Little is known about the extent of student awareness about collegiate recovery communities (CRCs) and of peers in recovery. A convenience sample of 237 undergraduate students from a diverse major at a private university participated in an anonymous online survey in Fall 2019. Participants reported whether they knew about the local CRC, whether they knew a peer in recovery, sociodemographic characteristics, and other information. Multivariable modified Poisson regression models were fitted to estimate correlates of awareness of the CRC and of peers in recovery. Overall, 34% were aware of the CRC and 39% knew a peer in recovery. The latter was associated with being a member of Greek life, a junior or senior, using substances regularly, and personally being in recovery. Future research should explore ways to increase awareness of CRCs and assess the role of connections between students in recovery and peers across campus.
关于学生对大学康复社区(CRCs)以及康复中的同龄人的了解程度,我们所知甚少。2019年秋季,一所私立大学的237名来自不同专业的本科生组成的便利样本参与了一项匿名在线调查。参与者报告了他们是否了解当地的CRCs、是否认识康复中的同龄人、社会人口统计学特征以及其他信息。采用多变量修正泊松回归模型来估计对CRCs和康复中同龄人的认知的相关因素。总体而言,34%的人了解CRCs,39%的人认识康复中的同龄人。后者与加入兄弟会或姐妹会、大三或大四学生、经常使用药物以及个人处于康复状态有关。未来的研究应探索提高对CRCs认识的方法,并评估康复学生与校园内同龄人之间联系的作用。
