COLLEGE INTERVENTION:

Many colleges and universities have seen increased referrals of students to administration for violation of alcohol policies. Many of these students are binge drinkers; in fact, according to a study conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health, nearly 50 percent of all college students surveyed admitted that they participated in binge drinking during the previous two weeks.

Safer environmental interventions included nuisance party enforcement operations, minor decoy operations, DUI checkpoints, social host ordinances, and use of campus and local media to increase the visibility of environmental strategies. Intervention campuses differed in their level of implementation, but all concentrated on off-campus activities for drinking.

Tune in March 22 at 8 p.m. EST to see the blood, sweat, and tears as Andy the Alcoholic Hunter tracks down college students on the verge of failure, disappointment, and death to bring them back to the real world and to (hopefully) save their lives.
