Abstract

Substance use disorders represent a significant public health concern and are associated with substantial morbidity, mortality, and social costs and consequences that extend beyond individual health to effects that impact families, communities, and social systems. This study addresses critical gaps in the literature by advancing a developmentally informed, recovery-oriented understanding of substance use among emerging adults in higher education. Through three integrated manuscripts, a quantitative assessment of a recovery capital measure BARC-10, a psychometric evaluation of recovery identity, and a qualitative synthesis of collegiate recovery experiences this research provides empirically grounded insights into how recovery is measured, experienced, and supported, with implications for improving programs, policies, and student well-being.
