Exploratory analysis reveals limited knowledge of the impact of excessive alcohol consumption on college students' biopsychosocial health, suggesting a need for education.
Objective: To examine the perception and knowledge of emerging adult college students regarding the consequences of excessive alcohol consumption on their biopsychosocial health and current and future well-being. Method: This exploratory, descriptive, qualitative study was conducted with 31 college students. A form with a QR code was made available online to provide information about the study. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, transcribed using Turbo Scribe and the reports were analyzed using content analysis with the support of Atlas.ti software. Results: Participants demonstrated limited knowledge about what constitutes excessive alcohol consumption and its impact on health. These findings underscore the need for ongoing awareness and health education initiatives aimed at expanding knowledge and supporting informed decisions about alcohol use.
