ABSTRACT

The objective of this research was to assess the relationship of high-risk drinking while in college to early withdrawal from postsecondary educational institutions in the United States. The assumption is that college students who binge drink frequently are more likely to develop alcohol problems while in college and are less likely than other students to have successful college careers. The study utilizes an intercohort approach to examine dropout behavior using data from 1) the National Longitudinal Surveys of Youth (NLS79); and 2) the NLS surveys of Mother-child &Young Adults ( MCYA), an ongoing longitudinal survey consisting of merged data of the children of mothers who were participants in the original NLSY79. Drinking behavior and college career outcomes were assessed over a time period encompassing eight prospective waves, from baseline in 1982 to the year 2000. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that 1) Traditional predictors (and their interactions) that have been shown in previous studies to affect non-completion of academic goals remain important; and 2) Heavy, episodic binge drinking and consequential alcohol problem development are critically implicated and associated with an increased probability of academic failure and early departure from college.

INTRODUCTION Objectives The objective of this research is to assess the relationship of high-risk drinking while in college to attrition and early withdrawal from postsecondary educational institutions in the United States. Academic failure and non-completion of educational goals among college students may be serious outcomes of heavy episodic binge drinking. Such college students oftentimes experience a range of personal consequences including missed classes and poor academic performance which culminate in attrition and early departure.
