Are these translations correct?

  1. "As per the survey conducted **on the students**..." 

> **[学生]{がくせい}たちに[対]{たい}する** [調査]{ちょうさ}によると……

(students are the topic of the research)

  2. "As per the survey conducted **among the students**..." 

> **[学生]{がくせい}たちにおける** [調査]{ちょうさ}によると……

(students are the target population for the research; the topic could be
anything)

What would be the recommended way to state the following?

  3. "As per the survey conducted on alcohol among the students..."

( _alcohol_ is the topic while _students_ is the target population)

grammar
Expressing subject vs target
1. On the students  
The researcher is NOT a student,(for example, the researcher is a teacher,
scientist and so on) isn't he?  
In this case, "学生たちに対する調査によると・・・" is natural Japanese translation, you already
said .  
In addition, "学生たちに対して行われた調査によると・・・","学生たちを対象にしたアンケートによると" are natural.

  2. Among the students  
The researcher may be that a student, that others.  
In this case, "学生内における調査によると" is natural Japanese.  
I think that an expression like "学生たちにおける調査によると・・・" is similar to
"学生たちに対する調査によると" in Japanese. It is because that "Aにおける" infers that the
speaker is not A.

  3. "As per the survey conducted on alcohol among the students"  
The topic is alcohol. The target is students.(The target is not drinking
students.)  
In this case, "アルコールに関する学生内における調査によると・・・" is natural translation.
