Abstract
Welcome to Public Health Moment from the University of Minnesota. Binge drinking is common among active-duty military personnel, according to a new study released by the University of Minnesota and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In the study, involving more than 16,000 military personnel, binge drinking was reported by 43 percent of military personnel during the past month. How does one define binge drinking? Lead author of the study, Mandy Stahre, a University of Minnesota Ph.D. student, explains. <Clip: “So, binge drinking is defined…consequences are generally underreported.”> Stahre says the study shows that binge drinking is a significant public health problem. <Clip: “And the military may be in a unique position…screening and counseling for alcohol misuse.”> With another Public Health Moment, I’m John Finnegan.
