Abstract Details

2010, MS, University of Cincinnati, Education : Health Promotion and Education.
This study examined the extent to which selected social cognitive theory constructs predict alcohol use and binge drinking behaviors among Asian Indian students. A 46-item valid and reliable questionnaire was administered online to college students (n=245) at two large Mid-western universities. Regression analyses were run to examine significant relationships between the theoretical constructs and drinking variables. Sixty-two percent of the Indian students consumed alcohol in the past 30 days. Significant relationship was found (p < 0.05) between gender and binge drinking in the past 30 days (44.1% males vs. 7.2% females). Self-efficacy (p < 0.001) and self control (p < 0.005) were significant predictors for average number of drinks consumed in a week (R2 = 0.167) and number of days alcohol consumed in the past 30 days (R2 = 0.177). Alcohol use is a significant problem among Asian Indian college students and interventions for this community may be built based on SCT constructs.
