The field of college alcohol prevention has benefitted from paradigms such as the 3-in-1 Framework, the Environmental Management Model, the NIAAA findings, and other useful guidelines.  What has been missing is a framework that views the problem in the context of the broader system and considers the relationships between its subsystems.  Applying the principles of Systems Thinking to alcohol prevention, Outside The Classroom has developed a groundbreaking new approach that will allow campuses to achieve true breakthrough progress in alcohol prevention.  This presentation will:

• Highlight the six key components of a Systems Approach to alcohol prevention.
• Describe a new methodology for determining “what works” -- which programs, policies and strategies are most effective.
• Unveil the Campus Diagnostic (www.campusdiagnostic.com), a groundbreaking new tool to help you evaluate your campus’s alcohol prevention programming and the degree to which prevention is a priority at your institution. (Participants are encouraged to complete the Campus Diagnostic (five-minute survey) prior to the webinar.)
