Many university administrators, counselors, students, and health primary care providers are well aware of the programs associated with alcohol abuse and problem drinking in college students.
So we have determined to find effective policies and programs to prevent or reduce alcohol consumption, in addition to decreasing alcohol-related problems.
This is an exploratory study to describe drinking patterns and problem drinking in college students. And the other objective is to describe the prevalence of drinking styles, the quantity of alcohol getting drunken and the frequency of drunkenness in the previous 12 months prior to the survey, and to examine the patterns of how various drinking behaviors are different by drinking style.
Subjects were selected samples through systematic random procedure from 4 universities in Seoul and around. Data were collected through the self-administered survey conducted in respondent’s class May, 2000.
We used the scale for measuring problem drinking NAST(1), AUDIT, and The Scale of National Alcohol Survey.
The selected samples included 620 men and 464 women. The year prevalence of drinking for both sexes was 95.7%. And the month prevalence of drinking was 92.2%.
The drinking style, men had a higher rate of frequent heavy drinkers. The results indicated that males drank more and more frequently, and had more episodes of drunkenness and more accepting of drinking than females. The amount of alcohol becoming intoxicated, the frequency and quantity of alcohol consumed in the month, and the frequency of intoxicated were significantly different by drinking styles in both sexes.
A substantial alcohol-related problems were reported by social drinkers as well as heavy drinkers. A problem drinking was determined by 12.04% of individual and family factors, 17.20% of psychological factors, 15.45% of social-support factors, and 12.28% of socio-cultural factors.
The data clearly suggest that collegiate’s alcohol use is prevalent and serious.
It will be necessary to discuss about adequate policy and education program to be able to curb collegiate’s alcohol abuse.
So efforts to prevent alcohol problems in college students can take many different forms and can target vary different audiences at various levels of involvement with drinking alcohol-from delaying the first drink in abstainers, to preventing more serious problems from occurring in students who already drink heavily and may be experiencing at least minimal problems as a result.
We suggested the preventive model of problem drinking in this paper, that was applied with social learning theory, social marketing model, and culture of organization model.
