Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

["Langford, Linda" <>]

Dear Colleagues,

 

Sorry for the last-minute request – we’d greatly appreciate responses by COB Thursday 2/17 (tomorrow.) As part of our contract with the U.S. Department of Education, we annually gather information from prevention practitioners and researchers about what you see as “emerging issues” in the higher education prevention field in three areas: alcohol prevention, drug prevention, and violence prevention. I’d especially love to hear from list members about emerging issues in violence prevention, but I know some of you also work on alcohol or drug issues, so feel free to comment on those areas as well. Your responses will inform the Department of Education’s efforts as well as the Higher Education Center’s products and services.

 

Here’s the formal request:

Please consider emerging issues in the prevention of violence, including (but not limited to) emergency management, hazing, hate crimes, rape and sexual assault, intimate partner violence, riots and campus disturbances, stalking, and suicide; alcohol abuse, including high-risk drinking; and other drug abuse, including prescription drugs, club drugs, and marijuana.

We appreciate your taking the time to answer the following questions:

1. What are the emerging issues and challenges facing practitioners in alcohol, drug, or violence prevention?
    
2. What are the emerging issues in alcohol, drug, or violence research?
    
3. What do you believe are the priorities for the alcohol, drug, or violence prevention and research fields?
    

Please send responses to Tracy Downs at by close of business on Thursday, February 17, 2011.  

 

Thanks very much for your input!

Linda Langford
