College Alcohol Personality Survey
  • Combination of content taken from two documents
  • College Alcohol Risk Assessment Guide (Ryan,
    Cothurst, Segars, 1997)

    National Advisory Council on Alcohol Abuse and

College Alcohol Personality Survey
  • Method of detecting size and magnitude of the
    problem when combined with student self-report
    data
  • Expose contributing factors
  • Maximize resources by focusing efforts
    strategically
  • Uncover potential coalition partners

Prevention Activities
13
NIAAA Task Force Report Overview
  • The Task Force on College Drinking
  • 1999 NIAAA and NIH designated task force charged
    with developing a national agenda on college
    student drinking.
  • Two panels created the Panel on Contexts and
    Consequences and the Panel on Prevention and
    Treatment.
  • Panels comprised of faculty, staff, students,
    administrators, and other ATOD professionals.
  • Each panel asked to submit a report reviewing the
    scientific literature, identified gaps in
    knowledge, and recommended promising directions
    for future research.

14
NIAAA Task Force Report Overview
  • Tier 1 Evidence of effectiveness among
    college students
  • Tier 2 Evidence of success with general
    populations that could be applied to college
    environments
  • Tier 3 Evidence of logical and theoretical
    promise, but require more comprehensive
    evaluation.
  • Tier 4 Evidence of ineffectiveness

15
NIAAA Task Force Report Overview
  • Tier 1 Evidence of Effectiveness Among
    College Students
  • Combining cognitive-behavioral skills with norms
    clarification and motivational enhancement
    interventions
  • Offering brief motivational enhancement
    interventions
  • Challenging alcohol expectancies

16
NIAAA Task Force Report Overview
  • Tier 2 Evidence of Success with General
    Populations That Could 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 density of retail alcohol outlets

Discussion Questions
  • Using your inventory of current prevention
    efforts and NIAAA checklist, please discuss the
    following questions with your team
  • Do your current prevention efforts incorporate
    evidence-based strategies? Which ones?
  • Are staff time and resources currently being
    spent on activities that show little or no
    evidence of effectiveness according to the
    research literature? How much?
  • Are your current efforts aimed at creating
    environmental change?
