Journal of Studies on Alcohol. Supplement, suppl 14 p54-70 Mar 2002
This article offers a developmental perspective on college drinking by focusing on broad developmental themes during adolescence and the transition to young adulthood. Links between developmental transitions and alcohol use and other health risks are discussed in light of five conceptual models: Overload; Developmental Mismatch; Increased Heterogeneity; Transition Catalyst; and Heightened Vulnerability to Chance Events.
