title: Comparison of Student Self-Reported and Administrative Data Regarding Intercession into Alcohol Misuse among College Freshmen Dormitory Residents.
abstract: Intercession into collegiate alcohol misuse by the Department of Resident Live (DRL) in freshmen dormitories at one large, Mid-Atlantic, diverse, public university was examined. Freshmen dormitory resident drinkers (n=357), 71% of whom reported alcohol misuse, were surveyed. Student self-report and DRL documentation, respectively, revealed that 6.4% and 7.8% (Kappa=.77) of drinkers were documented with an alcohol violation, 4.2% and 3.4% (Kappa=.81) lost housing priority points, 1.4% and .6% (Kappa=.28) were referred for alcohol counseling, and 1.4% and .3% (Kappa = .33) were taken to the emergency room. DRL infrequently interceded into alcohol misuse, perhaps because most misuse occurred off-campus.
