Alcohol-related Injury Among Greek-Letter College Students: Defining A Target Population For Secondary Prevention
- Members of Greek-letter societies [i.e., fraternities] are the heaviest drinkers on college campuses, and experience more alcohol-related problems than their peers.
- This study reports the results of a web-based survey administered to stratified random samples of college students from 10 North Carolina universities.
- Greek-letter status was a significant independent risk factor for increased injury (both experienced and caused to others), even after adjusting for drinking behaviors.
