Reasons for Utilizing Mental Health Services as Predictors of College Students' Alcohol Risk
Kenney, Shannon R.; Napper, Lucy E.; LaBrie, Joseph W.; Vaughn, Paige
Journal of College Counseling, v21 n2 p125-138 Jul 2018
The authors examined college student drinkers' (n = 153) reasons for seeking counseling services and risk for alcohol problems. Students seeking help for impulse- or anger-related issues and depression were at heightened risk for alcohol problems. Only 10% of students sought alcohol-related help despite high rates of hazardous alcohol use (80%) and dependence (39%). Targeted screening and intervention in college counseling centers may enable providers to effectively identify and treat students in need of alcohol treatment.
