Entering freshmen, second-semester freshmen, and sophomores through seniors were surveyed regarding their recent alcohol and drug use. Among entering freshmen, 81% drank and 34% used drugs. Compared to groups that had been at college longer, entering freshmen were a significant 16% lower for alcohol and 12% lower for drugs than the other groups, but all other groups showed no significant differences regardless of year in school. When analyzed separately by sex, all results were identical to this overall pattern except that drug use among women did not appear to increase substantially from entering students to later years. These results indicate a relatively rapid influence of the college environment which then leads to stability of substance use behavior.
对大一新生、大二上学期学生以及大二到大四的学生进行了关于他们近期饮酒和吸毒情况的调查。在大一新生中，81%的人饮酒，34%的人吸毒。与在校时间更长的群体相比，大一新生的饮酒率显著低16%，吸毒率显著低12%，但其他所有群体无论在哪个年级，均未显示出显著差异。按性别分别分析时，所有结果与总体模式相同，只是女性吸毒率从入学到后期似乎没有大幅上升。这些结果表明大学环境有相对迅速的影响，进而导致物质使用行为的稳定。
