Key Populations

While the majority of content on this Web site assists prevention professionals on college campuses and in the surrounding community to address issues of alcohol, other drug, and violence (AODV), the following sections of the site address other populations that can play a role in and/or may take interest in the issues of AODV in college settings:

College and University Presidents

Presidents are far and away the most influential people on campuses with respect to voicing their concerns about AODV problems and making prevention a priority for staff and students.

Community Colleges

Community colleges play an important role in the nation’s system of postsecondary education.

Parents

Parents can serve as effective advocates for change and concern through every stage of their students’ time in college, starting with the admissions process.

Students

Students can play an important role in advancing solutions to AODV problems on campus, and serving as a voice for change.

Historically Black College and Universities

Studies confirm that students at historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and African American students in general drink far less and, as a result, suffer fewer consequences than do students at predominantly white institutions.
