  1. NOTE A note to users: This PowerPoint set on underage drinking prevention by campus communities is a free, customizable resource for organizations hosting an event as part of the 2014 Town Hall Meetings initiative of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). The slides may be used in a presentation on college student drinking or as a background slide show while people are taking their seats. You do not have to use the slides as presented, but may select slides, as needed, to guide the discussion toward effective solutions of local problems. We encourage you to increase the impact of the slides by adding local statistics on underage drinking and photos.

  22. What Can We Do? Look to theevidence base
  23. Risk factors Recognize and address campus risk factors for underage and excessive drinking: Task Force of the National Advisory Council on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. (2002). High-risk drinking in college: What we know and what we need to learn. From http://www.collegedrinkingprevention.gov/NIAAACollegeMaterials/Panel01/Panel01_TOC.aspx (accessed March 4, 2014). Inadequate substance abuse prevention, intervention, and treatment on/off campus Student stress/depression related to academic pressures “Party school” culture Strong Greek presence on campus Importance of athletics on campus Easy access to alcohol on/off campus Residential 4-year college High density of local alcohol outlets Small campus size
  24. What Can We Do? Work with thecampus community to enact and enforce environmental prevention
  25. Environmental prevention Environmental prevention is changing the environment to make alcohol less accessible and appealing to people under age 21.
  26. Environmental prevention Environmental prevention targets four key areas that influence alcohol problems: Access and availability; Policy and enforcement; Community norms; and Media messages.
  27. Environmental protection Responsible beverage service training: Eliminates lax enforcement of minimum legal drinking age laws by on- and off-premises alcohol retailers; and Trains servers to increase familiarity with state and local restrictions on: Alcohol service; Failure to recognize false identification; and Continued service to intoxicated patrons.
  28. Environmental prevention Alcohol compliance checks: Deter alcohol outlets from selling alcohol to underage young people; and Involve law enforcement officials, who supervise undercover youth attempting to purchase alcohol: Penalties are imposed on the alcohol outlet if the attempt is successful.
  29. Environmental prevention Restrictions on low-price, high-volume (“happy hour”) drink specials that: Reduce excessive drinking and consequences by limiting, for example: Drink promotions, such as reduced pricing during specific days or times; Free beverages or unlimited beverages at a set price and time; Increased drink volume; and Drinks offered as prizes.
  30. Environmental prevention Controls on alcohol outlet location and density: Apply regulatory authority, implemented through licensing or zoning processes, to reduce or limit the number of alcohol outlets in a given area.
  31. ENVIRONMENTAL PREVENTION Sobriety checkpoints: “… traffic stops where law enforcement officers systematically select drivers to assess their level of alcohol impairment. The goal of these interventions is to deter alcohol-impaired driving by increasing drivers’ perceived risk of arrest.” Checkpoints, when combined with a vigorous awareness campaign, tend to decrease alcohol-related traffic crashes and fatalities among youth. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. (N.D.). Research update: Sobriety checkpoints are effective in reducing alcohol-related crashes. From http://www.cdc.gov/MotorVehicleSafety/Impaired_Driving/checkpoint.html(accessed March 4, 2014). National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. (April 2006). Low-staffing sobriety checkpoints. From http://www.nhtsa.gov/people/injury/enforce/LowStaffing_Checkpoints (accessed March 4, 2014).
  32. Environmental prevention Social host liability laws: Noncommercial servers of alcohol (homeowners or parents) are held liable in the event that they provide alcohol to a minor or an obviously inebriated individual whose alcohol use later contributes to injury or death to a third party.
  33. Environmental prevention Restricted sales of alcohol at public events: Implementation of policies, voluntary or mandated by local legislation, which control the availability and use of alcohol at concerts, street fairs, sporting games, tailgate parties, and other public venues.
  34. Environmental prevention Increased taxes on sales of alcohol: Price affects how much people will consume, thereby reducing the number of alcohol-related problems people will cause or experience.
