Alcohol-related trips to Harvard University Health Services (UHS) are up 27 percent through February of this academic year, in line with a new survey released Monday by the Harvard School of Public Health (SPH) reporting that college administrators nationwide are becoming increasingly concerned with student alcohol abuse.
David S. Rosenthal ’59, director of UHS, echoed Wechsler’s statements, saying that alcohol consumption has become an issue of increasing concern at Harvard as well.
Rosenthal said 103 students were admitted to UHS for alcohol-related illness between September and February of this school year, compared to 81 for the same period last year.
There were 17 undergraduate visits to UHS for alcohol related illness this February, compared to nine last year.
December and January statistics from this academic year, however, showed 16 fewer visits to UHS than the same time the previous year.
