College students and alcohol use: A test of social learning, strain, and acculturation theories. World Medical and Health Policy, 6(3), pp. 262-279.https://hdl.handle.net/10877/9098This article uses an original data set to explore the utility of three classic sociological theories to test patterns of college student alcohol consumption: social learning, strain, and acculturation. The survey data indicate that the first two theories are supported. Acculturation, however, does not appear to explain variations in drinking habits of Latino students in our sample.Text18 pages1 file (.pdf)encollege studentsalcohol consumptionsocial learning theorySociologyArticlehttps://doi.org/10.1002/wmh3.101
