Assessing Effective Alcohol and Other Drug Interventions with the College-Age Population: A Longitudinal Review

, &
Pages 422-443 | Published online: 13 Oct 2015
 

Abstract

High-risk alcohol consumption among college students, and the negative behaviors and consequences that often result, continues to plaque colleges and universities across the country. Likewise, university personnel struggle finding the most effective means of curbing this dangerous behavior. High-risk alcohol prevention, intervention, and recovery initiatives vary from institution to institution due to a variety of factors including limited personnel and financial resources. This article examined data from one university's programmatic efforts and revealed that the intervention strategies mirror many of the national collegiate initiatives embracing intervention and recovery and is a solid model for colleges and universities to emulate when addressing student substance use. Grounded in a harm-reduction approach, implications and recommendations for establishing a sustained campus-wide commitment to high-risk alcohol reduction are offered.
