Ans: D
Feedback:
A major risk factor for problem drinking in young adults is enrollment in college. The significant difference (p < .05) in binge and heavy drinking between college students (39.1) and their peers (35.4) not enrolled in college has remained unchanged over the past decade and suggests campus cultural norms are a strong factor contributing to significantly higher health risks. Rates of binge alcohol use vary by race and ethnicity and are highest among American Indians or Alaska Natives (24.3). Female gender and history of type 1 diabetes are not significant risk factors for alcohol abuse.
Answer to Question 2
Ans: B
Feedback:
Withdrawal is reduction in prolonged substance use that results in problematic behavioral, physiological, and cognitive changes. Tolerance is the diminished physical and/or psychological response to effects of alcohol or illicit substances. A person develops tolerance when he or she needs to use higher doses of alcohol or illicit substances to achieve the desired euphoric effect. Feeling like one cannot function without a substance is a sign of substance dependence. Praising the medication and requesting another refill could be a sign of substance dependence.
