Abstract
Objective: More than half of United States college students are harmed by the drinkers around them. If findings from research on adults generalize to college students, then there will be consequences associated with these alcohol-related harms to others (AHTOs). This study aimed to determine whether harms from others' drinking were associated with key academic and mental health indicators of the college experience.
Method: Data were from a probability-based sample of college students (n=1,822, 64.9% cisfemale, 68.6% white, 11.3% Black, 15.6% Hispanic/Latinx) conducted Oct-Nov 2021. Predictors included domains of five alcohol-related harms to others (AHTOs): harassment, physical, sexual, academic, and babysitting drinkers. Six binary outcomes included 1) Satisfied with college, 2) Satisfied with academic performance, 3) grade point average (GPA) ≥ 3.0, 4) Depression, 5) Suicidal ideation, and 6) Mental distress.
Results: Harassment AHTOs were associated with lower college satisfaction (aOR=0.54, 95% CI=0.38, 0.84) and suicidal ideation (aOR=1.74, 95% CI=1.08, 2.82). Physical AHTOs were associated with lower odds of academic satisfaction (aOR=0.33, 95% CI=0.19, 0.59) and GPA ≥ 3.0 (aOR=0.42, 95% CI=0.22, 0.83). Academic AHTOs were associated with lower odds of being satisfied with college (aOR=0.27, 95% CI=0.14, 0.52) and one's academic performance (aOR=0.27, 95% CI=0.14, 0.50) and higher odds of mental distress (aOR=2.27, 95% CI=1.31, 3.94). Finally, sexual AHTOs were associated with higher odds of depression (aOR=2.77, 95% CI=1.34, 5.77).
Conclusions: AHTOs are associated with mental health and academic challenges on college campuses. Longitudinal studies should investigate whether these associations persist over time.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs began in 1940 as the Quarterly Journal of Studies on Alcohol. It was founded by Howard W. Haggard, M.D., director of Yale University’s Laboratory of Applied Physiology. Dr. Haggard was a physiologist studying the effects of alcohol on the body, and he started the Journal as a way to publish the increasing amount of research on alcohol use, abuse, and treatment that emerged from Yale and other institutions in the years following the repeal of Prohibition in 1933. In addition to original research, the Journal also published abstracts summarizing other published documents dealing with alcohol. At Yale, Dr. Haggard built a large team of alcohol researchers within the Laboratory of Applied Physiology—including E.M. Jellinek, who became managing editor of the Journal in 1941. In 1943, to bring together the various alcohol research projects conducted by the Laboratory, Dr. Haggard formed the Section of Studies on Alcohol, which also became home to the Journal and its editorial staff. In 1950, the Section was renamed the Center of Alcohol Studies.
