2. Scope of the Challenge: Providing Evidence Based
Prevention Beyond the First Year
3. Challenge: Mitigate
The College Effect
○ Narrow window of opportunity for primary
prevention.
○ Evidence-based education and prevention efforts
can mitigate the College Effect.
○ Efforts must consider the needs of all students, not
just those with a prior history of heavy or
problematic drinking.
○ Efforts to reinforce the behaviors of the healthy
majority should not be overlooked.
Focus on First Year Students
4. AlcoholEdu
○ Developed in collaboration with
prevention experts and researchers
○ Interactive content guided by
recommendations from the National
Institute of Alcohol Abuse and
Alcoholism (NIAAA)
○ Informed by emerging research on
evidence-based practice (e.g., social
norms, bystander intervention)

Prevention Best Practice
○ Training incorporates evolving research/regs
○ Single dose programs lack sustained impact
○ Norms hinge on data, behavioral modeling
○ Ongoing data needed for directed training
○ Highly visible ongoing training demonstrates
institutional commitment, impacts climate

7. Beyond the First Year: Challenges to Best Practice
Opportunities to
reach first year
students:
○ Orientation
programs
○ Residence halls
○ First year
seminars
Opportunities diminish as students progress through their college
experience and beyond:
○ Strong reliance on in-classroom opportunities and social marketing
campaigns (limited reach)
○ Ease of approaches that lack an evidence base (e.g., speakers, tabling)
○ Heavy on indicated approaches (e.g., BASICS, eChug), taking place as
a result of a policy violation

Having a compliant program
requires that IHEs:

their drug and alcohol prevention
programs
[2] annually distribute specified
drug and alcohol prevention

employees (“annual notification”)
Standards of conduct; federal, state and
local laws; available drug and alcohol
programs; and a description of the health
risks associated with alcohol abuse and
illicit drug use, including:
• risk of dependence,
• possible short-term effects,
• possible long-term effects, and
• likelihood and effects of overdose.

14. Certification Requirements
“Part 86, the Drug-Free Schools and Campuses Regulations, requires
that, as a condition of receiving funds or any other form of financial
assistance under any federal program, an institution of higher
education (IHE) must certify that is has adopted and implemented
a program to prevent the unlawful possession, use, or distribution
of illicit drugs and alcohol by students and employees.”

after the fiscal year in which the record was created:
○ The annually distributed notification document
○ Prevention program certification
○ Results of the biennial review
○ Any other records reasonable related to the IHE’s compliance with
