How well are colleges and universities doing with addressing drug and alcohol issues? Where are areas of progress, and what areas show no change or major gaps? Where have efforts dwindled or been pulled back, and what other concerns exist? With the aim of helping develop healthier and safer campus environments, the College Alcohol Survey’s current and longitudinal data (1979-2021) provides foundations for helpful and timely campus attention. New 2021 topics highlight the impact of social media and the pandemic. Attention is provided to policies and procedures, education and training, organization and planning, support services, and data collection and evaluation. Resources for campus self-assessment, reflection, and planning are offered to ground and inspire meaningful action.

Learning Objectives:

  1. To understand data about college prevention efforts from both a current and long-term perspective.
  2. To gain grounding and inspiration helpful for preparing meaningful and appropriate campus strategies.
  3. To identify resources and strategies helpful for leading campus strategic planning and implementation efforts.
