Introduction.
Globally, alcohol is one of the most prevalent forms of substance use that is particularly high among young age groups.
Despite the adverse health and social challenges associated with alcohol use, it is one of the most common risky behaviours among university students.
Objective.
This study aimed to assess the prevalence of alcohol use and associated factors among Dilla University students in Southern Ethiopia.
Methods.
An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted at Dilla University among undergraduate regular students from January to February 2018.
A systematic random sampling technique was used to get a total sample of 803 students each year from the department of the university.
The collected data were coded, entered into Epi Info version 7.1, and analyzed with SPSS version 20.
Results.
A total of 803 participants were successfully interviewed with a response rate of 91.7%.
Alcohol use prevalence was 41.8% (n = 336) among participants.
Being in fourth year (AOR = 2.66, 95% CI: 1.64, 4.31), having friends who use the substance (AOR = 1.53, 95% CI: 1.09, 2.1), being a khat user (AOR = 1.48, 95% CI: 1.05, 2.09), and being a cigarette smoker (AOR = 1.76, 95% CI: 1.09, 2.84) were found to be significantly associated with alcohol use.
Conclusion.
The current study revealed that fourth-year students, having friends who use the substance, being khat user, and being cigarette smoker had higher odds of alcohol use among the students.
So the findings suggest that effective campus-based counselling and peer education should be implemented for early prevention, detection, and alleviation of alcohol use among students in the university.
