In addition to clinical level diagnostic problems, many college students engage in a range of high risk behaviors that can have both short and long term health implications. This is particularly true in the area of alcohol use. College students show high rates of binge drinking (White et al., 2002, 2004, 2006; White and Swartzwelder, 2009) and are also more likely to report driving under the influence of alcohol (Hingson et al., 2009). Further, alcohol use among college populations is associated with a number of adverse consequences, including academic problems, unwanted sexual encounters, legal consequences, assault, injury, suicide, and death (Wechsler et al., 2002; Hingson et al., 2009).
