    Author: Chiauzzi E, Donovan E, Black R, Cooney E, Buechner A, Wood M.
    Journal: J Am Coll Health; 2011; 59(6):563-73. PubMed ID: 21660812.
    Abstract:
    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.
