目的：本研究的目的是评估酗酒的患病率及其与其他健康行为，饮酒相关的态度和感知的社会规范之间的德国medical students.Methods：271一年级的德国医学生完成了一个横截面，自我管理的调查。共有252名学生（62%为女生，38%为男生）提供了有用的调查。平均年龄为20.6岁（S.D.= 1.7）.结果：大多数学生报告酗酒，24%在过去2周内有一次发作（偶尔饮酒），28%有两次或两次以上发作（频繁饮酒）。男性比女性更有可能有酗酒的经历。经常酗酒的人比其他组的学生看到了更多的饮酒好处，并报告了更高的饮酒诱惑。此外，他们更有可能吸烟，使用大麻，不锻炼，不吃水果和蔬菜。所有学生都高估了他们的同龄人的酒精摄入量和酗酒频率。结论：酗酒是非常普遍的，在这个样本中，并明显相关的其他健康危险行为。饮酒率与其他西方国家的大学生相似。未来的研究需要评估这种多重风险行为对医学生的学术和专业表现以及个人健康的影响。(c)2006爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of binge drinking and its relation to other health behaviors, drinking-related attitudes and perceived social norms among German medical students.Methods: 271 first-year German medical students completed a cross-sectional, self-administered survey. A total of 252 (62% female and 38% male) students provided useable surveys. The mean age was 20.6 years (S.D.=1.7).Results: Most students reported heavy drinking with 24% having one episode in the past 2 weeks (Infrequent Bingers) and 28% having two or more episodes (Frequent Bingers). Men were more likely than women to have had a binge drinking episode. Frequent binge drinkers saw more pros of drinking and reported a higher temptation to drink than students in the other groups. Additionally, they were more likely to smoke, use cannabis, not exercise and not eat fruits and vegetables. All students overestimated their peers' alcohol intake and binge drinking frequency.Conclusions: Binge drinking was highly prevalent in this sample and clearly related to other health risk behaviors. Drinking rates were similar to college students in other Western countries. Future research needs to assess the consequences of this multiple risk behavior among medical students regarding academic and professional performance as well as personal health.
