Psychosocial Patterns of Alcohol Abuse in a College Population.

Beck, Kenneth H.

Journal of Alcohol and Drug Education, v28 n2 p64-72 Win 1983

Studied the relationship of psychosocial factors to alcohol abuse among college students (N=272). The psychosocial profile of the college student alcohol abuser was that of a male underclassman, who tends to consume beer more often and in greater quantities than nonabusers. Alcohol abusers may consume alcohol to handle adjustment problems. (JAC)
