Perceptions of alcohol policy and drinking behavior: Results of a latent class analysis of college student drinkers
چکیده انگلیسی

ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to extend the limited research on college student support for alcohol control policies by using a latent class analysis to examine the shared characteristics of drinking students who support or oppose such policies.MethodsWe used data from a sample of 2393 students drawn from a larger study on high risk drinking at a mid-western university. Data was collected between October 2005 and May 2007. We conducted a latent class analysis to identify sub-groups of drinking students based on relevant variables.ResultsThe results of the latent class analysis yielded a model which could correctly classify 90% of the students taking the survey into one of four “classes” based upon their response to four items on the questionnaire.ConclusionsInterventions would benefit from approaches that target both student perceptions and specific policies that are most conducive to student support and engagement.
