Early Intervention is Key
Important Study Findings:
• Substance abuse doubles between the first and third years of
college.
• Few students recognize their substance use as problematic.
Of those that do, less than 5% seek help.
• Substance abuse strongly linked to poor academic
performance and discontinuous enrollment.
The Center on Young Adult Health and Development (CYAHD) at
the University of Maryland School of Public Health.

Strategic Planning
• Summer project of management team
• 5 year plan, continued development
• Problem statement
• Goals
• Objectives
• Outcomes(short, intermediate and longterm)
Strategic Planning
Overarching problem statement:
“Too many UW-Stevens Point students use
substances to excess which results in
significant academic, emotional, physical,
social, and financial consequences to the
self and the greater community.”
Strategic Planning Goals
Goal #1: Develop a model for AODA prevention
and intervention that will engage a diverse group
of stakeholders and various departments in its
implementation
Goal #2: Develop guidelines, data collection
processes, and training components to support
enforcement and sanctioning consistency
Strategic Planning
Goal #3: Establish and implement a system for
AODA-related policy development, review,
revision and dissemination (Review at alternating
biennial reviews-every 4 years)
Goal #4: Establish minimum standards,
enforcement protocols, and consequences for
conduct related to AOD use as related to official
and unofficial university and academic activities
Strategic Planning Goals
Goal #5: Improve evaluation practices within
programs and services including expectations for
knowledge, skill, and behavioral changes
Goal #6: Establish a communications plan and
curriculum to share AODA-related data,
prevention strategies, resources, and alcohol-free
options for faculty, staff, and student employees
Strategic Planning
Goal #7: Provide quality education through
programs and services—increase knowledge of
the effort/knowledge of the issue by using
best practices
Goal #8: Develop, implement, evaluate and sustain
initiatives to reduce negative consequences from
student drinking in the immediate surrounding
communities
Strategic Planning
Future steps will include identifying priorities and
establishing work groups.
