Abstract

Background: Alcohol mixed with energy drink (AmED) use among college students is associated with specific adverse effects (e.g., sexual assault, driving while intoxicated). This study offered the opportunity to evaluate correlates of past year AmED use in a large sample of college students. Methods: In autumn 2010, emails were sent to all first year students (n = 29,536) at 11 colleges and universities in North Carolina and Virginia, inviting them to participate in a brief web-based survey to be used to establish a cohort for the parent tobacco use study; 10,340 (35%) students responded to the web-based survey, which elicited items on demographics, past year use of AmED, and other health behaviors. Results: Past year of AmED was reported by 29.4% of students. Logistic regression analysis revealed that female gender (adjusted odds ratios [AOR] = 1.28, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.16-1.42); ever use of smokeless tobacco (AOR = 3.51, 95% CI = 3.00-4.10); current smoking (AOR = 4.97, 95% CI = 4.34-5.69); 2 or fewer days of physical activity per week (AOR = 1.16, 95% CI = 1.04-1.28); and 7 or 8 hours of sleep per day (AOR = 1.12, 95% CI = 1.02-1.24) predicted risk of past year use of AmED. Conclusions: Nearly a third of first year college students reported past year use of AmED. Our finding of increased past year use of AmED use among women is new and might reflect the changing epidemiology of female college alcohol use. Of additional concern, such use might also reflect targeted marketing to women by the energy drink industry. Findings can guide future research as well as substance counseling to college students.

大学一年级学生使用酒精混合能量饮料的相关因素:临床和研究意义
背景:大学生使用酒精混合能量饮料(AmED)与特定的不良影响(如性侵犯、醉酒驾驶)有关。本研究提供了一个机会,以评估大样本大学生在过去一年中使用混合能量饮料的相关性。研究方法2010年秋季,向北卡罗来纳州和弗吉尼亚州11所高校的所有一年级新生(n = 29,536)发送了电子邮件,邀请他们参加一项简短的网络调查,该调查将用于建立家长烟草使用研究的队列;10,340名学生(35%)对网络调查做出了回应,调查内容包括人口统计学、过去一年AmED的使用情况以及其他健康行为。调查结果显示29.4%的学生报告过去一年使用过 AmED。逻辑回归分析显示,女性(调整赔率 [AOR] = 1.28,95% 置信区间 [CI] = 1.16-1.42)、曾经使用无烟烟草(AOR = 3.51,95% CI = 3.00-4.10)、目前吸烟(AOR = 4.97,95% CI = 4.34-5.69);每周体育活动 2 天或少于 2 天(AOR = 1.16,95% CI = 1.04-1.28);每天睡眠 7 或 8 小时(AOR = 1.12,95% CI = 1.02-1.24)可预测过去一年使用 AmED 的风险。结论近三分之一的大学一年级学生报告过去一年使用过 AmED。我们发现女性在过去一年中使用氨苯喋啶的情况有所增加,这是一项新发现,可能反映了女大学生饮酒流行病学的变化。更值得关注的是,这种使用也可能反映了能量饮料行业对女性的定向营销。研究结果可以指导未来的研究以及对大学生的物质咨询。
