Binge drinking (a male drinking 5 or more drinks in one setting and a female drinking 4 or more drinks in one setting) has become very common in young adults that go to a 4-year college. Binge drinking is linked to higher levels of injuries, sexual and physical assaults, higher criminal activity, unprotected sex, missing […]
C56-P: The Relationship Between Race and Alcohol Consumption in College Students’ Social Networks
Alcohol consumption is a problem among college students. Annually, 1,800 students age 18 to 24, die due to alcohol related injuries and accidents (Hingson et al., 2009). Recently, rates of alcohol consumption have increased among college students (Schulenberg et al., 2019). Among college students, research has shown that a person’s peer group is one of […]
B48-P: The Interplay of Music and Alcohol in Regulating College Students’ Mood
Alcohol is a public health concern across university campuses and is known to regulate individuals’ mood. It has been evidenced that alcohol’s impact on mood yields negative consequences such as impaired judgment and an increase in drinking to cope. Drinking to cope is very common among college students and has been shown to increase one’s […]
B50-P: The Relationship Between Feelings of Discrimination, Binge Drinking, and Suicidal Ideation Among Minority College Students
Previous research has found a relationship between discrimination and negative health outcomes, particularly pertaining to mental health, among sexual minorities. It has been found that sexual minorities have higher rates of suicidal ideation than non-minority college students. Suicidal ideation refers to an individual’s thoughts, plans, or considerations of taking one’s life. Heavy drinking also continues […]
B63: The Relationship Between Racial and Sexual Identity and Suicidal Ideation Among College Students Who Binge Drink
Suicidal ideation is a public health issue. In fact, 33% of college students have at least one suicidal thought annually (Becker, Holdaway, & Luebbe, 2018). In combination, binge drinking has gained popularity among college students. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to examine the impact of college student binge drinking on suicidal ideation with […]
C14: Expanding upon the potential of a common breathalyzer sensor
The tin oxide electrochemical sensor is the active component in the personal breathalyzer used for ethanol detection. The sensor works by ethanol vapor reacting with oxygen species adsorbed to the SnO2 surface, then releasing trapped electrons back into the conduction band which changes the output voltage. However, to the best of our knowledge, the analytical […]
C70: Sex differences in alcohol seeking behavior in four-core genotype mice
The purpose of our study is to determine whether hormones or chromosomes have a greater impact on the motivation to seek alcohol in a mouse model. Studies have found that sex differences exist for alcohol consumption between both humans and rodents, and female rodents consistently consume more alcohol than males (Füllgrabe et al., 2007). The […]
B13: Potential Health Problems by Alcohol Consumption in Adolescent Rats due to Changes in the Gut Microbiome
Alcohol is the most widely used substance among Americans, including adolescents and adults. Adult binge drinking and high alcohol consumption increase risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Alcohol consumption causes dysbiotic changes in the composition and bacterial metabolites of gut microbiota, suggesting that microbiome changes may underlie alcohol-induced risk for type 2 diabetes. Most published […]
C69: Influence of Sex in the Alcohol Drinking Behaviors Using the Four Core Genotype Mouse Model
Differences in addiction behavior between the sexes is a topic of great interest in both the behavioral neuroscience field and to the general public. In alcohol use disorder, women often consume greater volumes of alcohol and may be more susceptible to stress-induced relapse. To investigate behaviors such as these and their causes, a transgenic mouse […]
