“…For instance Ding et al (2009), García-Gómez et al (2013), Fletcher (2014), Sabia (2007), Balsa et al (2011) and Pieterse (Forthcoming) identify a negative relationship between poor general health, health shocks, ADHD, body weight, alcohol usage and maltreatment respectively on the one hand and academic performance on the other hand. In addition, Bharadwaj et al (2013) reveal a positive relationship between early health interventions and academic achievement.…”

Abstract. There is growing evidence that health factors affect tertiary education success in a causal way. This study assesses the effect of sleep quality on academic achievement at university. To this end, we surveyed 2 804 students about their sleep quality by means of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) before the start of their first exam period in December 2013 at Ghent University. PSQI scores were merged with course marks in this exam period. Instrumenting PSQI scores by sleep quality during secondary education, we find that increasing total sleep quality with one standard deviation leads to 4.85 percentage point higher course marks.Based on this finding, we suggest that higher education providers might be incentivised to invest part of their resources for social facilities in professional support for students with sleep and other health problems.

“…Others have found early alcohol use is weakly associated with lower school grades (Crosnoe et al, 2012)and future educational achievement (Latvala et al, 2014), particularly for males (Balsa et al, 2011).…”

Background:The relative contributions of cannabis and alcohol use to educational outcomes are unclear. We examined the extent to which adolescent cannabis or alcohol use predicts educational attainment in emerging adulthood.Methods: Participant-level data were integrated from three longitudinal studies from Australia and New Zealand (Australian Temperament Project, Christchurch Health and Development Study, and Victorian Adolescent Health Cohort Study). The number of participants varied by analysis (N=2179-3678) and were assessed on multiple occasions between ages 13-25. We described the association betweenfrequency of cannabis or alcohol use prior to age 17 andhigh school non-completion, university non-enrolment, and degree non-attainment by age 25. Two other measures of alcohol use in adolescence were also examined.Results:After covariate adjustment using a propensity score approach, adolescent cannabis use (weekly+) was Adolescent cannabis use is a better marker of lower educational attainmentthan adolescent alcohol use and identifies an important target population for preventive intervention.

“…The study further found that there was also a significant relationship between academic achievement and anti-social behaviour of female secondary Biology students. Balsa et al (2011)estimated fixed-effects models using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health and found that increases in alcohol consumption result in small yet statistically significant reductions in GPA for male students and in statistically non-significant changes for females. For females, however, higher levels of drinking result in self-reported academic difficulty.…”
