Review and Enhance Your Prevention Strategies
Creating a healthy campus starts with having a clear picture of the current campus environment. Your Campus Self Study will help you assess specific alcohol issues, behavioral trends, successes and gaps in your current prevention efforts.
The tool includes two parts:
- Part 1 is a checklist of key information that every campus can collect to inform policy development and enforcement, education, prevention and intervention efforts.
- Part 2 is an inventory of existing prevention activities. Its purpose is to identify gaps and enhance collaboration across campus.
-
Align Strategies to Maximize Success
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) has been instrumental in compiling research evidence for college alcohol prevention, targeting both individual students and your campus environment.
Learn which strategies have research evidence supporting their effectiveness and choose the ones that are right for your campus.
-
The PFI Approach Works
The Personalized Feedback Index (PFI) is a confidential tool, accessible from any web-enabled device, that allows students to uncover and examine the impact and consequences of their alcohol-related behavior. It also offers practical strategies for reducing the negative consequences of high-risk alcohol use.
Studies show the PFI can have a significant effect on students’ alcohol use, reducing:
- The total number of drinks consumed per week.
- Frequency of alcohol use after one month.
- Frequency of drinking after one year.
Students who take the PFI are more likely to use protective strategies such as alternating alcoholic with non-alcoholic drinks or remaining abstinent after one year.
