AlcoholEdu® for College

WHAT STUDENTS REALLY THINK

Research Methodology

The overall sample is 207,566 students, from 218 colleges and universities, across 38 states.

Questions are set up on a 7-point Likert scale (e.g. 1-7, strongly agree to strongly disagree). Responses were split into three categories: Negative (1-3), Neutral/Moderate (4), or Postive (5-7).

No incoming college student thinks a required course on alcohol is going to be fun, but the feedback we continually gather may surprise you. A quantitative analysis of 207, 500 incoming first-year students who completed AlcoholEdu for College in the 2008-2009 academic year revealed that they found the course to be engaging, stimulating, and informative.
