“…Item 24 of the CCAPS is the only item that assesses drug use other than alcohol. Although alcohol abuse is prevalent in Japan (Osaki et al, ), including among Japanese university students (Uemura, Jojima, Nagatani, Imaeda, & Suzuki, ; Yoshimoto et al, ), abuse of prescription and illicit drugs among Japanese university students is quite atypical. For example, using the International Classification of Diseases , Tenth Revision , the prevalence rates of alcohol dependence among Japanese males and females, respectively, were 1.9% and 0.2%, those of binge drinking were 12% and 2.2%, and those of episodic heavy drinking were 30.5% and 7.2% (Osaki et al, ).…”

There is currently no reliable and valid multidimensional instrument for measuring psychological symptoms among Japanese university students. The purpose of this pilot study was to translate the Counseling Center Assessment of Psychological Symptoms-62 (CCAPS-62) into Japanese and evaluate its validity and reliability. Following robust translation procedures, the CCAPS-Japanese was created. In the validation study, 2,758 undergraduate students from 11 universities (mean age = 19.08 ± 1.85 years) completed the CCAPS-Japanese. The results of confirmatory factor analysis supported the theoretical eight-factor structure model of the CCAPS-Japanese with the exclusion of seven items. The decision to retain/remove items was made by evaluating factor loadings and model fit indices while considering cultural equivalence and structural validity. Using the finalized 55-item CCAPS-Japanese, further analyses demonstrated that the eight subscales had acceptable to good internal consistencies (α = .61-.89). Thus, the tool's validity and reliability were established.The CCAPS-Japanese may be appropriate for assessing the psychological concerns of Japanese university students.

Background Globally, alcohol consumption is a significant public health concern and it is one of the most important risk behaviours among university students. Alcohol consumption can lead to poor academic performance, injuries, fights, use of other substances, and risky sexual behaviours among students. However, the study explored the prevalence of alcohol consumption and the associated risk factors among university students since these have not been fully examined in previous research. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the prevalence of alcohol consumption and the associated risk factors among university students in Myanmar. Methods The present cross-sectional study was conducted using a sample of 15-24-year-old university students who were selected from six universities in Mandalay, Myanmar, in August 2018. In total, 3,456 students (males: 1,301 and females: 2,155) were recruited and asked to respond to a self-administered questionnaire. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to estimate the adjusted odds ratio (AOR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for alcohol consumption among university students. Results The prevalence of alcohol consumption in the previous 30 days was 20.3% (males: 36.0%, females: 10.8%). The alcohol consumption was significantly higher among males

“…In Japan, alcohol consumption by young people aged 20 to 29 has gradually increased since 1984 (Higuchi et al 2004), and HED and binge drinking have been observed, especially in young people (Osaki et al 2016). Among Japanese college students, 56.8% of men and 47.8% of women are binge drinkers, and binge drinkers had a history of significantly more alcohol-related injuries (odds ratio 25.6) (Yoshimoto et al 2017). Despite emerging evidence of alcohol-related problems of young people, including college students, there are no restrictions on sponsorship and no legislative provisions for alcohol-free environments (Higuchi et al 2007).…”

Excessive drinking by college students is a major public health problem in Japan. However, data on heavy episodic drinking (HED) and nomihodai, a several-hour all-you-can-drink system, are scarce. We surveyed the drinking behavior of undergraduate and graduate students at 35 colleges, and examined the association between HED and use of nomihodai. The study used a cross-sectional design conducted by a self-administered questionnaire. From December 2016 to March 2017, we sampled undergraduate and graduate students aged 20 or older at 35 colleges in the Kanto area, including Tokyo. The following items were measured: 1) frequency of drinking; 2) frequency of binge drinking in the past year; 3) nomihodai use; 4) the number of drinks consumed when using or not using nomihodai; and 5) sex and age for demographic data. Paired t-test was used to compare means between use and non-use state of nomihodai. The Fisher's exact test was used to evaluate the significance of the distribution difference between the two types of states. A total of 511 subjects completed the questionnaire, including 274 men and 237 women. The amount of drinking was increased 1.8-fold (85.9 ± 49.7 g vs. 48.2 ± 29.5 g) among men and 1.7-fold (63.7 ± 39.3 g vs. 36.5 ± 26.7 g) among women during nomihodai use, comapred with non-use states. Among them, 109 (39.8%) men and 71 (30.3%) women reported HED only at nomihodai states. These data suggest that the use of nomihodai system may lead to excessive drinking among college students.
