abstract="This study explored the association between attendance at the &quot;Bud World Party,&quot; a family entertainment venue created by Anheuser-Busch for the 2002 Winter Olympics, and alcohol-related beliefs and current drinking behaviors for a group of 7th and 8th graders who attend a middle school in close proximity to the downtown Salt Lake City plaza where the exhibit and related events were located. Data were collected via a questionnaire administered to 283 students 30 days after the closing ceremonies.. Logistic regression was used to predict recent alcohol consumption. Significant predictors were race (non-white) (OR = 3.9), religiosity (OR = .72), having a parent who drinks (OR = 4.8), the number of best friends who drink (OR = 2.5), and the interaction for &quot;Bud World Party&quot; attendance and gender (OR = 33.2). Post-hoc analysis of the interaction effect indicated that the relationship between &quot;Bud World Party&quot; attendance and recent alcohol consumption is moderated by gender. Girls who visited &quot;Bud World Party&quot; were more likely than the boys to have consumed alcohol in the past 30 days. In addition, the girls who visited &quot;Bud World Party&quot; were more likely to believe that drinking would increase their chances of popularity at school than the students who did not.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
