55% of 18 to 25 year old FLCC students received information on the correct year old alcohol and other drug (AOD) norms, and there was a 10% decline in reported misperceptions of these norms. The reported number of times FLCC students reported consuming five or more drinks in a sitting decreased from 35% in Spring 2005 to 33.5% in Spring 2009, while increasing nationally.

A significantly smaller percentage of FLCC student drinkers as compared to the 2008 Reference group reported they did something later regretted. Fewer FLCC students reported being injured and having alcohol impacting academics.

 Rise in physical harm & risk reported among first year females between 2005 and 2009 was of concern.  Revised message to reinforce student protective behavior:
