| Abstract: | Introduction: Due to the lack of consensus in the literature regarding binge drinking among graduate students, this review is necessary. Objectives: The objective of this scoping review was to map the evidence related to binge drinking in this population. Methods: The review followed the guidelines of the Joanna Briggs Institute's Manual for Evidence Synthesis. Searches were conducted in recognized databases (MEDLINE®, EMBASE®, CINAHL®, LILACS®, PsycINFO®, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar) on June 25, 2024, and 10 studies were found that met the inclusion criteria. Results: The analysis of the articles revealed significant gaps in the literature, including methodological challenges, lack of conceptual standardization, and variability in the instruments used for measurement. Some studies indicated a lower prevalence of binge drinking among graduate students compared to undergraduates, while others identified persistent patterns of drinking in this population. Conclusions: Studies with more specific samples are essential to support the development of more effective and targeted interventions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
