This document is an up to date accounting of college substance abuse prevention. Strategies implemented at the UA are highlighted in bold type at the bottom of each section. Facts about College Drinking From A Call to Action The majority of college students drink moderately or abstain. However 31% meet criteria for alcohol abuse and 6% alcohol dependence. Three Recommended Targets for Prevention Programs to Address the Culture of Drinking Individuals including at-risk or alcohol dependent drinkers Student body as a whole College and the surrounding community Recommended Strategies Tier One: Effective among individual problem, at-risk, or alcohol dependent college drinkers Combining cognitive-behavioral skill with norms clarification and motivational enhancement interventions Offering brief motivational enhancement interventions Challenging alcohol expectancies UA Specific Information Moderation skills training is currently being tested among fraternity men at UA (400 pledges will be trained over the next two years) Campus Health diversion classes are also based on these strategies Tier Two: Effective with general populations that could be applied to college environments Increased enforcement of minimum drinking age laws Implementation, increased publicity, and enforcement of other laws to reduce alcohol-impaired driving Restrictions on alcohol retail outlet density Increased prices and excise taxes on alcoholic beverages Responsible beverage service policies in social and commercial settings The formation of a campus and community coalition involving all major stakeholders may be critical to implement these strategies effectively UA Specific Information UA Campus and Community Coalition was established several years ago and has been working on enforcement of Red Tagging to reduce incidence of neighborhood parties that serve underage students and create a nuisance. Tier 3: Promising, but require more comprehensive evaluation Adopting campus-based policies and practices that appear to be capable of reducing high-risk use Increasing enforcement at campus-based events that promote excessive drinking (for example, increased DUI deployments at campus celebration events, Fraternity Rush, home and bowl football games) Increasing publicity about and enforcement of underage drinking laws on campus and eliminating mixed messages Consistently enforcing disciplinary actions associated with policy violations Conducting social norms campaigns to correct student misperception of alcohol use Provision of safe rides program Regulation of happy hours and sales Informing new students and their parents about alcohol policies and penalties before arrival and during orientation periods UA Specific Information UA has limited access to alcohol at all home football games no pass out policy Zero tolerance policy for alcohol and drug infractions in all residence halls (no parties involving alcohol and no alcohol allowed in any room that houses an underage student and no alcohol/drug paraphernalia. No brand name alcohol advertising is allowed on campus (or in any stadium) A Bar Owners/Managers sub committee of the Campus and Community Coalition has been organized to address promotions, responsible service, and issues of alcohol density No pubs on campus or in the Student Union to help eliminate a mixed message UA participates in the Southern Arizona DUI Task Force and has helped create a new brochure to promote the new body is a container underage drinking law, support local safe ride programs, and primary seatbelt legislation. Parents receive information about alcohol norms, policy, and laws. Parental notification for students found guilty of an alcohol or drug related violation. Publication in the campus paper of campus alcohol policies and state laws Using a social norms and environmental management strategy -in effect since 1995 - the incidence, and prevalence of high risk drinking and some negative consequences and alcohol related incidences have been reduced in the undergraduate population. Data collected in a Center for Substance Abuse Prevention study conducted between 1995 and 1998/1999 shows: A 29% reduction in heavy drink Driving after consuming alcohol dropped from 24% to 12% Didnt drink so they could serve as a designated driver increase from 38% to 43% Gotten into an alcohol related fight or argument dropped from 32% to 20% Trouble with campus police or school authorities dropped from 18% to 6% A successful sorority specific social norms media campaign has been in place for four years with significant changes in less than three years in heavy and high risk drinking, average drinks and average BAC. Also: Drove under the influence dropped from 22% to 16% Rode with others who drank dropped from 54% to 48% The Presidents of ASU, NAU and UA have all signed off on a State-Wide Initiative to reduce college alcohol abuse. Tier 4: Ineffective Informational, knowledge-based, or values clarification interventions about alcohol and the problems related to its excessive use, when used alone (these would include programs such as fatal vision goggles, impaired driver simulators and traditional presentations on the risks and potential consequences of drinking and driving) UA Specific Information UA no longer conducts prevention activities for college students that do not have strong evidence or promise of effectiveness with this particular population. These include: fatal vision goggles, drunk driving simulators, awareness activities including crashed cars and drunk driving stop presentations, one time presentations of any kind including presentations by prominent individuals in recovery. % Z" n G }~CE#l5\%?%!BZ# %  H V n  & F & F & F & Fn G H I i~v%E} & F & F & F & F _`6h#lm & F  & F 8^8 & F & F 1h/ =!"#$% i8@8 NormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH R@R Heading 1$<@&5CJ KH OJQJ\^JaJ :@: Heading 2$h@&^h5\2@2 Heading 3$@&5\<A@< Default Paragraph Font,B@, Body Text5\&%?%!BZ#%HVnGHI  i  ~  v%E}_`6h#lm @0@0@0@0&@0@ 0U@ 0U@ 0U@0@0%@ 0%@ 0%@ 0%@0%A 08YA 08Y@0Y@0Y@ 0Y@ 0Y@ 0Y@ 0Y@ 0Y@ 0Y(@0Y@ 0m @0m @0m @0%@ 0` @ 0` @ 0` @ 0` @ 0` @ 0` @ 0` @ 0` @0%@ 0 @ 0 A 0 @ 0 @ 0 A 0 A 0 A 0 A 0 A 0B 0 B 0 B 0 B 0 B 0 @0 A 0B 0x B 0x @0 A 0 @0 @0%@ 0@0@0%A 0@0@0'@0n Koreen JohannessenzC:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\AutoRecovery save of Fact Sheet for College Alcohol Abuse PreventionRevised.asdKoreen JohannessenzC:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\AutoRecovery save of Fact Sheet for College Alcohol Abuse PreventionRevised.asdKoreen JohannessenzC:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\AutoRecovery save of Fact Sheet for College Alcohol Abuse PreventionRevised.asdKoreen JohannessenzC:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\AutoRecovery save of Fact Sheet for College Alcohol Abuse PreventionRevised.asdKoreen JohannessenzC:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\AutoRecovery save of Fact Sheet for College Alcohol Abuse PreventionRevised.asdKoreen JohannessenJC:\My Documents\Fact Sheet for College Alcohol Abuse PreventionRevised.docKoreen JohannessenzC:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\AutoRecovery save of Fact Sheet for College Alcohol Abuse PreventionRevised.asdKoreen JohannessenOC:\My Documents\Fact Sheet for College Alcohol Abuse Prevention forWebpages.docKoreen JohannessenC:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\AutoRecovery save of Fact Sheet for College Alcohol Abuse Prevention forWebpages.asdKoreen JohannessenOC:\My Documents\Fact Sheet for College Alcohol Abuse Prevention forWebpages.doc 2̂^0@ЋxHjvޠ?@CRoot Entry FlE1Table9WordDocument"&SummaryInformation(1DocumentSummaryInformation89CompObjjObjectPoolll  FMicrosoft Word Document MSWordDocWord.Document.89q
