Alcohol and Other Drug Use at OSU 2002:
Core Alcohol and Drug Survey Results
This study uses the Core Alcohol and Drug Survey (or the Core Survey) to report the alcohol and drug usage patterns among Ohio State undergraduates, the consequences of that use, and perceptions of the campus environment. The Core Survey developed by the Core Institute at the Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, is specifically designed for use with the university student population to assist institutions in obtaining a common “core” of information about alcohol and other drug use. Specifically, information is provided on the frequency and prevalence of alcohol and other drugs, consequences of alcohol use (and other drugs) including the relationship between GPA and alcohol use, and the perceptions and views of alcohol and its role on campus. The study also provides the opportunity to compare Ohio State to national averages and to look at changes over time using the 2000 and 2002 OSU data. By identifying usage patterns and high-risk subgroups, intervention strategies can attend to the most acute problem areas.
