EVERFI's diagnostic inventories provide comprehensive assessments of institutions' prevention efforts related to sexual assault and alcohol abuse. The inventories capture over 200 data points across four key areas: institutionalization, critical processes, policy, and programming. Insights from inventory data show relationships between advanced prevention status and higher funding, staffing levels, strategic planning, and senior leadership support. Completing the inventories helps institutions understand their prevention efforts, identify areas for growth, and integrate results into strategic planning to strengthen comprehensive prevention.

6. CRITICAL PROCESSES
POLICY
PROGRAMMING
A Framework for Prevention
The degree of system-wide buy-in, visible commitment, and
meaningful investment in effective prevention initiatives
The strategic, collaborative, and research informed translation of
resources (staff/budget) into effective polices and programs
The values and expectations of the institution and its community,
and the system of accountability to uphold and enforce them
The intentional development, multi-modal design, and targeted delivery of
prevention programs and messages that will maximize impact

INSIGHTS ARE BASED ON
THE
FOLLOWING DOMAINS:
• Total FTE: prevention staff
• Total budget for prevention
• Outward commitment from senior leaders
• Inclusion in institutional strategic plan
and mission/vision statement
• Task force or working group
- Members
- Frequency
- Involvement of senior leaders

Campuses that excel
in Institutionalization
provide on average
nearly two and a half
times greater funding

Over half of colleges

Small institutions

more per student on

16. Components of Critical Processes
CRITICAL PROCESSES
INSIGHTS ARE BASED ON
THE
FOLLOWING DOMAINS:
• Programming mandates and participation tracking
• Role of students in designing and implementing
programs
• Key skills and qualifications for prevention staff
• Professional development for key stakeholders
• Utilization of key data sources for program
design/delivery
• Evaluation of prevention efforts
• Goal-setting and strategic planning

Diagnostic
Inventory Guiding
Questions
What are the primary components of your alcohol prevention programming?
Is your institution performing a lot of activities with limited reach, or is it
employing directed efforts that cover universal, selective, and indicated
programming?
Does your institution require that parties, functions and events across for all
community members be registered with the institution?
Does your institution possess statistics on the percentage of your students
who do not drink? Do you have sustainable efforts focused on supporting
these students?
Do you have specific, quantifiable goals for your alcohol prevention efforts?
Has your institution identified key indicators of student health? Does your
institution regularly measure and report these key indicators with those who
can influence change?
Do individuals or departments outside of Student Affairs play a role in
achieving your institution’s prevention objectives?
Is your institution compliant with the regulations outlined in EDGAR Part 86?
Does your institution have a comprehensive program to support students who
