This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. college environment presents risk of alcohol consumption and related consequences, with more than half of full-time college students reporting alcohol use in the past month and a third engaging in binge drinking (4 + drinks (females)/5+ drinks (males); National Survey on Drug Use and Health [NSDUH], 2018). U.S. college students that identify as Hispanic/Latinx have grown in volume, representing nearly 1 in 5 college students (College Enrollment Statistics, 2022; U.S. Department of Education, 2019). There is indication that Hispanic adolescents experience unique cultural, peer, and family risk factors for alcohol use and related consequences (Goldbach et al., 2015; Jacobs et al., 2016; Segura et al., 2003; Zamboanga et al., 2009). However, there remain unanswered questions on the precise nature of these influences for Hispanic emerging adults in the college environment (Lui & Zamboanga, 2019; Zamboanga et al., 2014). The aims of this scoping review were to examine the literature among Hispanic U.S. college student alcohol use and related consequences for: (1) cultural, peer, and family predictors; and (2) demographic variance by sex, gender, and ethnic subgroup. From the 46 articles identified in PubMed and PsychINFO databases, 80.4% analyzed traditional Hispanic (pan-ethnic) samples and 19.5% analyzed Mexican American samples. Nine additional sources of gray literature identified themes of family and cultural stress among Hispanic college students. Highly acculturated individuals appeared to be more at risk for general consumption, which was characteristic of social motives. High enculturation was associated with drinking related consequences, which could be an indication that these students are more likely to view alcohol use as a coping or conformity motive. There was not full support for familism or first-generation status as protective constructs, and instead, other related components such as communication and religiousness emerged as relevant predictors. More acculturated females tend to be more vulnerable to high stress environments, and in turn binge drinking episodes. Lowered familism, increased traditional machismo (e.g., dominance and toughness), and elevated peer norms were predictors putting males more at risk, an indication that perceptiveness to the influences of peers and family depend on gender. No articles were able to specify variance in predictors by sex, and only articles of Mexican American subgroup were identified, which presents a clear gap for future research to fill.

Book excerpt: Binge drinking is a serious problem on college campuses, which is defined as five drinks on one occasion for men and four drinks on one occasion for women. The focus of this study is on student involvement on campus and how it affects binge drinking. The analysis examines predictors of college binge drinking through a social learning theoretical framework with the intention that the findings can be used to help colleges and universities prevent this dangerous drinking behavior. A logistic analysis of the predictors selected from the Harvard School of Public Health College Alcohol Study (2001) supports the promotion of campus activities and involvement in student organizations as preventative measures for binge drinking, as well as identifies several student populations at high risk for binge drinking. The findings of this study increases understanding of college binge drinking, has implications for possible intervention programs for campuses and future research, and supports Akers's social learning theory for understanding deviant behavior.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract. Binge drinking, a form of excessive alcohol consumption, is a behavior most common among college students worldwide. Past research has shown this practice to have many negative consequences as well as changing fads and trends. Objective. The purpose of this study was to assess the individual and environmental characteristics that affect excessive alcohol consumption behaviors and trends through the framework of the Theory of Planned Behavior. Participants. A total of 445 undergraduate students from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse participated in the study in March-April of 2014. Participants completed surveys consisting of demographic items as well as items related to alcohol consumption, Theory of Planned Behavior constructs, self-efficacy, and social belonging. Methods. Data were analyzed using logistic regression and analysis of variance. Results. Results indicated a significant correlation between binge drinking and subjective norm, positive attitude, self-efficacy, and behavioral intention to binge drink. Conclusions. Future binge drinking interventions should target 21-22-year-old college students through strategies related to changing perceptions regarding social approval and expectations, attitudes toward binge drinking, and intentions to binge drink.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 2 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A central feature of the U.S. Department of Education's Higher Education Center for Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Violence Prevention is the promotion of multiple prevention strategies that affect campus and surrounding community environments as a whole and can, thereby, have a large-scale effect on the entire campus community. In outlining the environmental management approach, the Higher Education Center has identified five areas of strategic intervention that are effective in altering the environment with respect to alcohol and other drug abuse: (1) Offer substance-free social, extracurricular, and public service options; (2) Create a health-promoting normative environment; (3) Limit availability of alcohol and other drugs; (4) Restrict the marketing and promotion of alcohol and other drugs both on and off campus; and (5) Develop and enforce campus policies and enforce laws to address high-risk and illegal alcohol and other drug abuse and violence. Implementing effective environmental strategies will be more likely if there is strong presidential leadership; a campus-wide task force that includes a broad spectrum of faculty, staff, and students; engagement with the community through a campus and community coalition; and the active participation of college officials in public policy debates, especially at the state level. The Center offers an integrated array of services to help colleges implement these prevention strategies. This paper describes a research that shows how environmental prevention strategies can influence drinking among college students. It also describes PartySafe@Cal, a health services program at the University of California Berkeley that promotes environmental prevention efforts and educates students about alcohol risk management. A list of resources is included.

Maccombs and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The misuse of alcohol and other drugs has a significant negative impact worldwide, in the United States, and particularly among vulnerable young adults. Undergraduate college students face additional risks for alcohol or drug use due to the significant transitions occurring in their personal, social, and environmental lives. The consequences of alcohol or drug use to the college student population and relevant stakeholders are well documented. To prevent and mitigate the negative consequences of college students’ alcohol or drug use, it is essential to understand factors that predict those behaviors. More specifically, it imperative to understand factors that predict alcohol or drug use that results in negative consequences, or problematic use. Psychological distress and impulsivity have been identified as predictors of other high-risk behaviors among college students, but their predictability of problematic alcohol or drug use among the undergraduate college student is not yet fully understood. Gaps in the literature regarding the psychological distress, impulsivity, and substance-using behaviors among this population include a lack of focus on drugs other than alcohol, a lack of differentiation between problematic and non-problematic use, and significant variability in the definitions and operationalization of alcohol and drug use related variables. The primary purpose of the present study with 481 participants was to investigate whether psychological distress (i.e., depression, anxiety, and stress) and impulsivity among undergraduate college students between the ages of 18 and 25 could predict problematic alcohol or drug use. A secondary aim of this study was to determine whether there was a relationship between problematic alcohol use and problematic drug use. Findings indicated that impulsivity was predictive of problematic alcohol use, and depression and impulsivity were predictive of problematic drug use. Neither anxiety nor stress were predictive of problematic alcohol or drug use among this sample. Findings also indicated a statistically significant small to moderate association between problematic alcohol use and problematic drug use.
