title: Alcohol use and abuse in college students. II. Social/environmental correlates, methodological issues, and implications for intervention.
abstract: This review of alcohol use and abuse in college students presents a summary of the relationships between college student alcohol use and social/environment characteristics. A theoretical integration of the findings of this review with those of Part I of this series supports the prior paper's finding of two patterns of college drinking. This review further suggests that the two types may have differential predictive ability with regard to future problem drinking. Methodological issues in this type of research are reviewed and implications for intervention are considered.
