Get results. Change campus culture.
AlcoholEdu for College is the only online alcohol prevention program that was designed for population-level, primary prevention. Its personalized approach provides an experience that impacts both individual behavior and campus culture, reducing your institutional risk.
More than half a million students engage with AlcoholEdu for College every year - producing the world's largest database on college students and alcohol. It remains the only program specifically designed for ALL students - whether they are frequent heavy drinkers, light to moderate drinkers, or non-drinkers.
AlcoholEdu partners are among the most successful in the country in reducing the negative consequences of alcohol on their campuses. In fact, United Educators, the leading risk liability insurance provider, recommends AlcoholEdu for College as a strategy for reducing institutional risk stemming from high-risk drinking as a result of our partners' success.

The AlcoholEdu Standard
AlcoholEdu for College is designed as a Population-Level Prevention program to be given to an entire population of students, such as an entering first-year class. This method creates a learning experience that:
- Motivates behavior change
- Resets unrealistic expectations about the effects of alcohol
- Links choices about drinking to academic and personal success
- Helps students practice safer decision-making
- Engages students to create a healthier campus community

An independent study of 20,150 first-year students from 225 participating institutions of higher education compared students who had completed AlcoholEdu for College in 2003-2004 (the intervention group) to a comparison group that had not. The study found that students who had completed AlcoholEdu for College reported:
- Fewer negative consequences (hangover/mental impact, academic consequences) in the past 2 weeks
- Fewer incidents of heavy alcohol use (5 or more drinks in one day) in the past 2 weeks
- Fewer incidents of risky behavior while drinking
- Increased disagreement with statements of positive alcohol expectancies
The study, conducted by Dr. Andrew F. Wall of the University of Rochester, demonstrated that these results persisted throughout much of the school year, and the strongest effect sizes were seen for implementations with the entire first-year class.*

"The program changed my entire outlook on drinking. I knew that it could lead to irresponsible decisions, but some of the statistics revealed that even those who are always cautious and safe could be placed in very unsafe predicaments."
