I decided to do my report on the Prevention of Heavy Drinking and Associated Negative Consequences Among Mandated and Voluntary College Students by Kim Fromme and William Corbin.

He felt that college drinking in Texas was getting out of control. He looked at the amount of drinking at schools with mandated drinking programs versus schools with voluntary drinking program and predicted that schools with the mandated drinking programs have less students to have drinking problems than the schools who have voluntary drinking programs. There were 452 participants in the study, all of them being college students. The study was an observational study conducted at the University of Austin Texas.
