Objective:
The objective was to survey community college personnel about student substance use, and infrastructure (staff and funding), programs, and collaborations dedicated to substance use prevention.
Participants:
The sample included 100 administrators, faculty, and health services staff at 100 community colleges.
Methods:
Participants completed a Web-based survey.
Results:
Participants reported a number of alcohol and other drug (AOD) related concerns. Despite limited staff and funding dedicated to AOD, institutions are implementing a number of programs, although many are not implementing some of the programs popular at traditional 4-year colleges. They are also collaborating with a number of on- and off-campus groups. The availability of staff and funding dedicated to AOD, and the presence of residence halls, is associated with health programming and substance abuse collaborations.
Conclusions:
Results suggest that there is a need for increased research to understand the most effective AOD prevention strategies for community colleges.
