Early Intervention is Key Important Study Findings: Substance abuse doubles between the first and third years of college. Few students recognize their substance use as problematic. Of those that do, less than 5% seek help. Substance abuse strongly linked to poor academic performance and discontinuous enrollment. The Center on Young Adult Health and Development (CYAHD) at the University of Maryland School of Public Health.

Early Intervention is Key Fall 2013 PACE Classes Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT)--Self-report, anonymous ScoreScreening results categoryStudent score Screening results are not consistent with hazardous or harmful levels of alcohol use Screening results suggest use beyond "safe" levels and lean toward hazardous and harmful; consider taking action to reduce use Screening results are consistent with hazardous or harmful drinking; take action to reduce use Screening results are consistent with alcohol dependence in need of treatment 10

Strategic Planning Summer project of management team 5 year plan, continued development Problem statement Goals Objectives Outcomes(short, intermediate and long- term)

Strategic Planning Overarching problem statement: “Too many UW-Stevens Point students use substances to excess which results in significant academic, emotional, physical, social, and financial consequences to the self and the greater community.”

Strategic Planning Goals Goal #1: Develop a model for AODA prevention and intervention that will engage a diverse group of stakeholders and various departments in its implementation Goal #2: Develop guidelines, data collection processes, and training components to support enforcement and sanctioning consistency

Strategic Planning Goal #3: Establish and implement a system for AODA-related policy development, review, revision and dissemination (Review at alternating biennial reviews-every 4 years) Goal #4: Establish minimum standards, enforcement protocols, and consequences for conduct related to AOD use as related to official and unofficial university and academic activities

Strategic Planning Goals Goal #5: Improve evaluation practices within programs and services including expectations for knowledge, skill, and behavioral changes Goal #6: Establish a communications plan and curriculum to share AODA-related data, prevention strategies, resources, and alcohol-free options for faculty, staff, and student employees

Strategic Planning Goal #7: Provide quality education through programs and services—increase knowledge of the effort/knowledge of the issue by using best practices Goal #8: Develop, implement, evaluate and sustain initiatives to reduce negative consequences from student drinking in the immediate surrounding communities
