Heavy Episodic Drinking (HED)

Heavy alcohol use is a serious health risk for many college students. While college drinking habits have been well researched in mainstream culture, the ability to generalize many findings to ethnic minority populations is hindered, and it is uncertain how cultural variables impact alcohol use in college populations. This study seeked to evaluate the relationships between gender, bicultural identity, familism, and adherence to traditional gender roles with Heavy Episodic Drinking (HED) in a Hispanic college sample.
