Social and Academic Factors Associated With Drug Use On the University of Vermont Campus

RUG abuse on campus has been widely publicized by the mass media. As a result, studies have been made on several college campuses seeking to determine the incidence and extent of illicit drug use. On many college campuses students are known to be involved with drugs. Evidence of this involvement results from incidence surveys or through midnight raids conducted by law enforcement officials. Other campuses are not identified with drug use. This is not to say that drugs are not available. Drugs are present on these campuses even if the incidence is low.
