Book excerpt: Introduction: Energy drinks are part of a growing industry that targets the college population, among others, with aggressive marketing tactics, by promoting greater focus and more energy with their product consumption. Energy drinks are associated with a multitude of consequences, including emergency room visits and hospitalization. Additionally, they are linked with heavy drinking, poor academic outcomes, and drug use. The research on the consequences and behaviors associated with the mixing of alcohol and energy drinks and college students (AmEDs) is widespread; however, to date, a comprehensive literature review on the topic does not exist. Another gap in literature is the lack of information on the expectancies college students have regarding the consumption of energy drinks and how that impacts their use. Both of the aforementioned issues are the subject matter of this dissertation. Purpose: This alternative dissertation includes two separate studies. The first study was a systematic literature review, which was completed with the purpose of summarizing and identifying the gaps in literature regarding energy drinks and their use with alcohol among college students. The second study was a result of the first, where there was an evident gap in the literature, as there were no data on the energy drink expectancies of college students. Therefore, the purpose of the second study was to explore the energy drink expectancies of college students. Methods: (Study 1) The systematic literature review was completed using multiple academic search engines, including Academic Search Complete, ERIC, Medline, PsychInfo, PubMed, Web of Science, ProQuest, and Google Scholar databases. The article inclusion criteria were that the topical focus was on AmED consumption among United States undergraduate college students aged 18 to 25. (Study 2) An alcohol and drug use questionnaire that contained 74-items was used to assess energy drink expectancies of undergraduate college students (n=1,246), aged 18 to 25. The variance in past 30-day energy drink consumption accounted for by energy drink expectancies were determined by a multinomial logistic regression analysis. Further, to understand which expectancies predicted energy drink consumption, binary logistic regression analyses were conducted with each expectancy factor. Results: (Study 1) Of the 164 articles found in the search process, 35 met the inclusion criteria for the systematic literature review. The level of scientific rigor varied, as neither the response rates nor validity measures were included in the majority of articles. In addition, convenience samples, self-reported data, and single site samples were common. (Study 2) With regard to the cross-sectional study, the expectancy factors were found to account for 24.3% of the variance in past 30-day energy drink consumption. Further, four expectancy factors were found to be significantly related to energy drink consumption including Anxiety/Negative Physical Effects, Withdrawal, Energy Enhancement, and Social/Mood Enhancement. Conclusions: Results from the literature indicate that more scientific rigor needs to be utilized with future research. Specifically, collecting and reporting response rates and validity measures, as well as using randomized and more heterogeneous samples. Further, it fueled the cross-sectional study as there was a gap in the literature regarding energy drink expectancies of college students. The Anxiety/Negative Physical Effects expectancy was found to be the strongest overall expectancy and negative expectancy, while Energy Enhancement was the strongest positive expectancy. Based on the results of this study, practitioners should educate college students highlighting the negative outcomes associated with energy drink consumption, while correcting the misperceptions concerning the positive expectancies consumers have in an effort to curb consumption

Book excerpt: Energy drink consumption has continued to gain in popularity since the 1997 debut of Red Bull, the current leader in the energy drink market. Although energy drinks are targeted to young adult consumers, there has been little research regarding energy drink consumption patterns among college students in the United States. The purpose of this study was to determine energy drink consumption patterns among college students, prevalence and frequency of energy drink use for six situations, namely for insufficient sleep, to increase energy (in general), while studying, driving long periods of time, drinking with alcohol while partying, and to treat a hangover, and prevalence of adverse side effects and energy drink use dose effects among college energy drink users.