Abstract

Objective: Alcohol consumption patterns during the COVID-19 pandemic have varied notably. Participants: We examined the acute impact of the pandemic on alcohol use disorder (AUD) in a generalizable sample of college students who were surveyed pre-pandemic and re-surveyed in May 2020. Method: Items assessed pre-pandemic included DSM-5 AUD and mental health symptoms. A COVID-19 impacts questionnaire was administered, and alcohol and mental health items re-assessed. Results: AUD symptoms decreased from pre-pandemic to during the pandemic, demonstrating a change in trajectory compared to prior cohorts. Students with persistent AUD reported greater concurrent symptoms of PTSD, depression, and alcohol consumption than those with remitted AUD (ps ≤ .02), but not increased COVID-19 impact. Persistent AUD status was predicted by higher sensation seeking and alcohol consumption. Conclusions: Students with concurrent mental health problems are at continued risk for persistent AUD. Findings highlight the impact of the college environment and social context for drinking on AUD.

新冠肺炎与大学：疫情如何影响学生的酒精使用障碍状况。

目的：新冠肺炎大流行期间的酒精消费模式有显著差异。参与者：我们在疫情前和2020年5月对大学生进行的普遍抽样调查中，研究了疫情对酒精使用障碍（AUD）的急性影响。方法：疫情前评估的项目包括DSM-5 AUD和心理健康症状。进行新冠肺炎影响问卷调查，并重新评估酒精和心理健康项目。结果：从疫情前到疫情期间，AUD症状有所下降，表明与之前的队列相比，轨迹发生了变化。患有持续性AUD的学生比患有缓解性AUD（ps ≤ .02），但没有增加新冠肺炎的影响。持续的AUD状态是通过更高的感觉寻求和饮酒量来预测的。结论：同时存在心理健康问题的学生持续存在AUD的风险。研究结果突出了大学环境和饮酒的社会背景对AUD的影响。
