Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alcohol use by young people is extremely dangerous - both to themselves and society at large. Underage alcohol use is associated with traffic fatalities, violence, unsafe sex, suicide, educational failure, and other problem behaviors that diminish the prospects of future success, as well as health risks â€" and the earlier teens start drinking, the greater the danger. Despite these serious concerns, the media continues to make drinking look attractive to youth, and it remains possible and even easy for teenagers to get access to alcohol. Why is this dangerous behavior so pervasive? What can be done to prevent it? What will work and who is responsible for making sure it happens? Reducing Underage Drinking addresses these questions and proposes a new way to combat underage alcohol use. It explores the ways in which may different individuals and groups contribute to the problem and how they can be enlisted to prevent it. Reducing Underage Drinking will serve as both a game plan and a call to arms for anyone with an investment in youth health and safety.

Download or read book Alcohol Use, Sensation Seeking, and the Role of Gender in the Prediction of Severe Alcohol-related Consequences in College Students written by Shelby K. Smith and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study contributes new literature to the larger body of research on college drinking. This study sought to examine alcohol use, sensation seeking, and gender differences in the experience of severe alcohol-related consequences amongst entering college students. Participants included 953 entering freshmen at a Bay Area university who self-identified as 18 years of age or older, had recent experience of drinking alcohol, and who completed the survey during their first academic quarter. Data for this study was collected during the fall follow-up time point of the larger study, which occurred in the beginning weeks of November in each academic year. Participants were asked to complete brief questionnaires regarding demographics, alcohol use over the previous three months, alcohol-related consequences, and they also completed the Brief Sensation Seeking Scale (BSSS). Simple regressions were used to examine the relationships between overall alcohol use (as measured by the Quantity Frequency Index [QFI]), the number of different alcohol-related problems, and sensation seeking tendencies (as measured by the BSSS). Using procedures outlined by Baron and Kenny (1986), a mediational path analysis was implemented to assess the effect of sensation seeking on the relationship between QFI and alcohol-related problems. MANCOVA tests were used to assess the role of gender differences on sensation seeking and a specific set of alcohol-related problems (i.e. Sexual, Physiological, Legal, Social, and Academic). Results show that sensation seeking represents a weak mediator in the overall relationship of QFI and alcohol-related problems among this sample. Even when breaking the sample down between men- and women-only subsamples, sensation seeking appears to possess, at best, a slight mediating effect on the relationship between OFI and problems for men. Results also indicate that there were no significant differences in overall number of problems experienced between genders, however, women reported--to a significant degree--more Sexual and Physiological problems as compared to their male peers. Males, on the other hand, endorsed significantly more problems in Social and Academic functioning as a result of their alcohol use. This data suggests that high sensation seeking may not represent a significant of a predictor of alcohol-related consequences, which is contrary to much of the current literature. Furthermore, this study further evidences that men and women experience significantly different alcohol-related consequences. College drinking prevention and intervention programs should therefore consider that there are differences in the ways that their male and female students experience alcohol use and its related consequences.

Download or read book Treating Addictive Behaviors written by William R. Miller and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About a decade ago, psychologists began exploring the commonalities among alcohol and drug abuse, smoking, and obesity. The term sub stance abuse evolved into the current concept of addictive behaviors, which recognizes similarities with other behaviors that do not involve consummatory responses (e. g. , pathological gambling, compulsions, sexual deviations). Professional societies and journals now have been founded in both Britain and the United States with the purpose of focus ing on research and treatment in the area of addictive behaviors. As the field has evolved, new models have emerged to address the questions and puzzles that face professionals. This volume examines some of these current issues and, in particular, explores common pro cesses of change that seem to cut across the addictive behaviors. The chapters are based on papers presented at the Third International Con ference on Treatment of Addictive Behaviors, which was held at North Berwick, Scotland, in August of 1984. The conference was organized around an integrative model of stages and processes of change that has been useful in organizing new knowledge about how to intervene with addictive behaviors. This model is set forth by its authors, Jim Prochaska and Carlo DiClemente, in Chapter 1. In Chapter 2, Fred Kanfer ex pounds his own model of self-regulation, which overlaps nicely with the Prochaska-DiClemente framework and provides a behavioral-theoretical context.

