    Author: MacDonald R, Fleming MF, Barry KL.
    Journal: Am J Drug Alcohol Abuse; 1991; 17(4):439-49. PubMed ID: 1746506.
    Abstract:
    A survey of 989 college students was conducted to investigate risk factors--gender, family history of alcohol abuse, family history of depression and mental illness, childhood hyperactivity, and antisocial personality-associated with alcohol abuse. Two hundred ninety-four subjects (29%) completing the alcohol subscale of the Diagnostic Interview Schedule met lifetime DSM-III criteria for alcohol abuse. Utilizing a loglinear model, expression of childhood and early adolescent deviant behavior, family history of depression, and gender were shown to be significantly associated with alcohol abuse among students.
