Abstract

Abstract

Objective To explore the risk factors affecting alcohol abuse among Chinese medical students and to provide scientific basis for reducing harmful use of alcohol. Methods Cases and controls were all selected from the investigation of alcohol abuse among medical students in Jiangsu Province. The 319 respondents reporting perpetrating alcohol abuse behaviors were enrolled to the case group. Two controls were selected for each case from those participants who did not abuse alcohol. Matching was based on gender, major and grade. Univariate conditional Logistic regression analysis and multivariate conditional Logistic regression analysis were carried out using SPSS 22.0. Results Drinking rate of medical students in Jiangsu Province was 44.59%, and the incidence of alcohol abuse was 8.25%. Multi-conditional Logistic regression analysis indicated that minorities (OR=4.800, 95% CI: 2.487-9.262), the per capita monthly income of less than 2 000 yuan (OR=4.660, 95% CI: 2.600-8.350), the per capita monthly income of 2 000-6 000 yuan (OR=1.764, 95% CI: 1.142-2.725), the per capita monthly income of more than 10 000 yuan (OR=2.395, 95% CI: 1.456-3.941), drinking is necessary to adapt to society (OR=1.768, 95% CI: 1.071-2.920), drinking may not be necessary to adapt to society (OR=1.948, 95% CI: 1.311-2.894), extroverted personality (OR=1.651, 95% CI: 1.126-2.423), having some emotional stress (OR=1.812, 95% CI: 1.283-2.558), having great emotional stress (OR=7.207, 95% CI: 3.970-13.085), smoking behavior (OR=5.352, 95% CI: 3.325-8.612) were related factors of alcohol abuse among medical students. Conclusions The situation of alcohol abuse among medical students is related to their ethnicity, personality, smoking, emotional stress, attitudes about whether drinking is necessary to adapt to society, and monthly household income per capita. Preventive intervention measures should be taken to reduce the incidence of alcohol abuse.