Download or read book Alcohol Problems Among Adolescents written by Gayle M. Boyd and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alcohol misuse presents a major risk for health and well-being throughout the life-span, but youth have a special vulnerability. Alcohol is the most widely used drug by adolescents. For some, this may be one or two isolated occasions of youthful experimentation; for others, the use becomes excessive, placing them in danger of immediate adverse consequences such as accidental injury and alcohol poisoning, or encouraging other high-risk behavior patterns including unprotected sex. Moreover, a pattern of heavy drinking established in adolescence and young adulthood may continue into an adult pattern of alcohol abuse. Concerned communities and institutions across the nation are tackling the problem of alcohol use and abuse by young people. Research-based knowledge is urgently needed to inform these efforts and to ensure that limited prevention resources are used as effectively as possible. The origins of youthful alcohol use and abuse are found within the complex interplay of individual characteristics, family and peer influences, the larger societal context for alcohol use, environmental conditions, and maturational processes that accompany adolescence. This volume, which began as a special issue of the Journal of Research on Adolescence, contains all of the material from the journal issue plus additional chapters. It helps researchers to meet the tremendous challenge of disentangling the key determinants of risk, and developing effective interventions. Primary sources of influence on youthful alcohol use are described, ranging from individual expectancies about alcohol effects and cognitive decision processes to parenting practices, peer influences, social environments, and economic factors; and a corresponding range of prevention interventions is discussed. This book will serve as a primer to those with an interest in developing and improving effective programs and activities to reduce alcohol-related problems among young people. For those engaged in prevention research, the text will provide useful reviews and current findings that should aid in directing future research activities.

Download or read book Gender Differences in Stress, Alcohol Consumption, and Cigarette Use Among College Students at San José State University written by Thomas Farleigh and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stress, alcohol consumption, and cigarette use represent three considerable threats to the mental and physical health within this country. Learning more about the prevalence and predictors of these threats in young adults may aid the development of programs to reduce the deleterious effects of these threats as young adult's age. A vast amount of research has been done to examine the possible association between stress and substance use in college students, but given the diversity of college students across the US, more research is needed targeting specific college campuses. This study did so with regard to a sample of students from San José State University (SJSU), in San José, California. The data were collected by the SJSU Student Health Center. Participants who reported having below average to no stress were more likely not to have consumed alcohol during the preceding 30 days. Those students who reported having above average to tremendous stress levels were more likely to have used alcohol at least once in the last 30 days. No significant relationship between stress and cigarette use was found. In terms of alcohol and cigarette use, participants who reported using alcohol at least once in the past 30 days were significantly more likely to have smoked at least once in the past 30 days. Women were more likely to report feelings of above-average stress than to men. Women were also significantly more likely to have smoked cigarettes in the last 30 days. Finally, no gender differences were found with regard to drinking habits. These findings provide information that may be helpful in guiding prevention, education, and treatment efforts on the SJSU campus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: College student alcohol use has consistently been recognized as a widespread public health concern across college campuses in the United States. The negative consequences that college student drinkers encounter as a result of excessive alcohol use has directed research on college alcohol use to examine effective interventions that could reduce negative consequences. Protective behavioral strategies (PBS) are one potential solution to the problem of college drinking and have been shown to reduce both alcohol use and negative consequences. This study examined the relationship between alcohol use, negative consequences, PBS, and gender. -- From abstract.

This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heavy drinking causes many problems for female college students including academic deficiency, social issues, and an increased risk for sexual assault. This study aimed to create a model of female college student drinking in order to determine the cause of the increase in female university student drinking over the past 25 years. A path analysis was run to examine this model and found masculinity, femininity, reflective norms, drinking for coping motives, and drinking for conformity motives to significantly predict alcohol use among college females. Significant indirect effects were also discovered from sex-role egalitarianism to alcohol use through coping motives and conformity motives and from reflective norms to alcohol use through coping motives. These results further expand the knowledge base on female college student alcohol use and may be used to direct further research and create more comprehensive models of alcohol use.
