| Abstract | ABSTRACT This study examined the alcohol consumption patterns and cultural attitudes toward drinking among Chinese and Korean American college students in California. Data were collected from a total of 294 participants comprising 127 Chinese and 167 Korean college students. Some of the major findings revealed that distinct ethnic and gender differences existed in the use of alcohol and attitudes toward drinking. Korean students in the study generally drank more frequently and consumed greater amounts of alcohol than their Chinese counterparts. Female participants were likely to drink less frequently and in smaller quantities than their male counterparts regardless of ethnicity. Korean students were more likely to view drinking as a socially acceptable practice and a means of facilitating social interactions than their Chinese counterparts. Culturally appropriate campus-wide strategies were presented for prevention and intervention of alcohol abuse on college campuses. |
