Uso de álcool e expectativas do beber entre universitários: uma análise das diferenças entre os sexos
TLDR
For instance, the authors found that men showed significantly higher prevalence of yearly alcohol use, problematic use, and binge drinking compared to women. But, this relationship was significant only for men.Abstract:
Alcohol use and drinking expectations of men and women were compared, verifying the relationship between variables. A sample of 238 college students responded to the AUDIT and AEQ-A. Men showed significantly higher prevalence of yearly alcohol use, problematic use and binge drinking. Expectations of global positive changes and sexual enhancement were greater among men. A positive correlation was found between expectations and severity of problems associated with alcohol consumption for both sexes, however, this relationship was significant only for men. Results indicated that differences of drinking expectations between the sexes may have an important role in more precise and effective preventive actions on alcohol use of men and women.read more
