TEACHSOC: [Fwd: AlcoholEdu info]

[Del Thomas Ph. D.]

I thought that this may be of interest given earlier posts.  Also, I have not seen any of the alcohol prevention methods that could be proven.  My data in colleges found the following.  The 2nd year was the year with the highest year for intoxication for all groups except male frat members.  Non frat males and females shifted from low frequency hi volume to high frequency low volume over the course of the 4 years.  Binge drinking.  This come from the Jessors study.  I discussed it with them on more than one occasion and it is what it is.  Regardless of their use in a study with a very small n, they may have constructed the standard buy its use is the responsibility of others.  Most responsible researchers (often the less heard from) find as has been stated here the wide variety of drinks available, e.g., wine coolers, hard tea and lemonade make a major difference.  Del -------- Original Message -------- Subject: AlcoholEdu info Date: Fri, 9 Sep 2005 05:05:22 -0500 From: Dick Schoech <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: HUman Service Information Technology Applications <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]   For the complete article, See http://www.outsidetheclassroom.com/newsevents/press/pr_plp2005.asp   130 Colleges, Universities, and Greek Organizations Mandate Online Alcohol Prevention BOSTON - August 15, 2005 - This fall, more than 150,000 college students will complete an online alcohol prevention program in an effort by campus and Greek organization administrators to ensure that students have the skills they need to make safe and healthy decisions about alcohol.   AlcoholEdu for College is an online, non-opinionated prevention program used on more than 450 campuses around the country. The program, which takes about two-and-a-half hours to complete, integrates proven prevention techniques into the science-based curriculum. AlcoholEdu for College is customized based on each student's drinking behaviors, sex, and readiness to change, providing a highly personalized experience. It includes three confidential surveys which provide success metrics for the institution after students have completed the course. AlcoholEdu for College was developed by Boston-based Outside The Classroom, Inc. An independent, third-party evaluation of AlcoholEdu for College, undertaken by Andrew Wall, Ph.D., of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, revealed that students who completed AlcoholEdu for College experienced approximately 50% fewer negative health, social, and academic consequences during the academic year than students who had not yet taken the course. -- Dick Schoech [EMAIL PROTECTED] U.
