The Future of Alcohol Prevention:
Navigating Changes in the Higher Education Landscape
In 2010, The Coalition launched an ongoing research endeavor called The Future of Alcohol Prevention: Navigating Changes in the Higher Education Landscape. On an annual basis, our staff will take stock of the broader trends in higher education and beyond, gathering information from interviews with leading experts, published literature, daily feed of periodicals, trade journals, blogs, and reports from the field. This allows us to identify the economic, social, political, and demographic phenomena that we believe will have the greatest impact on college student health and wellness in the years to come. In short, we examine the major forces at play, analyze them, and share our thoughts on how the field can best prepare for these phenomena.
The report shares our findings from this first endeavor, and specifically examines:
- The five key forces transforming American higher education today
- Relevant implications of these changes for alcohol prevention
- Practical considerations and guidance on how best to prepare for what lies ahead
