Description
From reviews of the original edition:
"This book provides a complete account of the scope of the college drinking problem and any researcher in the field will find it to be an important resource because of its comprehensive and compelling scholarship. Any parent or student who is interested and concerned about college drinking will find this book to be of great value. Dowdall's ability to straddle the needs of the academic, college administrator, public official, parent and student makes this book a must-have."--Contemporary Sociology
"From whatever vantage point the reader is coming, Dr. Dowdall offers recommendations for what can be done to address the problem of heavy drinking among college students.
This book [is] a great first step in bringing about change in the culture of college drinking."--Violence Against Women
"In comparison the other recent books on the topic, Dowdall's book is more broad-based, yet also more comprehensive, and utilizes a wider range of scientific and professional resources, and provides more evidence-based suggestions for change to a wider audience. If there is a book that can reach all intended audiences (college administrators, governmental policy makers, practitioners, scientists, parents, and students), Dowdall's book seems to do it. Readers of varied backgrounds should all come away with useful information and suggestions for changes."--
