High Risk Drinking

The present study examined the relationship between high risk drinking and college students' self-perceptions. High risk drinking was defined as the consumption of four or more drinks in a row for women and five or more drinks in a row for men during a single sitting (within the last year). Historical trends regarding college-age drinking indicate that 44% of college students fit the criteria for high risk drinking at least once over the past year. A survey was administered to 210 college students (52 men and 158 women) between 18 and 22 years of age ( M = 20.9, SD = 1.3) to assess their use of alcohol and their self-perceptions. Students' self-perceptions were measured with four subscales from the Neemann-Harter Self-perception Profile for College Students. Students either volunteered to participate in this study outside of class or were solicited during class. It was predicted that students' self-perceptions would differ significantly depending upon their alcohol consumption, i.e., 17.1% were Abstainers, 25.2% were Nonproblem Drinkers, and 57.6% were High Risk Drinkers. Analysis gave significant difference on Global Self-worth between students who abstained and those who were High Risk Drinkers. However, students' perceptions of Scholastic Competence, Intellectual Ability, and Social Acceptance did not differ significantly for the alcohol consumption groups. In addition to high risk drinking, a number of other variables were associated with self-perceptions, such as high school alcohol use, low high school GPA, and students' reported academic involvement. These relations are discussed.

A survey of 4,202 students enrolled in the State University System of Florida from 1986 to 1988 showed that 14 percent started drinking in elementary school, 34 percent started in middle school, 45 percent in high school, and 7 percent in college. A General Linear Models analysis of variance procedure showed that the time of first drink significantly predicted the quantity-frequency of alcohol consumption and the incidence of alcohol-related problems reported by students in college. Students who started to drink while in elementary and middle school reported significantly higher levels of consumption and problems than those who started drinking while in high school or college.

Meta Analyses

Three meta-analyses find increases over the generations in Rosenberg Self-Esteem scale (RSE) scores between 1988 and 2008 among American middle school ( d = 0.78, n = 10,119), high school ( d = 0.39, n = 16,669), and college students ( d = 0.30, n = 28,918). The changes are consistent with an increasing emphasis on self-worth in American culture and, for high school students, with small increases in academic competence over time. College students’ scores change only when the RSE is administered with a 4-point Likert scale with no midpoint. By 2008, a score of 40 (perfect self-esteem) was the modal response of college students, chosen by 18% of participants; 51% scored 35 or over. Given these shifts in responses, the possibility of revising the RSE is discussed.

Abstract Background: The use of psychoactive substances is the main cause of morbidity and becomes important public health and socio-economic issue worldwide. However, there is a lack of evidence on the magnitude of current use substances among students in Ethiopia. Therefore, this review and meta-analysis aimed to provide comprehensive views of the current prevalence of substance use among students in Ethiopia.Methods: Literature searches were done from electronic biomedical databases; PubMed/Medline, HINARI, AJOL, Google Scholar, Science Direct and manully seared master thesis and dissertation done until 31/12/2019. Two authors autonomously selected studies, extracted data, and evaluated the quality of studies. The prevalence of current substances with 95% confidence interval (95%) estimated using the random-effects model. The results were displayed using forest plots, and Cochrane Q-test and I2 use to measure the extents of between-study variations.Results: A total of 1543 study articles were identified from electronic databases, and 32 of them were included in the meta-analysis. The prevalence of current use of at least one substance was 37.63% (95% CI: 33.66, 41.69; I2=91.2%, P<0.00), alcohol 27.61% (95%CI: 22.10, 33.48; I2=98.08%, P<0.00), khat 17.20% (95%CI: 14.03, 20.62; I2=97.2%, p<0.00) and smoking 9.74% (95%CI: 7.17, 12.64; I2=95.06%, P<0.00). Subgroup analysis revealed that the prevalence of any substance by high school students versus university/college students was 41.55% (95% CI: 38.83, 44.29) vs 36.24% (95% CI: 32.37, 40.20), alcohol 24.21% (95% CI: 14.05, 36.11) vs 25.27% (95% CI: 19.76, 31.20), khat 13.82% (95% CI: 8.61, 20.02) vs 17.30% (95%CI:13.75, 21.16), and cigarette 8.30% (95% CI: 1.89, 18.60) vs 9.80% (95% CI: 7.32, 12.58). Meta-regression analysis revealed publication year, sample size, female proportion, and age was not significantly associated with the current use of substances.Conclusion: The prevalence of the current use of substances was high and highlights the extent the problem among students in Ethiopia. Overall currrent substance use was high for all substances use categories; any substance, alcohol, chewing khat and smoking cigarettes. Comparable to university/college students a significant propoartion of high school students were already using susbstances before joining teritiary education. Caution is needed while interpreting the findings due to significant heterogeneity between studies. Policymakers should formulate and implement strictly binding regulations to control the pervasive use of substances around educational institution sites at the national level. Protocol registration: The protocol has been registered on 19 Auguest 2019 on PROSPERO (the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews) with ID: CDR42019130560.

Pleasant Events

An Alcohol Consumption Questionnaire was designed to investigate 104 high school and 104 college students' drinking patterns in actual and hypothetical pleasant, unpleasant, and neutral situations. Students were also given Rotter's I-E Locus of Control Scale and Rosenberg's Self-esteem Inventory. College students drank significantly more than high school students after experiencing hypothetical pleasant events. Both groups drank more after hypothetical pleasant events than hypothetical unpleasant events and hypothetical neutral events. There were no significant group differences after experiencing hypothetical unpleasant events or neutral events. Students with high scores on locus of control tended to have higher self-esteem, greater drinking after hypothetical unpleasant events, hypothetical and actual pleasant events, and hypothetical and actual neutral events. Frequencies of actual drinking and hypothetical drinking were highly correlated.
