ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to gain insight about patterns of alcohol use and related consequences among heavy drinking community college students.ParticipantsAbout 26 community college students (Mean age 22.3 years, 46% men, 69% White) participated in this study between January and April 2013.MethodsFive qualitative focus group discussions were conducted during formative research preceding a text message intervention; participants were asked about common drinking behavior patterns among community college students, as well as how age and gender affect drinking. Sessions were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Participants also completed a brief quantitative survey about their drinking behavior and its consequences.ResultsQualitative data identified several themes: (1) reasons for drinking, (2) drinking occasions, (3) age- and experience-related differences in drinking, including patterns specific to community college students and women.ConclusionResearch is needed to develop innovative strategies to reduce alcohol harm in this understudied population.
