Title: to talk about?; if you want to keep the slide, explain in more details what the sections will include

3. Background Vigo University, Spain. Pontevedra Campus.

4. Sample Pontevedra Campus, 3467 students (2010) N=985 Heads of Schools
Lecturers
I would put Pontevedra Campus, 3467 students (2010) or 2010: Pontevedra Campus, 3467 students. Change N by n.
Students, self-reported and validated questionnaire

5. Sample distribution
Replace N by n and put n=985 students not Students. For the labels, males females instead of male, female? Put blue instead of blue to stay consistent with the rest of the slides?

6. Measures Alcohol (Frequency, amount, binge drinking per week)
Tobacco (cigarettes per day)
Illicit drugs (types, last week)
Frequency, types, amount are in arial 16 and the other text « per day and types » is arial 18. Put Eroski consumer in the middle. What is Eroski consumer? Put a border to the pictures?
Eroski consumer

7. Aim: Patterns of consumption
Health-related Degrees
(PA+SC, Nursing, Physiotherapy)
Education-related Degrees
(Childcare, Primary, PE…)
Write down the objective of the study
Non-Health or non-Education
related Degrees
(Engineering, Fine arts, Advertising and Public
Relation, Audio-visual communication)

8. Statistical Analyses Odds Ratio (OR) 95% CI Chi-square test. 95% CI
To assess the association between drugs consumption and different groups
Chi-square test. 95% CI
To compare the difference between the consumption median for each group
Mantel-Haenszel test
To stratify the analysis according to gender and academic training
Text in brackets is Calibri 16 for group A and B but is Calibri 11 for group C.

9. Analyses Academic Disciplines Licit Drugs Illicit Drugs

10. WEEKEND, 77% of students drank alcohol (p<0.05)
Results: Alcohol
WEEKEND, 77% of students drank alcohol (p<0.05)
Binge drinking,
Male: 8 or + SDU
Female: 6 or + SDU
FEMALE vs. MALE
56% vs. 41%
(p< 0.001)
Males: 83.7%
Females: 73.8%
I would not put a capital letter for Students. Males/females, define binge drinking. Make the first sentence clearer especially for the weekend part

11. Results: Tobacco 34% of students were habitual smokers (p<0.05)11
34% of students were habitual smokers (p<0.05)
(8+ cigarettes per day) 1
Particularly WOMEN, 35% vs. 32% (p=0.38)
I would just put 34% and not 1/3 because it is the same information. Or you can say 1/3 for the oral presentation. Define habitual smkiers.

12. Results: Illegal Drugs12
35.4% had used illegal drugs in the last week
Higher prevalence among MEN, 45% vs. 31% (p< 0.001)
No significant differences in daily use (p=0.22)
The sentence in the midlles is calibri 26 and not calibri 28. Add p-value for second line.

13. Results: Academic Disciplines13
Alcohol use: No significant differences (p>0.05)
Tobacco use: 40% of C & B vs. 20% of A (p<0.05)
Illegal drugs: 44% of C vs. 30% of A & B (p<0.05)
P<0.05 should be significant? Or put the sign the other way around. Redifine groups A, B and C;
Group A: PA+SC, Nursing, Physiotherapy.
Group B: Childcare, Primary, PE, Musical Education
Group C: Engineering, Fine arts, Advertising and Public Relation, Audio-visual communication.

14. Summary Tobacco Illegal Drugs Alcohol Lowest rate: group A14
WEEKEND Binge drinking: WOMEN No sig. differences between groups (p>0.05)
Alcohol
WOMEN
Lowest rate: group A
Sig. differences between groups (p<0.05)
Tobacco
Illegal Drugs
Change the sign of p value as it is wrong. I will put summary instead of summarize?
MEN
Lowest use: group A
Sig. differences between groups (p<0.05)

15. Conclusion Binge drinking results - population distribution (2,3)15
Binge drinking results - population distribution (2,3)
Binge drinking strongly related to university life style (4,5)
Spanish students doing health-related degrees (A) smoked less (6,7) & less drugs use. (8,9) Illegal drugs &
