A Correlational Study on Alcohol Use, Smoking Consequences, and Demographic Factors among Students

The purpose of this study was to determine how beliefs about the effects of smoking are related to alcohol use among students on a university campus. An online survey with a sample of 100 students between the ages of 18 and 28 years old completed the CAGE questionnaire (for alcohol use) and Smoking Consequences Questionnaire (SCQ) as well as a demographic data sheet. Participants’ mean age was 22.04 years old and the participants were relatively evenly gendered, with a range of socioeconomic backgrounds.