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Energy drink consumption has become an increasing problem in the United States; the overconsumption of these products can lead to a myriad of health issues. Anxiety, increased heart rate, myocardial infarction, and death have been associated with consumption of energy drinks. With the health risks linked to energy drink consumption, understanding the use of these drinks is an important area of research. Few studies have reported on energy drink consumption patterns of college students as well as the perceptions of energy drinks on college campuses. It is important to understand the perceptions of energy drinks to assist in determining the reasoning behind the consumption of these drinks. This study used the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) as a conceptual framework to study college students’ energy drink consumption. The purpose of this study was to contribute to the increasing level of knowledge concerning college students and consumption of energy drinks using the TPB, which contains the constructs of attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and intention. The goal of the research was to further understand the role of energy drink consumption in the college student population. Students in this study (N = 629) completed an electronic questionnaire during August 2015. Results indicated that 74.2% of participants had consumed an energy drink at some point during their life, while 47.1% had consumed an energy drink in the past 12 months. Only 2.5% of participants drank energy drinks daily and 37% reported consuming energy drinks once a month. The largest group of participants (32.4%) reported 13-15 years of age as the first time they consumed energy drinks. Males were more likely to consume energy drinks than females. Logistic regression determined the constructs of attitude, perceived behavioral control, and intention were significant predictors of energy drink consumption. This indicated that students’ attitude, perceived behavioral control, and intention predicted the behavior of consuming energy drinks in the past 12 months. The results of this study may be utilized to address college student engagement in adverse health behaviors, such as the consumption of energy drinks.

Book excerpt: The purposes of this study were: To assess factors that influence energy drink consumptions among college students, to analyze the reasons behind consuming energy drinks as well as the reasons for not consuming them, and to evaluate the participants' knowledge regarding energy drinks' ingredients, safety, and side effects. A total of 417 undergraduate students who registered in 101 general education classes during the Fall 2013 semester at the departments of Health Education, Kinesiology, and Nutrition at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale participated in the study. Energy drink use was associated with the number of the paid employment hours (p= .000). Gender also played a significant role, with a larger proportion of females than males drinking them mixed with alcohol (p= .005). Of students who consumed energy drinks, a substantial number drank them without alcohol before age 17 (32.8 percent; n= 39) and 82.4 percent (n= 96) before age 19 drank them with alcohol. Energy drink consumers were more likely to engage in risky behaviors such as smoking and drinking alcohol (p =.000). Also, the consumers perceived them as safer than those who did not use them (p= .000), and were less knowledgeable about side effects (p= .000). The study's findings suggest directions for health education and policymaking regarding energy drinks.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 657 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifteen years ago, Jeffrey Jensen Arnett proposed emerging adulthood as a new life stage at ages 18-29, one distinct from both the adolescence that precedes it and the young adulthood that eventually follows. Rather than marrying and becoming parents in their early 20s, most people in developed countries now postpone these transitions until at least their late 20s, spending these years in self-focused explorations as they try out different possibilities in their education, careers, and relationships. Since Arnett proposed his theory of emerging adulthood in 2000, it has turned into a full-fledged academic field, and the ideas have been applied in practical areas as well, such as mental health and education. The Oxford Handbook of Emerging Adulthood brings together for the first time the wealth of theory and research that has developed in this new and burgeoning field. It includes chapters by many prominent scholars on a wide range of topics, such as brain development, relations with friends, relations with parents, expectations for marriage, sexual relationships, media use, substance use and abuse, and resilience. The chapters both summarize the existing research and point the way to new prospects for research in the years to come.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Although consumption of mixed alcohol energy drinks is increasing in popularity, existing research on the topic is limited and there is a need for more widespread studies of the prevalence and the expectations associated with consumption of this class of beverages. As such, anonymous questionnaires were administered to 744 students at four California State University, Long Beach campus locations to measure prevalence and expectations associated with consumption of mixed drinks by college students. Results demonstrate that a significant number of respondents reported regular consumption of mixed alcohol energy drinks, risky drinking behavior, and expectations that they would be able to consume more alcohol when consuming this combination of beverages. The findings demonstrate the need for increased student education about the risks associated with mixed alcohol and energy drinks, as well as a need for primary care providers to screen and educate high-risk patients about consumption-related health consequences.
