The abusive consumption of alcohol in university students constitutes one of the risk factors for their health, which can lead to problems in the academic, social and economic aspects. In the present work a study on the type of alcohol consumption in university students is shown, which aims to identify the risky and harmful consumption of alcohol in students of the UT del Norte de Aguascalientes, as well as carry out a comparison to determine if there were modifications in the type of consumption presented by the students of the 2018-2020 generation. For this study, the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) was applied online in 925 second and fifth semester students in the educational programs of the Higher Technical level. The information collected was treated only statistically, using descriptive statistics for this purpose. Identifying the type of alcohol consumption in students will allow the UTNA to carry out activities that promote awareness of negative consequences, especially in the academic sphere, such as low academic performance, lag and / or dropout.

Abstract: Adaptation of the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) in Colombian university students. Although alcohol consumption is one of the behaviors that generates more negative consequences for public health, there are few validated instruments that allow to measure alcohol consumption in Colombian population. The objective of the present investigation was to adapt the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) in a sample of Colombian university students. The method used was instrumental, because the questionnaire was submitted to the technical adaptation process defined by WHO. It was applied to a sample of 1,557 Colombian university students, selected under a probabilistic procedure. The results showed that the scale (a) has adequate clarity in its language, (b) fits a well-defined two-factor model, (c) has good levels of reliability (internal consistency) and positive correlations between the items. It was concluded that the AUDIT is a tool with sound psychometric properties to be used in Colombian university students.Resumen: El consumo de alcohol es una de las conductas que genera mayores problemáticas para la salud pública, pero son escasos los instrumentos validados que permiten medirlo en población colombiana. El objetivo de la presente investigación fue adaptar el Cuestionario para Identificación de Trastornos Debidos al Consumo de Alcohol (AUDIT) en universitarios colombianos. El método utilizado fue instrumental, dado que el cuestionario fue sometido al proceso técnico de adaptación definido por la OMS. Se aplicó a una muestra de 1.557 universitarios colombianos, seleccionados bajo un procedimiento probabilístico. Los resultados mostraron que la escala (a) posee claridad adecuada en su lenguaje, (b) se ajusta a un modelo de dos factores bien definidos, y (c) posee buenos niveles de fiabilidad (consistencia interna) y correlaciones positivas entre los reactivos. Se concluye que el AUDIT es un instrumento con propiedades psicométricas apropiadas para ser utilizado en universitarios colombianos.

BackgroundThe Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) is widely used for monitoring harmful alcohol consumption among high-risk populations. A number of short versions of AUDIT have been developed for use in time-constrained settings. In military populations, a range of AUDIT variations have been used, but the optimal combination of AUDIT items has not been determined.MethodsA total of 952 participants (80% male), recruited as part of a wider study, completed the AUDIT-10. We systematically assessed all possible combinations of three or four AUDIT items and established AUDIT variations using the following statistics: Cronbach’s alpha (internal consistency), variance explained (R2) and Pearson’s correlation coefficient (concurrent validity).ResultsMedian AUDIT-10 score was 7 for males and 6 for females, and 380 (40%) participants were classified as having a score indicative of harmful or hazardous alcohol use (≥8) according to WHO classifications.A novel four-item AUDIT variation (3, 4, 8 and 9) performed consistently higher than established variations across statistical measures; it explained 85% of variance in AUDIT-10, had a Pearson’s correlation of 0.92 and Cronbach’s alpha was 0.63. The FAST, an established shortened AUDIT variant, together with several other four-item novel variants of AUDIT-10 performed similarly. The AUDIT-C performed consistently low on all measures, but with a satisfactory level of internal consistency (75%).ConclusionShortened AUDIT variations may be suitable alternatives to the full AUDIT for screening hazardous alcohol consumption in military populations. Four-item AUDIT variations focused on short-term risky drinking and its consequences performed better than three item versions.Trial registration numberACTRN12614001332617.

Objetivo: el consumo de alcohol entre los estudiantes universitarios se ha convertido en una preocupación creciente en los últimosaños, por lo que este estudio fue desarrollado con el objetivo de identificar el consumo de esta sustancia entre los estudiantes de enfermería.Método: se trata de un estudio transversal desarrollado en una universidad privada en la ciudad de Río de Janeiro, Brasil, con 161estudiantes que respondieron a un cuestionario autoadministrado que contiene información sociodemográfica, preguntas seleccionadasdel Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test y otros aspectos relacionados con el consumo de bebidas alcohólicas. Resultados: alta proporción(67,7 %) de los estudiantes de enfermería entrevistados reportó ser consumidores de alcohol, y el 32,1 % de ellos estaban en laorgía de consumo estándar, y casi la mitad (45,9 %) de los consumidores están expuestos al riesgo de desarrollar problemas relacionadoscon el consumo de esta sustancia. Resultados: están preocupados por el consumo de bebidas alcohólicas de los estudiantes de enfermeríaque participaron en este estudio, ya que son los futuros profesionales que inevitablemente actúan como educadores y motivadorespara la adopción de conductas saludables en la población. Conclusión: por lo tanto, se necesitan políticas y programas para prevenir elconsumo excesivo de alcohol en esta población.

Valid Assessment

In this study, we examined the validity of the Personality Assessment Inventory Alcohol (ALC) scale in 736 male veterans presenting for formal evaluation of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The ALC scale exhibited convergence with other measures of alcohol problems, and this convergence was similar for veterans with and without formal PTSD diagnosis. When predicting alcohol consumption via the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT), the ALC scale also displayed substantial incremental validity over the effects of demographics and MMPI-2 MacAndrew Alcohol Scale. Using a standard alcohol consumption cut score on the AUDIT, the ALC scale displayed good specificity and (generally) good sensitivity across three common cut scores. PTSD severity did not significantly affect the association between the ALC composite and alcohol consumption via the AUDIT. Taken together, results suggested that the ALC can provide valid assessment of alcohol use among treatment seeking veterans.
