| Sumario: | Alcohol use research among U.S. college students is common, spanning epidemiology to interventions for alcohol use disorder (AUD). The objective of this study was to examine undergraduates' attitudes toward alcohol research participation, including perceived risks and benefits. A national sample of undergraduates (n = 1,211) was surveyed and classified as low-risk (< 8) or high-risk (≥8) for an AUD using the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test. Comparisons showed a higher proportion of high-risk students reported privacy, distress, and social concerns, while more low-risk students emphasized benefits like improved campus safety and programming. Both groups acknowledged personal benefits. Implications for participant-centered protocols are discussed.
