Abstract

|
|
Objectives: To analyze gender differences in drinking behavior and the need for alcohol-reduction programs for university freshmen.
Methods: The subjects were 500 university freshmen selected from a city in Junbuk Province. Data were collected through a self-administered survey conducted in a classroom.
Results: The mean AUDIT-K score was 8.9 for men and 6.4 for women and there were significant differences in binge drinking, amount of moderate drinking, experience of alcohol-reduction education, and the decisional balance of drinking (p < 0.05).
Conclusions: This study suggests that alcohol-reduction programs lead to gender differences in drinking behavior among university freshmen. There are implications for university policy to decrease drinking behavior.
