In an effort to gain insight into undergraduate alcohol consumption patterns. University Health Services (UHS) is polling 500 randomly selected members of the senior and freshman classes about their drinking attitudes and habits.
Dr. Sholem Postel, deputy director of UHS, said he was not aware of any special reason why the test is being administered. "We at UHS haven't experienced any higher incidence of alcohol abuse, at least not to my knowledge."
Kathleen M. Kniepmann, health educator at UHS, said the questionnaire is for informational purposes only.
Kniepmann said that the results of the survey, which will be tabulated later this month will help UHS officials determine what programs are necessary for educating the Harvard community about alcohol use and knowledge.
UHS, which has already immunized hundreds of students and faculty, has gotten more aggressive, posting leaflets across the entire campus to alert Harvard affiliates to get immunized, said Sholem Postel, UHS director of professional service.
