Alcohol consumption during the COVID-19 pandemic among French-speaking Belgian students : uncertainty and psychological distress
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a deleterious impact on students. Studies showed an increase in anxiety-depressive symptoms and changes in certain health behaviours (smoking, drugs, etc.). The aim of the present study is to measure whether students' alcohol consumption changed during the third confinement (frequency and quantity) in relation to the factor of intolerance to uncertainty. The study was conducted on a sample of 273 French-speaking Belgian students (Universities and High Schools). The students answered questionnaires measuring their psycho-emotional state, alcohol consumption and intolerance of uncertainty and its mechanisms. Results showed that 65 % of the students had anxiety symptoms. Alcohol consumption remained moderate, with 85 % having not changed the frequency of consumption and 89 % their quantity of alcohol. Finally, the results indicated that the increase in alcohol consumption was essentially linked to positive expectations about the effects of alcohol, but not to measures of anxiety or intolerance of uncertainty. The study highlights the need for national prevention strategies to detect psychological distress in post-pandemic students.
