While the results of last month's alcoholism survey by the University Health Services (UHS) are yet to be tabulated, officials there said they were encouraged by the high response rate to the poll and expressed optimism that it will provide them with valuable information about student alcohol consumption patterns...
She added that UHS will attempt to survey the current freshman respondents again when they are seniors "to see whether talks and literature between now and then have helped."
Kniepmann reported that 140 of the 500 surveys have been filled out and returned to UHS so far. She added that while she is hoping for a 75-80 percent response rate, she said she found the current level of response "very encouraging."
But Staff, who already filled out and returned her questionnaire to UHS, said she doubted whether the survey would be of much benefit. "If someone has a drinking problem statistics aren't going to matter much to them," she said.
Epps said that the UHS survey marks the first time a study of alcohol patterns of Harvard students has been done since 1981, when a Boston-based health-research firm surveyed student on 16 New England campuses, including Harvard.
