  • Title: Gender, ethnic, age, and relationship differences in non-traditional college student alcohol consumption: a tri-ethnic study.
    Author: Babb S, Stewart C, Bachman C.
    Journal: J Ethn Subst Abuse; 2012; 11(1):22-47. PubMed ID: 22381121.
    Abstract:
    Group differences in four aspects of alcohol consumption behaviors were examined in non-traditional college students (N = 1092; 828 women and 264 men) attending a large, non-residential, urban university. Findings demonstrated several differences between traditional and non-traditional students' drinking behaviors. Specifically, non-traditional students are more likely to abstain; Caucasians are more apt to drink in isolation and experience negative social consequences of drinking; Hispanic and African American women control their alcohol consumption better; and African American men are more likely to experience antisocial consequences due to drinking. These findings have implications for education and prevention efforts targeting non-traditional college students.
