Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to collect data on the positive and negative effects alcohol has on both peer and intimate college relationships. This study is significant because drinking is a major problem among college students, even under the legal age of 21. The consumption of alcohol can alter your normal every day functioning. It could not only change the way you interact with everyone around you but also the perception you have of other people. Interactions could be positive if the subject feels more comfortable in a social environment after consumption. This could lead to newly built friendships. Though, making new friendships can be good, feeling more comfortable while cognitively impaired could also lead to decisions, such as sexual activity, that could be negative. The study is aimed to find out if alcohol effects interpersonal college relationships. We predict that alcohol will effect relationships in a negative way.
Methods: Data will be collected from approximately 150 participants from Nursing, and Health Education and Promotion majors. Participants will complete an 18 question survey on alcohol consumption and how it effects relationships. The study is IRB approved. Participation is voluntary and results will be analyzed in aggregate manner using IRB SPSS.
Findings: Data collection is in progress and will be available for presentation at the conference
Conclusions: IRB abstract is accepted
