Background & Study Goals
Much of what is known about alcohol use in late adolescence has come from studies with college student samples. As a result, less is known about alcohol use by youth who do not attend college. In order to address this gap, this study addresses two questions:
1 – Are there differences between college and non-college youth in frequency, quantity and age of initiation of drinking?
2 – Are the same psychological characteristics associated with frequency and quantity of alcohol use in college and non-college youth?

Method
Data for this poster came from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY). A cohort of 619 youth ages 19-25 at the 2002 wave of data collection and their mothers were selected for analyses (see Table 1 for sample characteristics). Based on theory and prior research, several youth and maternal factors believed to be associated with alcohol use were selected from several waves of the NLSY (see Table 2). Youth were classified as "college students" (ever having attended college) or "non-students" (never having attended college) based on their replies to several questions in the young adult survey (1998, 2000 and 2002 waves).
