ObjectiveExamine the relationship between alcohol consumption and alcohol related consequences (ARCs) for college students at a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI). ParticipantsRandom sample of 375 students at a large university in the pacific south-west. MethodsCross sectional study using an online version of the ACHA-NCHA II survey. Chi-square tests and stepped logistic regression models were conducted to explore the relationship between race/ethnicity and the experience of any alcohol-related consequence, adjusting for covariates. ResultsAmong heavy drinkers, Hispanic students, compared to White students, were 65.9% less likely to report one or more ARC (OR= 0.34, 95%CI = 0.15, 0.79). ConclusionsGiven the severity of alcohol related consequences in the college population, the potential protective environmental effects of attending a HSI warrant further study.
