Binge Drinking Research Progress

Binge drinking is now usually used to refer to heavy drinking over an evening or similar time span - sometimes also referred to as heavy episodic drinking. Binge drinking is often associated with drinking with the intention of becoming intoxicated and, sometimes, with drinking in large groups. It is sometimes associated with physical or social harm. 9781606920657 BINGE DRINKING RESEARCH PROGRESS 3 CONTENTS 7 PREFACE 9 PUBLIC AND PROFESSIONAL CONCEPTUALISATIONS OF BINGE DRINKING: ARE WE ALL TALKING THE SAME LANGUAGE? 13 BACKGROUND 13 PROFESSIONAL CONCEPTUALISATIONS OF BINGE DRINKING 14 PUBLIC CONCEPTUALISATIONS OF BINGE DRINKING 19 THE STUDY 20 METHOD 21 RESULTS 22 CAUSES OF BINGE DRINKING 24 SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEMS CAUSED BY BINGE DRINKING 25 DISCUSSION 29 A CONCEPTUAL GAP? 33 CONCLUSION 33 REFERENCES 34 A TRIAL OF BRIEF PHYSICIAN ADVICE FOR THE TREATMENT OF PROBLEM DRINKING IN POLISH PRIMARY CARE PRACTICES 37 ABSTRACT 37 INTRODUCTION 38 METHODS 39 RESULTS 41 ALCOHOL USE OUTCOMES 44 HEALTH CARE UTILIZATION, ACCIDENTS, AND INJURIES 45 HEALTH STATUS OUTCOMES 45 DISCUSSION 45 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 47 REFERENCES 47 THE ROLE OF UNDERGRADUATE ROMANTIC PARTNERS' DRINKING AND BINGE DRINKING IN RELATIONSHIP QUALITY AND ALCOHOL-RELATED PROBLEMS* 51 ABSTRACT 51 INTRODUCTION 52 THE PRESENT STUDY AND HYPOTHESES 54 METHOD 56 RESULTS 61 CONCLUSION 64 REFERENCES 69 BINGE DRINKING IN ADOLESCENTS: RISK AND PROTECTIVE FACTORS 75 ABSTRACT 75 CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK: RISK AND PROTECTIVE FACTORS 77 RESULTS 80 ATTITUDES TOWARDS ALCOHOL AND BINGE DRINKING (SEE TABLE 2) 82 FINAL MODELS FOR HISPANIC AND WHITE YOUTH (SEE TABLES 3 AND 4) 84 DISCUSSION 87 IMPLICATIONS 89 APPENDIX A.
