背景：该研究调查了新西兰大学生的饮酒地点类型和酒精使用之间的关系。方法：2005年对6所高校17 ~ 24岁的大学生进行网络横断面调查。共有2548名受访者（回应比例：63%）。测量包括前一周每天在酒馆/酒吧/夜总会、学生公寓/住宅、宿舍和“其他”地点（如餐馆）消耗的标准饮料（10克乙醇）的数量。我们使用多水平回归来检验饮酒地点类型和每次发作的消费量之间的关联，调整学生和发作水平的协变量。结果：受访者平均每天饮酒7.1杯（SD 5.2），包括在酒馆/酒吧/夜总会、公寓/住宅和住宅大厅饮酒5.4杯（SD 4.5），在其他地点饮酒3.7杯（SD 3.4）。总体而言，男性在每个地点的饮酒量（平均8.4,SD 6.3）高于女性（平均6.2,SD 4.0）。多水平分析显示，当调整学生和发作水平的协变量（包括发作持续时间）时，前三种地点类型和每次发作相对于其他地点的饮酒量呈正相关。结论：某些饮酒场所（如酒吧、宿舍楼、校外宿舍）似乎促进或促进了学生的大量饮酒。应优先加强禁止为醉酒服务的法律的执行，以减少大学生中与酒精有关的伤害。应考虑加强宿舍的酒精政策和管理私人住宅酗酒的方法。2010爱思唯尔爱尔兰有限公司版权所有。
Background: The study examined associations between type of drinking location and alcohol use in a national sample of New Zealand university students.Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional web-based survey with random sampling of 17- to 24-year-old undergraduates from six university campuses in 2005. There were 2548 respondents (response fraction: 63%). Measures included the number of standard drinks (10 g ethanol) consumed on each day of the preceding week in pubs/bars/nightclubs, student flats/houses, residential halls, and 'other' locations (e.g., restaurants). We used multilevel regression to test for associations between type of drinking location and consumption per episode, adjusting for student- and episode-level covariates.Results: Respondents consumed an average of 7.1 drinks (SD 5.2) per drinking day, including 5.4 drinks (SD 4.5) in pubs/bars/nightclubs, flats/houses, and residential halls, and 3.7 drinks (SD 3.4) in other locations. Overall, men drank more per location (mean 8.4, SD 6.3) than did women (mean 6.2, SD 4.0). Multilevel analyses revealed positive associations between the first three location types and drinks per episode relative to other locations when adjusting for student- and episode-level covariates including duration of episode.Conclusions: Certain drinking locations (i.e., pubs, residential halls, off-campus houses) appear to promote or facilitate heavy alcohol consumption among students. Better enforcement of laws prohibiting service to intoxication should be prioritized to reduce alcohol-related harm among university students. Consideration should be given to strengthening alcohol policies in residential halls and methods for managing heavy drinking in private residences. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
