“…Research examining drinking in fraternity/sorority contexts has found that fraternity/ sorority houses were associated with the highest frequency of risky drinking (Park et al, 2009) and highest BACs (Glindemann and Geller, 2003). Findings indicate that students consume more alcohol at fraternity/sorority parties than all other contexts, with the exception of off-campus parties (Paschall and Saltz, 2007). Moreover, attendees of fraternity/ sorority parties also reported the highest number of drinks consumed before the event in comparison with attendees of house parties, campus events, off-campus parties, bars/ restaurants, and outdoor events (Paschall and Saltz, 2007).…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: Prior research has shown that normative perceptions of others' drinking behavior strongly relates to one's own drinking behavior. Most research examining the perceived drinking of others has generally focused on specifi city of the normative referent (i.e., gender, ethnicity). The present study expands the research literature on social norms by examining normative perceptions by various drinking contexts. Specifi cally, this research aimed to determine if college students overestimate peer drinking by several drinking contexts (i.e., bar, fraternity/sorority party, non-fraternity/sorority party, sporting event) and to examine whether normative perceptions for drinking by contexts relate to one's own drinking behavior specifi c to these contexts. Method: Students (N = 1,468; 56.4% female) participated in a web-based survey by completing measures assessing drinking behavior and perceived descriptive drinking norms for various contexts. Results: Findings demonstrated that students consistently overestimated the drinking behavior for the typical same-sex student in various drinking contexts, with the most prominent being fraternity/sorority parties. In addition, results indicated that same-sex normative perceptions for drinking by contexts were associated with personal drinking behavior within these contexts. Conclusions: Results stress the importance of specifi city of social norms beyond those related to the normative referent. Clinical implications are discussed in terms of preventions and intervention efforts as well as risks associated with drinking in a novel context. (J. Stud. Alcohol Drugs, 72,

“…Among university students, some found heavy drinking to be most likely to occur in pubs, bars, nightclubs, and residential halls (Kypri et al, 2007;Paschall and Saltz, 2007), but others found it most likely to occur in private homes . Individuals' drinking behaviors are also indissociable from individuals' drinking companions (Demers, 1997;Orcutt, 1991).…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess whether the effect of parenthood on alcohol intake varies according to the context in which the drinking act occurs. Method: The data were drawn from the Canadian Addiction Survey, a national telephone survey conducted in 2004. The analytical sample included 1,079 drinking occasions nested in 498 female drinkers and 926 drinking occasions nested in 403 male drinkers between 18 and 55 years of age. A multilevel linear statistical model was used to estimate the variance related to the drinking occasion (Level 1) and to the parental role (Level 2). Results: Parenthood was not associated with alcohol intake per occasion. Drinking context variables brought great explanatory power to the study of alcohol intake, but, overall, the effect of parenthood on alcohol intake did not vary according to the context in which drinking occurs. Only one interaction between the parental role and contextual characteristics was found. Conclusions: Men's and women's alcohol intake within drinking contexts is more likely to be infl uenced by the immediate context in which drinking occurs than by their parental role. The explanation for alcohol behaviors within the general Canadian population may lie as much in the situation as in the person. (J. Stud Alcohol Drugs, 72, 259-269, 2011)

“…Because of the emphasis of the intervention on parties at off-campus settings, students also were asked how often they had gone to parties at an off-campus house or apartment since the beginning of the academic year and, of those times, how many times they drank enough to get drunk. Sources for these items may be found in Gruenewald et al (2003) and Paschall and Saltz (2007).…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: This article evaluates Western WashingtonUniversity's Neighborhoods Engaging with Students project-a comprehensive strategy to decrease disruptive off-campus parties by increasing student integration into and accountability to the neighborhoods in which they live. The intervention includes increasing the number of and publicity regarding "party emphasis patrols" and collaboration with the city to develop a regulatory mechanism to reduce repeat problematic party calls to the same address. The enforcement components are complemented by campus-based, late-night expansion programming, as well as neighborhood engagement strategies including an educational Web site designed to increase students' knowledge of and skills in living safely and legally in the community, service-learning projects in the campus-contiguous neighborhoods, and a neighborhood-based confl ict-resolution program. Method: The evaluation comprised data from three public universities in Washington. In addition to the Western Washington University site, a second campus created an opportunity for a "natural experiment" because it adopted a very similar intervention in the same time frame, creating two intervention sites and one comparison site. Annual, Webbased student surveys in 2005 and 2006 included measures of alcohol consumption, alcohol-related problems, and student perception of alcohol control and prevention activities. Results: Although statistical power with three campuses was limited, results using hierarchical linear modeling showed that the prevalence of heavy episodic drinking was signifi cantly lower at the intervention schools (odds ratio = 0.73; N = 6,150 students). Conclusions: The results suggest that alcohol control measures can be effective in reducing problematic drinking in college settings. These fi ndings strongly support conducting a replication with greater power and a more rigorous design. (J. Stud Alcohol Drugs, Supplement No. 16: 21-27, 2009)

Relationships between college settings and student alcohol use before, during and after events: a multi‐level study

Abstract: Findings of this study indicate differences in the extent to which college settings are associated with student drinking levels before, during and after related events, and may have implications for intervention strategies targeting different types of settings.
