| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS B6prBR0x. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives. We assessed the relationship between college binge drinking, binge drinking in the general population, and selected alcohol control policies. Methods. We analyzed binge drinking rates from 2 national surveys, the Harvard School of Public Health College Alcohol Study and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. Binge drinking data were linked to a summary measure of 7 salient alcohol control policies and a rating of resources devoted to law enforcement. Results. State-level college and adult binge drinking rates were strongly correlated (Pearson correlation coefficient=0.43 ; P<. 01). Attending college in states with the lowest binge drinking rates (adjusted odds ratio [OR]=0.63 ; 95% confidence interval [CI]=0.41,0.97) and presence of more stringent alcohol control policies (adjusted OR=0.57 ; 95% CI=0.33,0.97) were independent predictors of student binge drinking, after adjusting for state law enforcement and individual-college-and state-level covariates. Conclusions. State of residence is a predictor of binge drinking by college students. State-level alcohol control policies may help reduce binge drinking among college students and in the general population. |
