SPOTLIGHT: Alcohol Risk Reduction
|
Researchers estimate that each year almost 2,000
college students between the ages of 18 and 24 die from alcohol-related unintentional injuries. Approximately 696,000 students of the same age are assaulted by another student who has been drinking, and 97,000 students experience an alcohol-related sexual assault or date rape annually. Roughly 20 percent of college students meet the criteria for an alcohol use disorder, and about 1 in 4 college students reports academic consequences from drinking. While these numbers can seem overwhelming, the beginning of a new school year is an opportune time for schools to establish healthy norms and implement policies and programs to reduce the risks associated with student alcohol use. See the resources and news clips below to learn more about alcohol risk reduction.
