Abstract/Notes

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the percentage of chiropractic students who exhibit hazardous and harmful alcohol behavior.

Method: The preintern students of Los Angeles College of Chiropractic, Southern California University of Health Sciences, were surveyed with the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT).

Results: Of the 287 students, 225 (78.4%) completed the AUDIT survey. Scores from the AUDIT showed that 20.3% scored 8 or more, which indicates hazardous and harmful drinking. There was a significant relationship for male students. Those at risk were more likely to spend more money on a night out drinking.

Conclusions: One-fifth of chiropractic students surveyed exhibited hazardous and harmful drinking behaviors. Alcohol prevention and awareness should be presented to chiropractic students for personal and professional growth.
