Social Capital in the College Setting: The Impact of Participation in Campus Activities on Drinking and Alcohol-Related Harms
Journal of American College Health Volume 58, Number 1 / July - August 2009 Pages:
15 - 25

The authors aimed to replicate previous findings on social capital and harmful alcohol outcomes in the college setting and to ascertain the protective effects of additional indicators of social capital.

Results did not corroborate previous findings and revealed mixed results for other measures of participation at the campus level. The influence of social capital on college alcohol consumption deserves further attention.
