Community College Student ACOAs: Assessment and Implications

Kenneth M. Coll, Boise State University

Abstract

This study, an investigation of adult children of alcoholics (ACOAs) on two community college campuses, showed: a higher number of ACOAs at those community colleges than typically at 4-year colleges and universities; a significant number of high risk ACOAs-those who grew up in disruptive and conflictual homes-at those campuses; and a higher proportion of the ACOA students had problems associated with drinking than their non-ACOA student peers.
