Harvard School of Public Health College Alcohol Study, 1997

This study resurveyed colleges that participated in the HARVARD SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH COLLEGE ALCOHOL STUDY, 1993 (ICPSR 6577). As in the 1993 survey, this survey focused on alcohol use and alcohol problems among undergraduate college students. The survey collected information on students' use of alcohol, tobacco, and illicit drugs, views on campus alcohol policies and student alcohol use, reasons for drinking alcohol and reasons for not drinking or limiting drinking, and personal difficulties caused by drinking problems (e.g., missed classes, injury, and trouble with police). Additional topics covered by the survey include overall health status, daily activities, satisfaction with education being received, grade-point average, living arrangements, social life, sexual activity, use of condoms during sexual intercourse, date rape, drunk driving, and attendance in meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous, Alanon, Adult Children of Alcoholics, and Narcotics Anonymous. Background variables include age, sex, marital status, religion, mother's and father's drinking habits, race, and Hispanic origin.
