目前的研究调查了代际地位，酒精使用，想要喝醉和大学期间与酒精相关的负面后果之间的联系。我们测试了移民学生的纵向酒精使用轨迹是否收敛到占主导地位的不健康模式，或者移民学生是否在大学期间保持更健康的模式。我们还研究了周末是否对不同年龄段的学生产生了相同的风险。此外，我们探讨了拉丁裔和亚裔美国学生之间的模式是否一致。分层随机抽样确定了在美国大学就读的一年级学生。纵向每日日记设计，学生完成了基于网络的调查长达14天内的7个学期。每天，参与者（N = 689; n（第一代）= 114; n（第二代）= 244; 51%女性）报告他们的酒精使用和后果（N = 55，829天）。多层次模型表明，与第三代学生相比，第一代学生更有可能戒酒，不太可能酗酒和想喝醉。第一代学生也经历了较少的负面酒精相关的后果。作为第一代的保护作用在整个大学学期都得到了保持，亚组分析主要集中在拉丁裔和亚裔美国学生身上，这在很大程度上支持了主要的研究结果。然而，对于弃权和负面后果，周末效应是不太明显的移民比后一代的学生。例如，第一代（与第三代）学生之间的负面后果差异在周末最大。需要更多的工作来了解第一代学生如何利用保护因素来避免饮酒，即使反复暴露在“潮湿”的饮酒环境中。
The current study examined linkages between generational status, alcohol use, wanting to get drunk, and negative alcohol-related consequences during college. We tested whether immigrant students' longitudinal alcohol use trajectories converged to dominant unhealthy patterns or whether immigrant students maintained healthier patterns across college. We also examined if the weekend exerted equal risk for students of different generations. Furthermore, we explored whether patterns were consistent among Latinx and Asian American students. Stratified random sampling identified first-year students attending a US college. A longitudinal daily diary design was used; students completed web-based surveys for up to 14 days within each of 7 semesters. Each day, participants (N = 689; n(1st generation) = 114; n(2nd) generation = 244; 51% female) reported their alcohol use and consequences (N = 55,829 days). Multi-level models demonstrated that compared to 3rd generation students, 1st generation students were more likely to abstain from alcohol and less likely to binge drink and want to get drunk. First generation students also experienced fewer negative alcohol-related consequences. The protective effect of being 1st generation was maintained across college semesters, with subgroup analyses focusing on Latinx and Asian American students largely supporting the main findings. However, for abstaining and negative consequences, the weekend effect was less pronounced for immigrants than later generation students. For example, the difference in negative consequences between 1st (vs. 3rd) generation students was largest on the weekend. Additional work is needed to understand how 1st generation students leverage protective factors to abstain from alcohol use even when exposed repeatedly to "wet" drinking environments.
