Alcohol policy support among mandated college students.

چکیده
BACKGROUND Alcohol consumption on college campuses is high, and often dangerous. College administrators have created policies to control alcohol consumption, but student body support or opposition of specific policies has been relatively unexplored. METHOD The current study examined the relations of alcohol policy support with gender and alcohol consumption. Mandated students (N=229; 44% women) completed self-report assessments of alcohol policy support and alcohol consumption. RESULTS Women supported policies to a greater extent than did men, as did lighter drinkers relative to heavier drinkers. Drinks per drinking day fully mediated the relation between gender and alcohol policy support. CONCLUSION While alcohol policy support differs by gender, this covariation is explained by differences in alcohol consumption. Findings have implications for addressing alcohol policy support among mandated college students.

متن کاملDo students mandated to intervention for campus alcohol-related violations drink more than nonmandated students?
It is often assumed that "mandated students" (i.e., those who violate campus alcohol policies and are mandated to receive an alcohol intervention) drink more than students from the general population. To test this assumption empirically, we compared alcohol-use levels of a sample of students mandated for alcohol violations (n = 435) with a representative sample of nonmandated students from the ...
