Binge Drinking in College-Reply
Abstract
In Reply.
—Dr Bohlmann, Dr Meilman, and Ms Dimeff and colleagues raise important points in their letters commenting on our article. We agree with Bohlmann that secondary binge effects on nonbinging students are a major component of alcohol problems in colleges and may occur in all types of institutions from junior colleges to graduate or medical schools. Heavy episodic drinking among young people is a societal problem and not one limited to a few institutions of higher learning.Meilman is correct in identifying two active and preexisting national databases: the Core Alcohol and Drug Survey1 and the Monitoring the Future Project.2 The first consists principally of schools participating in Fund for the Improvement of Post-Secondary Education (FIPSE), which is funded by the US Department of Education and is an invaluable tool for monitoring student drinking in participating institutions. It has amassed the largest US database on college drinking
Background: Collegiate recovery programs (CRPs) are emerging as a strategy to provide after-care support to students in recovery from substance use disorders (SUDs) at institutions of higher education. CRPs are an innovative strategy for Health Educators to support the personal, academic, and professional goals of students in recovery. Purpose: This article reviews the history and current standards of CRPs as well as provides a case study on the development of a CRP at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG). Translation to Health Education Practice: The early outcomes of CRPs are promising, and the case study presented in this article provides Certified Health Education Specialists with a model to guide the creation of additional CRPs.
