✦ Synopsis

The authors compared college adult children of alcoholics (ACOAs) and non‐ACOAs using the Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory‐3 (F. G. Miller, 1999). The results failed to support the hypothesis that ACOAs have higher rates of substance dependence, defensiveness, and codependency than do non‐ACOAs. Practical implications are offered for college counselors.
