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.

Preliminary Research

Young people’s consumption of alcohol is an ongoing problem. Many young adults binge-drink alcohol excessively, with serious negative consequences thereafter. This preliminary research assessed risk factors associated with alcohol consumption, drinking problems and related consequences among university students. The study was carried out on a total of 1056 students from UASVM Cluj-Napoca, Romania. University students claimed altered states of health after drinking episodes: vomiting, abdominal pain, headache, dizziness (43.1%), forgetfulness after drinking (3.1%). Furthermore, students who drank over the limit reported physical and violence-related problems (2.7%) and were more likely to develop risky behaviors, like driving under the influence of alcohol (13.9%) or car accidents (0.2%). The participants in the study were not heavy social drinkers, 50.9% of the respondents reported no consequences after drinking alcohol.

Identification Test

Online alcohol screening may be helpful in preventing alcohol use disorders. We assessed psychometric properties of an online version of the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) among Spanish university students. We used a longitudinal online survey (the UNIVERSAL project) of first-year students (18–24 years old) in five universities, including the AUDIT, as part of the WHO World Mental Health International College Student (WMH-ICS) initiative. A reappraisal interview was carried out with the Timeline Followback (TLFB) for alcohol consumption categories and the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) for alcohol use disorder. Reliability, construct validity and diagnostic accuracy were assessed. Results: 287 students (75% women) completed the MINI, of whom 242 also completed the TLFB. AUDIT’s Cronbach’s alpha was 0.82. The confirmatory factor analysis for the one-factor solution of the AUDIT showed a good fit to the data. Significant AUDIT score differences were observed by TLFB categories and by MINI disorders. Areas under the curve (AUC) were very large for dependence (AUC = 0.96) and adequate for consumption categories (AUC > 0.7). AUDIT cut-off points of 6/8 (women/men) for moderate-risk drinking and 13 for alcohol dependence showed sensitivity/specificity of 76.2%/78.9% and 56%/97.5%, respectively. The online version of the AUDIT is useful for detecting alcohol consumption categories and alcohol dependence in Spanish university students.

ObjectivesThe study aimed to provide an association between dysmenorrhoea and academic performance among university students in Ethiopia. Further, the study attempts to determine the prevalence and associated risk factors of dysmenorrhoea.Design and methodInstitution-based cross-sectional study was conducted from 1 April to 28 April 2019. A semistructured and pretested self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data. Binary logistic regression analysis and one-way analysis of variance were performed to model dysmenorrhoea and academic performance, respectively.Setting and participantsEthiopia (2019: n=647 female university students).OutcomesThe primary outcome is dysmenorrhoea, which has been defined as painful menses that prevents normal activity and requires medication. The self-reported cumulative grade point average of students was used as a proxy measure of academic performance, which is the secondary outcome.ResultsThe prevalence of dysmenorrhoea was 317 (51.5%). The educational status of father (adjusted OR (AOR) (95% CI) 2.64 (1.04 to 6.66)), chocolate consumption (AOR (95% CI) 3.39 (95% 1.28 to 8.93)), daily breakfast intake (<5 days/week) (AOR (95% CI) 0.63 (0.42 to 0.95)), irregular menstrual cycle AOR (95% CI) 2.34 (1.55 to 3.54)) and positive family history of dysmenorrhoea AOR (95% CI) 3.29 (2.25 to 4.81)) had statistically significant association with dysmenorrhoea. There was no statistically significant difference in academic performance among students with and without dysmenorrhoea (F (3611)=1.276, p=0.28)).ConclusionsDysmenorrhoea was a common health problem among graduating University students. However, it has no statistically significant impact on academic performance. Reproductive health officers should educate and undermine the negative academic consequences of dysmenorrhoea to reduce the physical and psychological stress that happens to females and their families.

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.
