本研究调查了高风险样本（N = 377）在大学期间及以后大量饮酒与并发和潜在酒精相关问题的临床相关性。在研究框架内，大量饮酒和酒精相关问题的测量在横截面上显著相关，无论这些结构是如何运作的。然而，随着时间的推移，大量饮酒和酒精相关问题之间的关联程度大幅下降，大学时代之后的下降最为明显。尽管随着时间的推移，大量饮酒和酒精相关问题之间的关联在横断面上有所下降，但大学期间的大量饮酒显著且实质性地预测了10年后的酒精使用障碍。本文讨论了大学生重度饮酒评估和问题性饮酒预防的意义。
This study investigated the clinical relevance of heavy drinking during the college years and beyond on concurrent and prospective alcohol-related problems in a high-risk sample (N = 377). Measures of heavy drinking and alcohol-related problems were significantly correlated cross-sectionally over the study frame, regardless of how these constructs were operationalized. However, the magnitude of the association between heavy drinking and alcohol-related problems declined substantially over time, with the most pronounced decrease following the college years. Despite this cross-sectional decrease in the association between heavy drinking and alcohol-related problems over time, heavy drinking during the college years significantly and substantially predicted alcohol-use disorders up to 10 years later. Implications for assessment of heavy drinking as well as prevention of problematic alcohol use in college students are discussed.
