| dc.description | Alcohol use has been reported to have serious health and social effects among University students. In order to ascertain this assertion, this study examined some of the common co morbidities that co-exist with alcohol use. The study was conducted among 126 undergraduate students at Mount Kenya University in Nairobi, Kenya. To select the sample, stratified purposeful sampling method was applied and respondents screened using a questionnaire, Beck Depression Inventory to screen for depression; Beck Anxiety Inventory for anxiety and an Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test for alcohol use. The Intra class correlation coefficient test (ICC) that measures the reliability for alcohol, depression and anxiety clusters found a high ICC (p=0.0001) which means that depression, anxiety and alcohol use are co-morbid.
