Title
A multiple regression analysis of family factors affecting the potential for alcoholism in college students
Abstract
This study explored the effects of the family system on the potential for alcoholism in college students. Analysis of the data indicated that students' gender, race, and how often they consumed alcohol were unrelated to the potential for alcoholism. However, perceived conflict in the students' family of origin appeared to increase the potential for alcoholism. This finding is consistent with family systems theory, used by many human service professionals as a basis for assessing and treating chemical dependency.
