Alcohol-related knowledge and attitudes as predictors of drinking behaviours among Portuguese university students
Regina Alves, José Precioso, Elisardo Becoña
Abstract
The reduction of the patterns of risky drinking remains a major public health problem and challenge in academic contexts, especially when scientific investigations reveal a high incidence of risky drinking among university students. The main aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of drinking behaviours of university students and their association with knowledge about alcohol consumption and general attitudes towards alcohol use.
