Abstract

This paper summarizes the initial findings by investigators at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf concerning the alcohol and drug use habits of entering Deaf and hard of hearing students. The paper summarizes self-reported answers to a survey distributed to this group of college freshmen in1999. The results of this survey are compared with other national studies to provide a comparative assessment of alcohol and drug use by this student group. Recommendations for action based upon the results of this survey are proposed.
