Abstract

Objective: Little research has focused on the drinking issues at minority serving institutions. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships among personal psychological distress, mental well-being, self-esteem, and alcohol-related problems. Participants: 360 undergraduate students were recruited at a public university in the Southwest US. Methods: A cross-sectional design survey was conducted. One-way ANOVA and multiple regression analyses were utilized. Results: Male students experienced more alcohol-related problems than female students. Statistically significant correlations were found among life satisfaction and loneliness, life satisfaction and self-esteem, life satisfaction and alcohol-related problems, and self-esteem and loneliness. The predictor variables accounted for 21% of the variance explained in drinking-related negative consequences. Conclusions: A lower level of life satisfaction was associated with a higher level of drinking-related negative consequences. Provide mentorship to Hispanic first-generation college students. Future research to examine the impact of biculturalism, familismo, and personality on drinking motives.
