Аннотация
OBJECTIVE: This study examined how university characteristics were associated with students' drinking behavior.
PARTICIPANTS: Participants were 6,139 university students from 30 institutions across the U.S.
METHODS: Participants reported demographics and completed the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT). Schools were characterized on variables across three categories: organizational (e.g., presence of fraternity/sorority student organizations), physical and behavioral (e.g., U.S. region), and campus community (e.g., urban-rural classification). School and student characteristics were entered in multilevel models predicting drinking status and AUDIT scores.
RESULTS: Controlling for significant individual-level characteristics, higher drinking likelihood was observed among students at schools with a lower percentage of commuters, and those in the Northeast or Midwest (versus West). Students at schools in the Midwest had higher AUDIT scores (versus Southeast; Southwest).
CONCLUSIONS: Some school characteristics are related to alcohol use outcomes and may differentially impact students' drinking behavior. Considering university characteristics may help inform school policies to curb heavy drinking.
