Taken together, the mass of scientific literature regarding
college student drinking makes the problem appear
almost intractable unless new prevention and intervention
strategies are developed and embraced by college
administrators, parents, and health care professionals. To
this end, researchers have attempted to identify risk factors
which then could become targets of interventions.
Several cross-sectional studies have identified sociodemographic
and other individual-level characteristics that are
associated with increased risk for excessive alcohol consumption
among college students. For instance, males are
heavier drinkers than females [18], White students have
higher rates of drinking than minority groups, and members
of sororities and fraternities drink significantly more
than non-members [19,20]. Consistent with other findings
showing a protective effect of religiosity on alcohol
consumption among high school students [21], Patock-
Peckham et al. [22] found that intrinsic religiosity was
associated with a lower risk for college students' drinking.
