“…Further, we found that 361/8,082 (4%) of women matriculants and 1,250/18,655 (7%) of women applicants used the First-CC pathway, yet women represent almost 60% of the entire U.S. CC student population. 11 Finally, the financial costs of pursuing a medical education may be prohibitive for most CC students. Financial aid programs, scholarships, and well-funded pre-medical counseling programs to support students earlier in their educational pathways at the CC level are needed.…”

“…13 CC enrollment in 2010 was as follows: 57% women, 52% White, 17% Latino, 15% Black, 5% Asian, and 11% other race or not reported. 11 These data indicate that CC students potentially represent the type of student being targeted by national efforts to encourage URM students to pursue careers in medicine. However, achieving diversity in our future physician workforce is challenged by rising tuition costs that have outpaced family income growth.…”

Purpose To examine the association between participation in a community college (CC) pathway, medical school admission, and intentions to practice in underserved communities or work with minority populations. Method The authors performed cross-sectional analyses of the 2012 Association of American Medical Colleges matriculant and applicant files, and the Matriculating School Questionnaire to assess associations between student characteristics and participation in a CC pathway. They used logistic regression to estimate the association between CC pathway and acceptance to medical school, intention to practice in underserved areas, or work with minority populations. Results There were 40,491 applicants and 17,518 matriculants to U.S. MD-granting schools; about one-third used a CC. A higher proportion of underrepresented minority (URM) matriculants used the CC pathways compared to Whites. Applicants who attended a CC after high school and before a 4-year university (First-CC) had lower odds of acceptance into medical school (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 0.68, 95% CI 0.61 to 0.75, P < .05). Compared to medical students who never attended a CC, First-CC matriculants were more likely to have parents without a college education (304/895 [34%] versus 1,683/12,598 [13%], P < .001) and higher odds of intentions to practice in underserved communities (AOR = 1.26, 95% CI 1.04 to 1.53, P < .05), after adjusting for covariates. Conclusions There is a high representation of URM students and higher prevalence of intention to work with underserved communities among CC-pathway participants. These findings may be of interest to those seeking to enhance diversity in the physician workforce.

“…The final sample of 119 colleges closely resembled the U.S. distribution of students enrolled full-time at 4-year colleges and universities (Knapp et al, 2004). Sixty-nine percent of students in the present study attended public institutions and 31% attended private institutions.…”

This study examined the prevalence and correlates associated with the nonmedical use of prescription benzodiazepine anxiolytics among U.S. college students. This study analyzed data from a nationally representative sample of 10,904 randomly selected students attending 119, 4-year U.S. colleges in 2001. The lifetime prevalence of nonmedical prescription benzodiazepine anxiolytic use was 7.8%, past year prevalence was 4.5% and past month was 1.6%. Past year rates of nonmedical use of prescription anxiolytics ranged from zero percent at the lowest use schools to 20% at the highest use school. Multivariate regression analyses indicated nonmedical use was more likely to occur among college students who were White, had both male and female sex partners and reported higher rates of substance use and other risky behaviors. In addition, nonmedical use of prescription benzodiazepine anxiolytics was less likely to occur among college students who attended college in the North Central region of the U.S. or historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs). This study provides evidence that the nonmedical use of prescription benzodiazepine anxiolytics represents a problem on some college campuses and among certain subgroups of U.S. college students. These findings have important implications for developing prevention efforts aimed at reducing the nonmedical use of prescription benzodiazepine anxiolytics among college students while not hindering the effective clinical treatment for various anxiety disorders.

“…Among first-time, full-time, degree-seeking undergraduates entering four-year institutions in 1998, graduation rates were highest for Asian students (65 percent) followed by whites (58 percent). Black and Hispanic students in this cohort graduated at much lower rates-40 and 46 percent, respectively (Knapp, Kelly-Reid, and Whitmore 2006). By 2004, only 12 percent of Hispanics and 18 percent of blacks over the age of 25 had obtained a bachelor's degree (U.S. Census Bureau 2006).…”

The use of preferences for racial or ethnic groups has spurred a lively debate about the merits of such policies. As underscored by this volume, however, most of the discussion about these issues has neglected a key point: students' decisions play an important role in determining the outcomes we observe in higher education. In other words, affirmative action, or lack thereof, will not alone determine whether our colleges and universities are racially and ethnically diverse. Students' decisions about where to apply to college and, if admitted, whether to attend result in the educational patterns one observes; and while an existing policy may influence students' behavior and institutions' admissions decisions, ultimately student actions drive the observed result.Beyond institutional admissions criteria and related policies, many factors influence students' application and attendance decisions. Among the determinants of college-decision making, researchers have considered the role of academic preparation, finances, expectations, and information along with how parents, schools, and neighborhoods influence these key factors. Relatively little research has applied these types of analyses to the context of affirmative action policy. One reason has been a lack of data. The studies in this volume make use of a rich dataset that includes administrative records
