Two groups of binge drinkers were identified, one reporting bingeing more than twice per week (n = 645), and one bingeing 1–2 times per week (n = 237). A third group did not report binge drinking (n = 474). A higher readiness to change binge drinking was associated with more frequent bingeing, more interpersonal and academic problems with alcohol, less frequent use of cannabis, and living in a hall with a norm of binge drinking. The contemplation ladder for alcohol was sensitive to other alcohol-related behaviours, and may be useful in surveys of drinking where a brief measure of readiness to change is needed.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:24:04 AEDT ]]>
