Abstract
The PURPOSE of this brief report was to describe possible high risk students for drinking problems by personal, academic and institutional demographic variables. METHODS: A national sample of college students during the 1987-1988 academic year at institutions that had previously partaken in a study of post-secondary colleges and universities drinking patterns and problems since 1982 completed the Student Alcohol Questionnaire (SAQ). RESULTS: in this sample of around 3,400 students, who drank at least once a year, it was found that a significant (p<.05) higher percent of males, whites, Roman Catholic and Protestants whose religion allowed drinking, those to whom-religion was not important, had a low grade point average, were freshmen, those living in the North East, were heavy or “at risk” drinkers and to exhibited problems related to alcohol. These results are reported in tables.
