Journal of Studies on Alcohol
The National Advisory Council on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, National Institutes of Health, established two panels of nongovernment experts to research alcohol consumption among college students. The two panels are Contexts and Consequences (panel 1) and Prevention and Treatment (panel 2). An article in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol entitled "College Drinking, What It Is, and What To Do about It: A Review of the State of the Science" consists of commissioned papers by the two panels.
Updated Research on Environmental and Individually-Oriented Interventions
In 2007, in order to continue to provide state-of-the-art research information, NIAAA developed a new publication, “What Colleges Need to Know Now: An Update on College Drinking Research.” This research update revisited some of the key research areas of the College Task Force and analyzed new and emerging areas of inquiry. In creating this update, NIAAA again worked with Drs. Traci Toomey and Mary Larimer, authors of the two original intervention papers used in the 2002 task force report.
