Abstract
4 undergraduate research assistants (UGRAs) reflect on their participation in a dissertation study, Substance Use, Misusing, Recovery Identity Formation Among College Students. Baseline concept maps and interviews between the primary investigator (PI) and UGRAs were transcribed and then coded. The UGRAs participated in a collaborative autoethnography (CAE) to reflect on their own experiences with substance misuse and recovery. Insights contribute towards understanding how community shapes students' understanding of complex concepts such as substance misuse and recovery. We aim to provide meaningful insight into how substance use and misuse can be internalized amongst college students and how the acquisition of a recovery identity can help redefine previous notions of substance use.
