Abstract

Data were collected on 190 students who presented with drug and alcohol use concerns at a large Midwestern university counseling center over 3 academic years. Based on DSM-III-R criteria, 51% of all subjects met the criteria for Alcohol Abuse; 35%, for Alcohol Dependence; 3%, for Cannabis Dependence; and 3% for Polysubstance Dependence. The findings are discussed in relationship to a counseling center's practice of clinical assessment of drug and alcohol use, as well as to the center's integration of the findings with outreach programming efforts conducted by practitioners.
