Harms To Others from Drinking Among College Students

18-24岁的年轻人比其他年龄段的人更容易受到酒精的伤害。这是一个问题， 不仅因为青少年饮酒者对自己造成伤害，也因为周围的人受到伤害 从他们的饮酒。饮酒对他人的危害还没有像对健康的危害那样详细地调查过。 饮酒者，但现有的证据表明，大学生比老年人更有可能 感受别人喝酒的危害。大学生对他人造成伤害的机会增加了 因为他们酗酒的比例比同龄的年轻人高， 他们经常在封闭的环境中生活和工作。尽管存在风险，但我们没有可靠的定量估计， 在这个人群中，其他人饮酒造成的伤害的范围、程度和相关性;我们也不知道 其他人饮酒造成伤害的风险与一系列其他风险或保护因素之间的关系，例如 人口统计和参与体育或希腊系统，或大学或国家一级的酒精政策。 更好地理解这些关系将有助于NIAAA在其使命中实施基于证据的 采取干预措施，以应对未成年人和过度饮酒造成的身体、行为和社会危害。 我们提出的研究的广泛目标是提高对风险因素，范围， 对他人造成伤害的程度和后果，达到可以用来支持现有证据的程度- 基于政策和计划，以减少酒精对年轻人的伤害。具体目标是：（1）探索 大学生因他人饮酒而遭受伤害的范围和程度，包括 伤害的发生率和严重程度以及教育成果，2）确定风险和保护因素 与大学生饮酒伤害体验相关; 3）测试是否以及如何 大学和州一级的酒精政策缓和了接触酗酒者和 大学生对他人饮酒危害的体验。 我们将通过对美国大学生进行一次有代表性的在线调查来实现这些目标。 国家和收集校园酒精政策和利用国家一级酒精政策的现有评分。的 多阶段抽样设计将避免基于地址和随机数字拨号引入的选择偏差 与年轻人建立信任。使用标准化的健康状况衡量标准， 健康和生活质量，以便与其他健康影响进行比较， 采取干预措施，以解决最大的危害。我们的团队带来了国内和国际的专业知识， 对他人的伤害，大学酒精调查，调查方法和政策评分，以确保该项目的成功。 关于大学生饮酒对他人危害的全面信息将填补 了解如何最好地针对政策和干预措施，以减少伤害。

Young people ages 18-24 years suffer more harm from alcohol than other age groups. This is a concern not only because young drinkers cause harm to themselves, but also because the people around them suffer harms from their drinking. Harms to others from drinking have not been investigated in as much detail as harms to drinkers, but the little evidence that exists suggests college students are more likely than older people to experience harms from others' drinking. College students have an increased chance of inflicting harms on other young people around them because they have higher rates of heavy drinking than similar young people and often live and work in close environments. Despite the risks, we do not have reliable quantitative estimates of the range, magnitude, and correlates of harm from others' drinking in this population; we also do not know the relationship between risk of harms from others drinking and a range of other risk or protective factors, such as demographics and participation in athletics or the Greek system, or college or state-level alcohol policies. Better understanding of these relationships will help NIAAA in its mission to implement evidence-based interventions to counter physical, behavioral, and social harms from underage and excessive drinking. The broad objective of our proposed research is to advance knowledge on the risk factors, range, magnitude, and consequences of harms to others to a level where it can be used to support existing evidence- based policies and programs to reduce alcohol-related harm to young people. The specific aims are 1) to explore the range and magnitude of harms experienced by college students as a result of others' drinking, including the prevalence and severity of harm as well as educational outcomes, 2) to identify risk and protective factors associated with college students' experience of harm from others' drinking; and 3) to test whether and how college and state-level alcohol policies moderate the relationship between exposure to heavy drinkers and experience of harms from others' drinking among college students. We will achieve these aims by conducting a representative online survey of college students in the United States and by collecting campus alcohol policies and utilizing existing scoring of state-level alcohol policies. The multi-stage sampling design will avoid selection biases introduced by address-based and random digit dialing with young populations while establishing credibility. The use of standardized measures of health status, wellbeing, and quality of life enable comparison with other health impacts in order to assist in targeting interventions to address the greatest harms. Our team brings domestic and international expertise on alcohol's harms to others, college alcohol surveys, survey methods and policy scoring to ensure this project's success. Comprehensive information on college students' harms to others from drinking will fill a critical gap in knowledge about how best to target policies and interventions to reduce harm.
