The place to start your research and find studies of this kind would be your local public or college library. Libraries subscribe to databases that include magazines, journals and other reference material. You can either go in person or visit the library Web site. To access the databases from outside the library you will need to have a library card and in some cases create a personal account to log in to the databases.
Here is an example of an article found in the ProQuest database at my library.
John C Licciardone. “Outcomes of a federally funded program for alcohol and other drug prevention in higher education. ” The American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse 29.4 (2003): 803. Health Module, ProQuest. Web. 4 Dec. 2009.
This paper presents the results of the Nationwide Campuses Study that measure the impact of programs supported by the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE) for collegiate alcohol and other drug (AOD) prevention efforts. Outcomes were measured by using standardized pre- and post-program items on the Core Alcohol and Drug Survey and adjusted prevalences of AOD use. Although student awareness of AOD prevention programs increased during the funding period, there also were increases in the desire for drugs at parties and in the frequencies of arrests for driving while intoxicated or under the influence and of poor academic performance. Adjusted prevalences of alcohol, marijuana, and cocaine use among students increased, while tobacco use decreased. Curriculum infusion, administrative response, and faculty and community activities most clearly were associated with favorable outcomes. Overall, however, FIPSE funding had limited short-term impact on AOD use and its consequences in higher education. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
Many libraries are now offering research assistance via some type of chat service. You can request this type of help from either an individual library Web site or sometimes through a statewide cooperative service.
