Alcohol Skills Training
Beginning fall 2016, Kappa Kappa Gamma began offering the Alcohol Skills Training Program to our chapters. Twelve chapters participated in the fall, and another 12 will participate in spring 2017.
Developed at the University of Washington, the program is unlike most alcohol workshops in that it does not assume alcohol abstinence. ASTP acknowledges that many college students consume alcohol, so the program teaches safety and health surrounding alcohol choices. Hillary Stahl, Education Coordinator at Kappa Kappa Gamma Headquarters, touts the program's initial success in the 12 pilot chapters. Hillary says ASTP has been well-received in chapters because it's presented in a nonjudgmental setting where members can ask

Alcohol use disorder (AUD) has a major national health impact in the United States, affecting over 17 million people, causing more than 100,000 deaths and costing over $200 billion annually (Bouchery et al., 2011; Grant et al., 2004; Hardwood, 2000). Alcohol use and abuse is currently the third leading risk factor for premature death and composed of nearly 4% of all deaths worldwide (World Health Organizations). Despite a large amount of effort focusing on the development of new medications for AUD, currently there are only 3-FDA approved treatments on the market, all of which have only yielded limited success even when combined with psychosocial support (Harris et al., 2010; Litten e al., 2012). This is evident by the high rates of uncontrolled heavy drinking that continue to persist and the high relapse rate in patients even after long-term inpatient treatment and support (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration). As such, novel approaches that allow for rapid development of new and effective medication to treat and/or prevent AUD is an important public health goal (Bouchery et al., 2011; Heilig and Egli, 2006; Johnson, 2010; Johnson et al., 2007; Steensland et al., 2007).

It is inescapable, surrounding every aspect of life, casting its shadow upon society. Out of every accomplishment the human race has made, we have never been able to see through the boundaries that we build between ourselves. We have never been able to conquer the social restraints that are of our own doing. They exist without exception, bordering any difference between any people. Inequality is the oldest challenge that society has faced, and it is the hardest to defeat. While it has changed and transformed itself, inequality has existed throughout all of human history, including now, and the 1930s, the time in which Harper Lee’s novel, To Kill a Mockingbird is set. Inequality in the 1930s and now share many similarities, but are also very different. The constraints of class and social inequality of the 1930s are accurately portrayed in Harper Lee’s novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, and show parallels between then and now.

Young people and alcohol misuse: how can nurses use the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion?
In what ways does a parent’s alcoholism impact children’s social competence? What family variables have the most effect on social competence? In this paper, I will analyze three sources to answer these questions. An academic research study, a blog post describing a woman's experience growing up with an alcoholic mother, and an interview with a therapist at a treatment center for alcohol and drug addiction will give a diverse and thorough analysis through triangulation. The sources agreed that a parental alcoholism caused children to have more trouble making friends, low self-esteem, and that children can improve their social competence over time. The research study found that the interaction between the gender of the child and gender of the alcoholic parent had the greatest influence on social competence.

In terms of “Think More, Drink Less”, the presence of a Greek system and/or strong athletic program will not be considered a negative issue the campus faces, as it is ingrained to the culture; however, the intervention will be aimed at working with leadership of these types of programs to ensure members have been educated about the health outcomes of drinking alcohol. One environmental factor that has shown positive results is the declaration of a campus being substance free, meaning that alcohol free campuses have been shown to decrease the likelihood of students binge drinking if they did not binge drink prior to college (College Drinking: Changing the Culture, High-Risk Drinking in College). Campuses being declared substance free areas will be an ongoing goal of the “Think More, Drink Less” program at the schools it is incorporated, as this is a changeable and realistic goal for the program to
