There are multiple settings in which students can be identified. In the next part of this section, the various settings and contexts in which students can be identified and screened for high-risk drinking behavior are described. Referrals can then be made to these providers. Colleges should, at the very least, form relationships with providers in the community that can offer more intensive services to students with the highest level of problems.
How frequently a student with an alcohol problem receives such interventions should be ideally tailored to the level of severity of their problem, but it is understood that there are constraints on resources that might make the ideal scenario unrealistic. The second part of the system is a plan to route students with different drinking patterns toward an appropriate level of intervention and monitor their outcomes. A campus needs to be proactive and systematic about identifying at-risk students by screening in many different settings. The first part of such a system is understanding the population of students with respect to their drinking patterns. 3 This is due in part to the low self-recognition of problems among students, as well as the lack of campus resources to screen students and to provide services. Research tells us that college students who need services rarely get them. One of the most critical components of a campus strategic plan to address college student drinking is the design and implementation of a system by which college students who are at varying levels of risk get the appropriate level of services. Individual-level Strategies Overall Goal: Develop and Implement a Campus-wide System to Screen, Identify, and Intervene with Students who are at Risk for Alcohol-related Problems
