N2  - AIMS: To examine changes in alcohol intake and consequences in Italian students studying abroad. <br><br>METHODS: Italian exchange students planning to study abroad were invited to report on their drinking and alcohol-related negative consequences before and after their time abroad. <br><br>RESULTS: After excluding those who abstained throughout, data on 121 students were analysed and showed that they tended to consume more alcohol and experience more alcohol-related negative consequences compared to their pre-departure levels. <br><br>CONCLUSION: The added alcohol risk of study abroad for Italian students merits consideration of possible opportunities for intervention.<br><br>© The Author 2016.
