本文的目的是研究新冠肺炎疫情期间压力相关因素和社会参与的变化如何影响大学一年级学生饮酒情况的变化。我们使用了北卡罗来纳州一所大型公立大学439名一年级学生（18-20岁）在新冠肺炎疫情开始之前（2019年10月至2020年2月）和之后（2020年6月/7月）的数据。我们评估了饮酒和酗酒的患病率和天数的变化。我们在控制了学生大流行前的饮酒、社会参与和人口统计学特征后，估计了新冠肺炎压力源/压力（工作减少、健康、远程学习困难、感知压力）和社会参与（感知来自朋友的社会支持、社会孤立和社会距离）之间的关联。我们发现，在过去30天内，饮酒和酗酒的流行率分别从54.2%下降到46.0%和35.5%下降到24.6%;使用天数没有显著变化。减少主要与社会参与减少有关。在2019冠状病毒病压力源/压力中，只有远程学习的挑战与大流行前已经饮酒的人的饮酒量增加有关。在那些支持使用物质来科普的人中，饮酒增加得更多，而饮酒与弹性应对无关。除非在大流行期间形成新的饮酒习惯，否则随着社交距离措施的取消，大学生饮酒量的减少不太可能持续。大学可能希望针对那些因增加饮酒而对压力做出反应的学生进行干预，部分是通过解决远程学习的困难。
The aim of this article is to study how Covid-19 stress-related factors and changes in social engagement during the pandemic contributed to changes in alcohol use among first-year college students. We used data on 439 first-year students (ages 18–20) at a large public university in North Carolina both before (October 2019 to February 2020) and after (June/July 2020) the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. We evaluated changes in prevalence and days of alcohol use and binge drinking. We estimated the associations between Covid-19 stressors/stress (work reductions, health, distanced learning difficulties, perceived stress) and social engagement (perceived social support from friends, social isolation, and social distancing) after controlling for students’ pre-pandemic alcohol use, social engagement, and demographic characteristics. We found that the prevalence of alcohol use and binge drinking in the past 30 days decreased from 54.2% to 46.0% and 35.5% to 24.6%, respectively; days of use did not change significantly. The decreases were primarily associated with reductions in social engagement. Among Covid-19 stressors/stress, only challenges with distance learning were associated with higher alcohol use among those who were already drinking prior to the pandemic. Drinking increased more among those who endorsed using substances to cope, while drinking was not associated with resilient coping. Unless new drinking habits are formed during the pandemic, decreases in alcohol use among college students are unlikely to be sustained as social distancing measures are removed. Colleges may want to target interventions to students who have responded to stress with increased alcohol use, partly by addressing difficulties with distance learning.
