This version of the data comprises the same 119 schools in the ICPSR 4291 data. Six schools in the previous version were dropped, six schools not in the previous version were added, and six variables (SERIAL, DATEMO, DATEDAY, DATEYR, COMMENTS, and IPEDS) were added. ICPSR revised the documentation accordingly and added a SAS setup file to the collection. The SAS setup includes the PROC FORMAT statements from the previous version of the study. Wechsler, Henry.

As in the previous surveys, the 1999 survey focused on alcohol use and alcohol problems among undergraduate college students. The survey collected information on students' use of alcohol, tobacco, and illicit drugs, views on campus alcohol policies and student alcohol use, reasons for drinking alcohol and reasons for not drinking or limiting drinking, and personal difficulties caused by drinking problems (e.g., missed classes, trouble with police, and health problems). Additional topics covered by the survey include overall health status, daily activities, satisfaction with education being received, grade-point average, living arrangements, social life, sexual activity (heterosexual, homosexual, and bisexual), use of condoms during sexual intercourse, date rape, drunk driving, and attendance in meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous. Background variables include age, height, weight, sex, marital status, religion, mother's and father's education, mother's and father's drinking habits, race, and Hispanic origin. 1999 1999 United States Full-time undergraduate students enrolled in four-year colleges or universities in the United States. survey data A random sample of students was selected from 128 schools using probability proportionate to size sampling of colleges and universities. However, the data only include the 119 schools in the analytic sample of the 2001 round of the HARVARD SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH COLLEGE ALCOHOL STUDY (ICPSR 4291). Of the 120 schools surveyed for the 2001 round, 119 met the response rate cutoff for inclusion in that year's analytic sample. The last ICPSR version of this study (i.e., the first version of ICPSR 3818) only included the 119 schools of the 1999 analytic sample, which were slightly different from the 119 schools in the 2001 analytic sample. In 1999, 119 of the 128 schools surveyed met the response rate cutoff for inclusion in the 1999 analytic sample. mail questionnaire Generated by the SAS CPORT procedure, the SAS transport file comprises the data and a formats catalog with the value labels. ICPSR did not receive any code descriptions for variable COLL_ID (college ID number). Consequently, individual colleges cannot be identified by name with this variable. This survey is the third round of the HARVARD SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH COLLEGE ALCOHOL STUDY. The first round was conducted in 1993 (ICPSR 6577), the second in 1997 (ICPSR 3163), and a fourth round was conducted in 2001 (ICPSR 4291).
