a buzzkill? A twin study of marital status and alcohol consumption.

              Married adults have consistently been found to drink less than their single or divorced counterparts. This correlation may not be causal, however, as people nonrandomly “select” into marriage and into alcohol use. The current study uses a sample of 2,425 same-sex twin pairs (1,703 MZ; 722 DZ) to control for genetic and shared environmental selection, thereby eliminating a great many third variable, alternative explanations to the hypothesis that marriage causes less drinking. Married twins were compared with their single, divorced, and cohabiting co-twins on drinking frequency and quantity. Married co-twins consumed fewer alcoholic beverages than their single or divorced co-twins, and drank less frequently than their single co-twins. Alcohol use patterns did not differ among married and cohabiting twins. These findings provide strong evidence that intimate relationships cause a decline in alcohol consumption.
