Reports released by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism’s (NIAAA) Task Force on College DrinkingCollege drinking is still a high priority to the NIAAAStatistics used to research college drinking problems and their consequencesProviding college programming to assist in the efforts of the NIAAA’s Task Force
College Drinking and Its Consequences: New DataIt is a problem on campuses that still existSince 1988, 18-24 yr olds who drink have increased rates of:Driving While Intoxicated (DWI)—especially students, from 2.3 million to 2.8 millionBinge Drinking—a pattern of drinking alcohol that brings blood alcohol concentration (BAC) to 0.08% or above
The number of alcohol-related deaths have increased696,000 assaulted by another student who has been drinking97,000 victims of alcohol-related sexual assault or date rapeDrinking at a young age will create problems during the college yearsThose prior to age 19 are most likely to be:Alcohol dependentFrequent heavy drinkers
Interventions—What is this New Research Telling Us?April 2002, findings summarized in report: A Call to Action: Changing the Culture of Drinking at US CollegesContinue to use a 3-in-1 Approach of Interventions through strategies:Tier 1—most effective strategies to prevent and reduce college drinkingTier 2—strategies that have been successful with the general population & could be applied to college environmentsTier 3—strategies showing logical & theoretical promise, but require comprehensive evaluationTier 4—focus on the need to evaluate approachesIndividual ApproachesSignificant research support“Mandated” students—those identified with having a problem with alcohol who have been mandated to receive intervention and/or treatmentParticipants: volunteered students
New Data on Mandated Students in Reducing Alcohol-Related ProblemsThose students who received a brief motivational interview reported fewer alcohol-related problemsParticipation Rates Remain LowStudents who need interventions are most least likely to participate—but they are mostly the one’s who pose problems on campusA way to increase participation in screening within university health centers through new technologyThrough these ways, comparative norms will demonstrate a change in drinking practices
Campus-Community PartnershipsNew Evidence for College-Specific-AudiencesCampus and community work together in drinking preventionSocial Norms: Still Promising, but Results are Mixed and Questions RemainThe effectiveness of social norms results in the inconsistency in the research methodology
