Factors related to increased alcohol misuse by students compared to non-students during the first Covid-19 lockdown in France: the Confins study

Table 5 Comparison of changes in binge-drinking frequency^a according to student status among current binge drinkers^b

	Students		Non-students		P value
	n	%	n	%
Increased use versus no change, N = 430					0.1673
• Increased use	24	9.6	25	13.9
• No change	226	90.4	155	86.1
Increased use versus “no change or decreased use”, N = 900					0.0102
• Increased use	24	4.1	25	8.1
• No change or decreased use	569	95.9	282	91.9

^aThe change in binge-drinking frequency during lockdown was explored in those who drank alcohol at least once a month and had previously experienced binge-drinking during the past 12 months
^bAnalyses excluded 116 participants declaring “no usual use” in response to the question, "If you drink six drinks of alcohol on one occasion and in a short time, has it happened more frequently since lockdown?"
