Thesis (MSc (Psychology))--University of Limpopo, 2011. / South Africa has a long history of alcohol use. Traditionally alcohol was used on specific occasions, and, only after the introduction of commercial alcohol, was it used by the youth, women and males on a more regular social basis. Colonialism and separate development discriminated against Blacks, who were disenfranchised and they were also not allowed to buy, use or sell alcohol freely under specific laws. After South Africa became a democratic country in 1994 all such regulation was taken out of the statute books and all South Africans over the age of eighteen could buy, sell or use alcohol subject to certain conditions. The breweries expanded their markets and advertising campaigns were introduced to target the previously disenfranchised groups. As a result of this South Africans, particularly students’ are rated high in terms of alcohol consumption. Health and social problems related to alcohol escalated as well. The research design for the study is a randomised non-experimental survey design. The study uses both qualitative and quantitative techniques to analyse the data which is consistent with a mixed method approach. Descriptive statistics and the chi-square are used to analyse the majority of the data while Thematic Content analysis is used analyse qualitative data. The results underpinprevious research in that students have the tendency to use and abuse alcohol with negative academic and social consequences. It was found that both males and femaleshave similar drinking patterns in terms of when they drink, how much they drink and what type of alcohol they drink. Students of both sexes were generally found to have poor knowledge about alcohol. Qualitative results suggest that some students are aware that moderate alcoholconsumption is socially acceptable and responsible behaviour. However, they are also aware that there is a problem with alcohol use and abuse amongst their peers.

Thesis (MPH)-- University of Limpopo (Medunsa Campus), 2012. / Alcohol use and abuse is highly prevalent among university students and it is a major health concern for universities across the globe. It is important to identify students at risk of, and those who engage in heavy drinking and the reasons thereof so that early identification and referral for intervention can be made before students at risk suffer dire consequences. The aim .of this study was to determine the pattern of alcohol use among the health care science students at the University of Limpopo (Medunsa campus). A quantitative, cross-sectional approach was utilised. Data was gathered by the use of a self administered questionnaire. Stratified and cluster techniques were used to obtain the sample. Descriptive statistics was used to describe data and explore relationships. Relationships between variables of interest were established by using the Spearman's rank correlation coefficient (rho). The prevalence of alcohol use among the participants was relatively low (23%). 15% of respondents were categorized as light drinkers, 3.5% moderate drinkers and 3.5% heavy drinkers. The respondents scored the lowest on the Peer Pressure motive for alcohol use (35.6%) and equal on the Personal Enjoyment and Tension Reduction category, both having mean scores of39% respectively. The Spearman's rho revealed statistically significant relationships among the different types of drinking categories and the following drinking motives: to experience a good time, to feel good, to cheer up and to ease when blamed. This studies finding revealed that the prevalence of alcohol use among health care science students at the University of Limpopo (Medunsa campus) was exceptionally low. The study also brought to light that social motives for drinking was the primary drinking motive and the correlations between the patterns and motives for drinking were only found among four sub categories from the drinkin motives sub-scales.
