Is there a link between SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND LIFESTYLE CHOICES?
Our current study is focusing on the link between illicit substance usage (ADHD medication, Marijuana, nicotine, and alcohol) with certain lifestyle behaviors (dietary and sleep patterns)

Research Goals
Goals of our study are to:
Expand our knowledge by reviewing scientific literature in our field
Use the results and findings from our previous studies to inform the direction of our future research
Disseminate our findings to the public
Provide healthy alternatives to substance use for college students
Hypotheses:
We hypothesize that
Students who incorporate healthy lifestyle choices (8 hours of sleep, eating breakfast, incorporation of vegetables into their diet) will be more likely to have a higher GPA and less likely to abuse substances
Individuals who have a healthy balanced diet and exercise regularly are more likely to have higher quality sleep
Individuals who abuse ADHD medication, alcohol, and/or marijuana are more likely to be unsatisfied with their current quality of sleep
