McIlvain, Melody P. Noland, and Robert Bickel  \nABSTRACT  \nBackground: Caffeine consumption by young people has increased dramatically over the last decade through increased coffee consumption and “energy drinks.” In higher amounts, caffeine causes many adverse effects that are cause for concern. Purpose: Purposes of this study were to determine: (1) the amount of caffeine consumed by a sample of college students, (2) beliefs regarding caffeine consumption, (3) reported perceived benefits and adverse effects of caffeine consumption,(4) reasons for consuming caffeine, and (5) predictors of caffeine consumption. Methods: An anonymous survey was administered 300 freshmen attending a southeastern university. Results: Eighty-three percent of the students reported having at least one sign/symptom of caffeine intoxication in the past; 51% reported having at least one sign/symptom of caffeine withdrawal. Students consumed three to five times the recommended amount of caffeine. Father’s social index, participation in organized activity in college and three alertness items (concentration, keep awake, wake up) were significant predictors of caffeine consumption. Discussion: Students ingested caffeine at levels that could cause negative health effects and seemed unaware of the total amount of caffeine consumed. Translation to Health Education Practice: More information about caffeine should be incorporated into health education at all levels, so students can identify and avoid negative effects along with caffeine withdrawal and addiction.  \nMcIlvain GE, Noland MP, Bickel R.

In 2002, retail sales of energy drinks totaled $1.2 bil-  \nlion but increased 440% to $6.6 billion in [2007. by 2011](2007. by 2011), energy drinks are expected to exceed $9 billion.3 A reported 31% of U.S. teens drink energy drinks, which have much more caffeine than a standard soft drink. For example, a 12-ounce serving of Amp contains 107 milligrams, Monster contains 120 milligrams and Spike Shooter contains 428 milligrams of caffeine compared to 34  \nGary E.

The national Coffee Association reported that in 2007, 37% of 18-24 yearolds drank coffee, an increase from 26% in 2005.5 Coffee drinks consumed by young people are often large, sweet drinks such as those sold at Starbucks. A 16-ounce Starbucks coffee contains 320 milligrams of caffeine, almost 10 times as much as that provided in a 12-ounce Coca-Cola.6 Whereas consumption of energy drinks and coffee is increasing, the consumption of soft drinks decreased from 2004 to 2009.7 However, American consumption of soft drinks was still 736 eight-ounce servings per capita in 2009, with the U.S. having the highest per capita consumption of carbonated soft drinks in the world.8 Caffeine content of soft drinks ranges from 0 mg to 71 mg per 12 oz. serving","cbCaidx3aMJC7A5F","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidx3aMJC7A5F","pdf",147898,"English","# Abstract\n## Background and Purpose\n## Methods\n## Results\n## Discussion and Health Education Translation","[{\"question\":\"What were the study’s main purposes?\",\"answer\":\"The study aimed to determine caffeine intake amount, beliefs about caffeine, perceived benefits and adverse effects, reasons for caffeine use, and predictors of consumption among college freshmen.\"},{\"question\":\"How common were caffeine intoxication and withdrawal symptoms?\",\"answer\":\"Eighty-three percent reported at least one sign or symptom of caffeine intoxication in the past, and 51% reported at least one sign or symptom of caffeine withdrawal.\"},{\"question\":\"Which factors predicted students’ caffeine consumption?\",\"answer\":\"Father’s social index, participation in organized college activity, and three alertness items (concentration, keeping awake, waking up) were significant predictors.\"}]","Caffeine Consumption Patterns and Beliefs of College Freshmen | PDF",25]
