This
study investigated the use of alcohol and other drugs among 193
Taiwanese female college students currently attending Tainan
Women's College of Arts and Technology. Using the Core Alcohol
and Drug Survey, participants were asked to identify: (1) which
substances they have used in the last year and during the past
30 days, (2) the frequency of substance use, and (3) the
consequences associated with the use of alcohol and other
substances. Results indicated that alcohol and tobacco were the
most commonly used substances. Compared to a similar study,
alcohol use in the last year was considerably higher among the
participants in this study and tobacco use was considerably
lower. During the past 30 days, the use of both alcohol and
tobacco were relatively low. Implications for college counselors
and college officials are discussed.
