Alcohol and Drug use by Students on a University Campus in Thailand.
This survey was conducted with 501 students from a university in eastern Thailand. The questionnaire was based on the Core Alcohol and Drug Survey designed to survey U.S. higher-education students throughout the United States. It has been translated into Thai language with some modifications in content. Stratified cluster sampling was done based on year in attendance and Faculty (School) affiliation. Two-thirds of the respondents were female. Results showed that males are more involved in alcohol and drug use than females and suffer more consequences as a result. Although Thai students do not use these addictive substances as frequently as U.S. students, there is still cause for concern regarding alcohol use. The number of family members reported by students as having a problem with alcohol or drugs is especially significant.
