“…[20][21][22] Findings for rates of use among Hispanic populations are mixed. 7,9,16,18 Contributing to these equivocal findings is the fact that distinguishing race from ethnicity is not a common practice in research and until recently, very little attention was paid to this group.…”

“…[7][8][9]16,18,19 Although whites generally report the highest rates of use, research has demonstrated African Americans are more likely to report the lowest rates of use, with Asians and Hispanics falling in between. For example, research by McCabe and colleagues have found that whites were over 2 times more likely to report nonmedical opioid use in comparison to African Americans and Asian students.…”

“…Generally, alcohol consumption in Poland is characterized by a relatively low drinking frequency and a large drinking quantity per occasion (Smart & Ogborne, 2000). Because the number of students enrolled in colleges and universities has been on the rise over the past decades (Ford & Arrastia, 2008), it seems necessary to improve prevention strategies with reference to students of all types in higher education. Recognition of all factors associated with binge drinking seems to be necessary for preparing suitable prevention programs at university.…”

The present preliminary study examines an association between Type A behavior pattern and alcohol drinking pattern in Polish undergraduate students. Recognition of all factors associated with binge drinking seem to be necessary for the preparation the suitable prevention program at university. The sample of 113 second-year university students took part in self-administered questionnaires: the Alcohol Drinking Scale and the Framingham Type A Scale. Women drank less beer and spirits than men. Contrary to expectation, Type A behavior pattern not correlated with alcohol consumption. However, male students who demonstrated low alcohol drinking pattern scored higher in the Framingham Type A Scale than others. The prevention program at the university should refer to men abstainers, as well as heavy drinkers.

“…For example, among college students, PDM and lifetime sexual activity were associated (Ford and Arrastia, 2008;McCabe, 2005). Benotsch et al (2011) reported that 35.6% of their college student sample endorsed lifetime PDM (defi ned as using a prescription medication without a doctor's prescription), and 22.2% reported PDM in the past 3 months.…”

ABSTRACT. Objective:The purpose of this study was to evaluate associations between prescription drug misuse (PDM) and sexual risk behaviors (SRBs) among adolescents and emerging adults. Method: In a hospital emergency department, 2,127 sexually active 14-to 20-yearolds (61% female) reported on past-year alcohol use severity (using the Alcohol Use Disorders Identifi cation Test-consumption [AUDIT-C]), cannabis use, PDM (n = 422), and SRBs (inconsistent condom use, multiple partners, intercourse following alcohol/other drug use). Results: Bivariately, AUDIT-C score, cannabis use, and PDM of stimulants, opioids, and sedatives were positively associated with each SRB. Because many participants reported PDM for multiple drug classes (i.e., sedatives, stimulants, opioids), participants were categorized as (a) no PDM (n = 1,705), (b) PDM of one class (n = 251), (c) PDM of two classes (n = 90), or (d) PDM of three classes (n = 81). Three hierarchical logistic regression models evaluated the associations of number of classes of PDM with SRBs separately, after accounting for demographics (age, gender, race), AUDIT-C score, and cannabis use. Adding PDM statistically improved each model beyond what was accounted for by demographics, alcohol, and cannabis use. For inconsistent condom use and substance use before sex, PDM of one, two, or three classes was signifi cantly associated with increased odds of these SRBs. PDM of two or three classes was associated with increased odds of reporting multiple partners. Conclusions: Findings suggest that PDM, especially poly-PDM, may be a pertinent risk factor for SRBs among youth. Event-based research could further evaluate how PDM, as well as other substance use, is related to SRBs at the event level in order to inform interventions. (J. Stud.
