Alcohol and Substance Misuse
The negative implications of alcohol and substance misuse or abuse can impact an individual’s health and decision-making, relationships, academic performance and future goals. Contributing factors to alcohol and substance use include stress, a belief that all students are engaging in those behaviors and a lack of accurate information about alcohol and substances, as well as misinformation about the consequences of their use.
