Overview

Qualitative analysis reveals themes of ARC identities in college students, suggesting implications for alcohol-related interventions.

Key Points

  • Students displayed alcohol-related content (ARC) identities on social media, with possible links to drinking behaviors.
  • The thematic analysis identified key ARC identities: partier, humorist, and sophisticated among college students.
  • Interviews with 20 college students highlighted how ARC identities might influence their perception of drinking.
  • Understanding these identities may help identify at-risk students for targeted alcohol misuse interventions.
