Eb. Ryland et al., SELECTED CHARACTERISTICS OF HIGH-RISK STUDENTS AND THEIR ENROLLMENT PERSISTENCE, Journal of college student development, 35(1), 1994, pp. 54-58

dents at high risk for dropout who were enrolled in personal and acade
mic development seminars. Student demographic and retention characteri
stics, rather than stress coping resources, appear to be most useful i
n predicting attrition.
