Abstract

Alcohol use among college students is a national health concern. The epidemiology of alcohol use among Middle Eastern college students remains to be investigated. This study sought to understand the epidemiology of recent alcohol use among Middle Eastern college students. We use data from the 2017 to 2018 Healthy Minds Study to identify predictors of recent alcohol use among 1,763 Middle Eastern students nationwide. Weighted univariate analyses were conducted to determine significant predictors of recent alcohol use. Nearly half (45.5%) of Middle Eastern college students reported using alcohol in the past 2 weeks (recent alcohol use). Those at highest risk for recent alcohol use were in their 4th year of schooling (p <.001), living in a fraternity or sorority house (p <.001), and reported that religion was not a big part of their life (p <.001). Students who lived with their parents were less likely to drink alcohol (p <.001). Recent alcohol use among Middle Eastern college students is a national public health concern. Interventions are warranted to decrease this growing public health anomaly and to more effectively deal with this current public health crisis.

中东大学生近期饮酒的流行病学研究。
大学生饮酒是一个全国性的健康问题。中东大学生饮酒的流行病学仍有待调查。本研究旨在了解中东大学生近期饮酒的流行病学。我们使用2017年至2018年健康心理研究的数据来确定全国1763名中东学生最近饮酒的预测因素。进行加权单变量分析以确定近期饮酒的重要预测因素。近一半(45.5%)的中东大学生报告在过去两周内饮酒(最近饮酒)。最近饮酒风险最高的是那些在学校四年级的学生(p .001),住在兄弟会或姐妹会的房子里(p .001),并报告说宗教不是他们生活的重要组成部分(p .001)。与父母同住的学生不太可能饮酒(p . 001)。最近中东大学生的饮酒问题是一个全国性的公共卫生问题。有必要采取干预措施,以减少这一日益严重的公共卫生异常现象,并更有效地应对当前的公共卫生危机。
