Abstract

Using national data from the Core Alcohol and Drug Survey, the largest database on alcohol and drug use at postsecondary institutions in the U.S, this study investigates current alcohol use among Black undergraduate college students attending public U.S. higher education institutions. Specifically, the goals of this study are threefold: 1) to assess the extent and scope of alcohol use among Black undergraduate college students; 2) to describe gender, beliefs, and negative consequences about alcohol use; and 3) to develop strategic implications for policy and practice.
