Action by SGA • Student Government Association passed a resolution to support Responsible Action Legislation (similar action on the state level). • Many do not seek medical attention for an overdose to avoid legal consequences. • This legislation is intended to prioritize safety and lifesaving by reducing citations/fines. • Future will include advertisement and detail on medical emergencies to inspire a focus on safety. • Not intended as a “free pass” to abuse AOD.
Alcohol-Wise Findings • Fall and spring administration • 50% increase; understanding about alcohol and associated behavioral health issues (pre to post) • 20% increase; recognition of adverse relationship between alcohol use and academic success • 86% agreed that the content was appropriate and easy to understand; 65% of students agreed that the interactions were interesting and helpful; and, 61% of students agreed that the course would help them avoid future problems with alcohol.
Preliminary Survey Findings • UW system AODA survey administered in 2005, 2007, 2009, 2011. Self-administered in spring 2013. • Some encouraging findings: • Plan to analyze longitudinal data this summer
Online Program Options • Will repeat Alcohol-Wise for 2013-2014 • Universal prevention programs will be discussed by the management team in fall 2013 • Priorities for consideration include research-driven, sanctioning, timing, length, interesting interface, meeting sexual assault content expectations, special populations, inclusivity, references to other drugs, and cost. • There are numerous programs available; we’ll attempt to find our best fit.
Sanction Grid • Dual purpose: enhance consistency of responses to violations and encourage self-discipline among students • Proposal submitted for Vice-Chancellor’s consideration • Multiple review opportunities
Strategic Planning Process • Two major goals: • Education • Policy enforcement and sanctioning • Team of six to draft a plan this summer for consideration by the management team in August • Project will include work by HS 490 students working to address OMNA survey findings
