“…Third, students also shared personal experiences of using alcohol to cope with life and past experiences. In comparison, researchers also found that students who drank to cope were more likely to experience a higher negative impact (Baschnagel & Bell, 2023;Krieger et al, 2018), especially when struggling with depression (Kehayes et al, 2021;Park et al, 2021) or trauma (Boyraz et al, 2018). Specific to deaf and hard of hearing college students they were more likely to use avoidance or emotional coping, and this was associated with riskier alcohol use (Baschnagel & Bell, 2023).…”

“…This risk increases if college students feel disconnected from their parents and do not feel "listened to," but feeling supported by parents also serves to decrease early onset use (Ryding et al, 2022). In addition, college students who are deaf and hard of hearing were more likely to use avoidance or emotional coping, and this was shown to lead to more problematic alcohol use (Baschnagel & Bell, 2023).…”

“…Researchers found deaf and hard of hearing students reported higher consequences when they drank (Baschnagel & Bell, 2023;Mason & Schiller, 2009). Examples of consequences range from academic, physical, and socio-emotional (SIU, 2016b;SIU, 2019;SIU, 2022).…”

<i>Alcohol misuse on college campuses has been shown to be the cause of physical, socio-emotional, and academic harms. Alcohol is also an issue at Gallaudet University but there is a gap in the literature describing this phenomenon. Using the social ecological model, this qualitative case study explored student perceptions and experiences with alcohol use through interviews with 24 deaf and hard of hearing college students at Gallaudet University. The main themes included: something to do, isolation, coping, communication, “playing catch up with life,” belonging, peer pressure, and university dynamics. The results of this study supported the research on alcohol use in the college environment, showing these themes to also be true at Gallaudet University. As a result, researchers recommend for Gallaudet University and other institutions use the education and interventions shown to be effective in the College Alcohol Intervention Matrix with deaf and hard of hearing students. Researchers also identified themes that were divergent from general college students and specific to the experience of being deaf and hard of hearing. This study highlighted the interpersonal level impact and importance of communication with alcohol and related harms. Researchers recommend further research on the spectrum of communication isolation on alcohol use, related harms, and the social-ecological impact of these experiences. In addition, researchers recommend programming and services to specifically address the issues that occur as a result of isolation, coping challenges, desire to belong, susceptibility to peer pressure, and wanting to catch up on life. It is hoped that the insights gained from this study will be used to inform interventions for deaf and hard of hearing college students, to reduce alcohol misuse, and thus to impact positive change.</i>

There is extensive research showing an association between athletics and college alcohol use. However, there is a gap in the literature describing this phenomenon for deaf and hard of hearing students. Researchers explored the experiences and perspectives of Gallaudet University students and staff on deaf and hard of hearing students’ alcohol use by conducting a qualitative case study in American Sign Language. One theme that emerged from this data was athletics: the impact of being a student athlete, the structure of college life for student athletes, networking as an athlete, athletic events, and the role of alcohol use. Researchers found unique experiences for deaf and hard of hearing students, but also consistencies with the literature showing an increased association between athletics, athletic events, and alcohol use.
