There is a profound weakness in the support provided to students during the transition into high school. By the time they are in high school, as many as 40 to 60 percent of all students— urban, suburban and rural—are “chronically disengaged” from school. When students are disengaged, they are vulnerable to a variety of risks and health-compromising behaviors, including drug use, violence, pregnancy, and high school dropout. By intensively focusing prevention efforts on the middle school to high school transition, we can transform this period of heightened vulnerability into one of significant opportunity to prevent potentially devastating personal and societal consequences of serious risk behavior.
Why is it that we see something happening or we hear something and we want to make the difference, we want to take an action to intervene, yet we don't? What is it that gets in the way? Why can't we, in that moment, be the "everyday hero" that we want to be? We take a real look at the phenomenon of bystander behavior and how it interferes with anyone's ability to make the difference in a situation. Mike uses live texting for an interactive look at this -- along with video clips from the award-winning educational DVD (based on the work of Dr. Alan Berkowitz). You will leave empowered to be an "everyday hero" in your life -- and inspire others to be the same.
Data shows that college students are struggling and that they regularly turn to their friends for support. Anecdotal evidence reveals these friends, while supportive, can frequently feel "in over their heads" trying to help. This session will discuss a training program for college students that provides them with knowledge, skills, experience, and support to be able to identify peers who are struggling, talk to these peers, and connect them with other resources when appropriate.
Are You Aware? is an interactive theater production utilizing the social norms approach to addresssafety and development concerns for incoming students. Pre and Post tests assess learning outcomes including alcohol, prescription drug abuse, sexual health, consent, bystander intervention and campus resources. This production utilized National College Health Assessment data for our campus and educates students about issues specific to the college population. After the production, moderators will review data and address participant questions.
UH’s comprehensive prevention program is theory-driven and research-based, implementing strategies from NIAAA Task Force recommendations. One component, Intent and Motivation: Alcohol Group Exercise (IMAGE) has been awarded Model Program status twice by the US Department of Education (2008 and again in 2010). Our approach places cohort social norming and personalized feedback within the larger context of the Theory of Reasoned Action (which suggests that behavior is influenced strongly by both the student’s “intent” to change and relevant normative beliefs). Tailoring the program to enhance intention to change has resulted in more effective programming, provided outcome data, and demonstrated the strength of normative feedback when incorporated into a comprehensive approach. This session will describe the underlying theory and conceptual framework of the program, as well as describing the session in detail, and the statistically significant results that we have documented for the past three years. We will provide information about available training and support for replication of IMAGE on your campus.
With the goal of “Expelling ‘Ed’” from the college campus, we recognize that all phases of prevention have both specific and overlapping roles in addressing eating disorders. While there is commonality of information among prevention levels, each must be tailored to the audience and individual. Recognizing that any prevention effort can be a challenge on the college campus due to resource and time limitations, we will examine how to be more effective in the university setting. This will include a brief look at what some colleges are already doing, sharing of ideas through discussion, and keeping goals realistic.
In this era of financial crisis, the need for collaboration to achieve operational efficiencies and maximize resources is critical to the success of prevention efforts, and campus alcohol and other drug prevention campaigns are no exception. To leverage limited resources and tight budgets, Recovery Resources, a leading behavioral healthcare organization in Cleveland, is working with local colleges and universities to impact the drinking culture on and off campus using an evidence-based environmental management approach. Together, RR and Higher Ed staff are creating comprehensive policies and programs that promote healthy norms among students, and which ultimately impact the greater community in a positive way. RR will discuss the implications of community/campus collaborations for NE Ohio and across the nation, and also share its experiences providing prevention services for local colleges/universities.
Students in schools have an important role to play in their own sexual health education. They are not merely recipients of instruction; they are largely underutilized resources, capable of delivering prevention education programs and services in a way that impacts significantly their own lives, the lives of their peers, and the overall quality of their schools. While peer education programs may be undertaken due to a belief that they are easy and convenient, effective peer
Many of the corner stores are now seeing legal drugs and drug paraphernalia with little or no age restriction. New designer drugs are popping up all the time; we need to be aware of what dangers they may hold for our students.
Energy drinks have become a very popular choice for fast energy, but if used in excess, these drinks are dangerous. Also, learn about the concerns when mixing them with alcohol.
