Abstract
Problem drinking behaviors:
Differential effects of stress and type of school on black
versus white college students
Objective: To explore sociodemographic and psychosocial
factors related to problem drinking
behavior (PDB; i.e., binge drinking, driving after drinking, having
intercourse after drinking)
among Black and White college students.
Participants: 4,098 two- and four-year college students in
the Southeast in October 2010.
Methods: We conducted an online survey assessing
sociodemographics, depressive symptoms,
perceived stress, satisfaction with life, and PDB.
Results: We found an interaction between ethnicity and
gender such that, among Whites,
females had less PDB than males. The difference in PDB was less
pronounced among Black
females vs. males. We also found an interaction between ethnicity
and school type such that
Whites from four-year vs. two-year schools had greater PDB. An
interaction was also found
between ethnicity and stress - Blacks were more negatively affected
by high stress in terms of
PBD.
Conclusions: These distinct relationships among Black and
Whites suggest different risk
profiles and potentially intervention targets for PDB.
