There is no doubt that college campuses are filled with alcohol and parties. Many students engage in alcohol consumption and some also use drugs. Although alcohol use is widely accepted in the college student population there are intervention plans attempting to limit alcohol consumption to protect students from the negative consequences associated with alcohol abuse. This is a compilation of a few different behavioral intervention strategies for reducing alcohol consumption in college age students. According to Dr. Amaro of the Institute on Urban Research at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts and Reed, Rowe, Picci, Mantella, and Prado, (2010), implementation of the “Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention for College Students (BASICS)” can be linked to safer drinking practices among college students (2010). Two of the articles used for this research are about brief intervention strategies for college students. There was an interesting theory based intervention strategy, whose goal was to reduce pre-drinking (Caudwell, Mullan, Hagger, 2016). Pre-drinking is the act of drinking before going to the planned event for the night. Electronic interventions were also a mentioned method. One case study utilized an alternative counseling protocol with a combination of a brief intervention strategy as well. Self-monitoring interventions are a useful way to

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).

A person with a diagnosis of Alcohol Use Disorder has many viable options for treatment. Pharmacological options won’t cure the alcohol use disorder, but may help decrease the urge to consume alcohol. Inpatient rehabilitation treatment centers are an option as in the movie 28 Days. There is also outpatient therapy along with support groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous.

Throughout history the abuse of alcohol and underage drinking has been a serious problem, especially at colleges and universities. In recent research, for the past 20 years more than 80 percent of undergraduates drink. And two thirds of those students partake in “binge drinking”, which is consuming excessive amounts of alcohol. Most of the drinking takes place at fraternity houses, which is where all the crazy and violent behaviors usually occur. But the alcohol should be no blame because millions of people drink alcohol on daily basis and don’t attribute to bad behavior. The problem is the lack of parental guidance greek life has. For most students this is first time they have freedom, so what they are doing is learning their limits.

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

Jason at twenty two years old is possibly living with consequences and after-effects of life from living with an alcoholic parent, he may be referred to as an adult child of an alcoholic or ACOA. According to the Public Health Agency of Canada in 2001, determinants of health were generated, “These are essential building blocks in life and it one element is missing or lack then the system can become unhealthy, these could be seen as components of healthy living which include a bio-psycho-social perspective” (Causton, 2014). Some of the determinants of health are: income and social status, social support networks, education and literacy, employment and working conditions, social environments, physical environments, personal health practices and coping skills.

The subject that we will be fixing in this essay is ‘Doug’. Doug has a problem with drinking. He had an easy upbringing, but lived with a military father.

Recidivism relates to a person repeating an undesirable behavior after they have either experienced negative consequences of that behavior, or have been treated or trained to extinguish that behavior (Henslin, 2008). Progress being made in families and individuals due to lack of life skills that lead to causal factors to high recidivism rates in substance abuse and mental health treatment has been a growing issue posed by researchers. According to Miller & Hobler (1996), “In Deleware, 84% of Life Skills participants are male; 66 percent are
