Abstract

From 1975 through 1994, Engs collected data from students in health classes using the Student Alcohol Questionnaire (SAQ) around the nation. In the later years other scales were added such as the Codependency Scale (CODE) and the Student Health and Lifestyle Questionnaire (SHLS) to gain additional material to test hypotheses concerning alcohol, drugs and other variables. Engs databases were also used with other co-authors to test different hypotheses internationally and nationally. These latter studies included the development of the Codependency check list (CODE), and comparison with students from Australian, Scottish, Canadian, and Polish universities. They were also used to test hypotheses concerning drinking and illness, stress, exercise and lifestyles.

Description

Data were collected by survey instruments and were coded onto magnetic tapes and later directly into mainframe computers. ....NOTE: corrupted files resulting from transfer from magnetic tape to unix format in 2002 are included in this dataset as a safety mechanism against inadvertent loss of crucial data points and for provenance.

Keywords

Datasets from 1975-1994 on college student drinking behaviors, knowledge of alcohol, and attitudes. Data bases were also used for other national and international studies.
