Abstract

Alcohol consumption is highly prevalent in college students, being important to identify risk factors for alcohol consumption. Thus, this work explored students' alcohol consumption and the influence of drinking contexts and how the lockdown modified drinking contexts and its influence on alcohol consumption. Argentinean college students ( N = 1762; 74.8% women; Mean age = 23.25 ± 2.64) completed a survey that assessed alcohol consumption and related contexts before and during the lockdown. Latent Class Analysis identified 5 context-classes that showed different alcohol consumption patterns. A high percent of students drink alcohol in various contexts, but especially those related with social encounters with peers. Moreover, students who consume alcohol at social events with peers tend to have higher consumption rates per occasion and on a monthly basis. The confinement measures could have an effect on reducing alcohol use in college students, probably by modifying the drinking context of some students. college students consume alcohol extensively, which is worrying considering the health disturbances that it produces. Moreover, it is important to consider special situations such as the lockdown -that could modify contexts and its influence on consumption-to devise intervention strategies to reduce alcohol consumption.

COVID-19 大流行期间因封锁造成的身体和社会饮酒环境变化改变了阿根廷大学生样本的酒精消费量

酒精消费在大学生中非常普遍，因此识别酒精消费的风险因素非常重要。因此，本研究探讨了学生的酒精消费和饮酒环境的影响，以及禁酒令如何改变饮酒环境及其对酒精消费的影响。阿根廷大学生（人数=1762；74.8%为女性；平均年龄=23.25 ± 2.64）完成了一项调查，评估了封锁前和封锁期间的饮酒量及相关情境。潜类分析（Latent Class Analysis）确定了 5 个显示不同酒精消费模式的情境类别。很高比例的学生在各种情境下饮酒，尤其是在与同伴的社交场合。此外，在与同伴的社交活动中饮酒的学生每次和每月的饮酒量往往较高。禁酒措施可能通过改变部分学生的饮酒环境，对减少大学生饮酒起到一定作用。大学生大量饮酒，考虑到其对健康造成的影响，这一点令人担忧。此外，重要的是要考虑到特殊情况，如禁闭--可能会改变饮酒环境及其对饮酒的影响--来制定减少饮酒的干预策略。
