Where can I find statistics on dropout rates for college students due to alcohol and other drug abuse?
Exact statistics about drop out rates are unknown because colleges and universities do not conduct systematic exit interviews. However, it is generally agreed that early termination or failure to graduate are largely direct and indirect consequences of high risk drinking and the use of other drugs. The following publications provide an estimate of dropout rates due to alcohol use: • The Higher Education Center fact sheet on college academic performance and AOD use • The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University (CASA’s) publication “Rethinking Rites of Passage: Substance Abuse on America’s Campuses.” The executive summary cites dropout rates and the paper itself gives an excellent description of the scope of the problem.
