CONCLUSION
Alcohol, Tobacco and Drunk Driving have Declined, while Marijuana use has increased, easily available and drug of choice for college students.
Unclear if Colleges have played a role in these changes.
Students continue to have poor awareness of campus programs.
Underage drinking continues to be prevalent as well as easy access.Restaurants are notorious offenders of serving alcohol to underage drinkers…..and Students recognize it as an easy target.Must recognize that mental health plays a part in alcohol and drug abuse.
