Pubs/bars/nightclubs accounted for 51% of all alcohol consumed, followed by residential halls (34%), student flats/houses (9%), and other locations (6%). Episodes resulting in intoxication comprised 61% of all drinking episodes in pubs/bars/nightclubs, 55% in student flats/houses, 53% in residential halls, and 37% in other locations. Multi-level analyses revealed positive associations between the first three location types (relative to ‘other’) and intoxication among women. Drinking in pubs/bars/nightclubs was associated with intoxication among men. Other significant predictors included hazardous drinking in the respondent's residential hall, pre-university drinking, and first-year status. Student intoxication is commonplace in licensed premises and residential halls. These environments are amenable to interventions to reduce the incidence of intoxication.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:38:18 AEST ]]> Non-response bias in a web-based health behaviour survey of New Zealand tertiary students https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:11845 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:35:42 AEST ]]> Web-based screening and brief intervention for hazardous drinking: a double-blind randomized controlled trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:1938 80 g ethanol, males > 120 g ethanol), number of personal problems, an academic problems score. Intervention Participants were randomized to 10–15 minutes of web-based assessment and personalized feedback on their drinking (intervention, n = 51) or to a leaflet-only control group (n = 53). Findings Mean baseline AUDIT scores for control and intervention groups were 16.6 (SD = 6.0) and 16.6 (SD = 5.7). At 6 weeks, participants receiving e-SBI reported significantly lower total consumption (geometric mean ratio = 0.74; 95% confidence interval: 0.56–0.96), lower heavy episode frequency (0.63; 0.42–0.92) and fewer personal problems (0.70; 0.54–0.91). At 6 months personal problems remained lower (0.76; 0.60–0.97), although consumption did not differ significantly. At 6 months, academic problems were lower in the intervention group relative to controls (0.72; 0.51–1.02). Conclusions e-SBI reduced hazardous drinking among university students, to an extent similar to that found for practitioner-delivered brief interventions in the general population. e-SBI offers promise as a strategy to reduce alcohol-related harm in a way that is non-intrusive, appealing to the target group, and capable of being incorporated into primary care. Research is required to replicate the findings, to determine the duration of intervention effects, and to investigate the mechanisms by which the intervention operates.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:26:16 AEST ]]> Interpretation of items on the AUDIT questionnaire https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:2741 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:41:46 AEST ]]> High prevalence, presistent hazardous drinking in New Zealand tertiary students https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:2738 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:55:33 AEST ]]> Neighbourhood deprivation and access to alcohol outlets: a national study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:8042 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:35:03 AEDT ]]> Minimum purchasing age for alcohol and traffic crash injuries among 15-to 19-year-olds in New Zealand https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:1981 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:33:15 AEDT ]]> The Alcohol Reform Bill: more tinkering than reform in response to the New Zealand public's demand for better liquor laws https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:12536 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:17:19 AEDT ]]> The role of drinking locations in university student drinking: findings from a national web-based survey https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:10171 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:12:31 AEDT ]]> Alcohol in our lives: a once-in-a generation opportunity for liquor law reform in New Zealand (editorial) https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26233 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:24:04 AEDT ]]> Randomized controlled trial of web-based alcohol screening and brief intervention in primary care https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:4462 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:18:29 AEDT ]]>
