An Innovative Approach to College Student Drinking: On TRACK: Teaching Responsible Alcohol Choices and Knowledge

The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism Task Force summarized its findings and recommendations in "A Call to Action: Changing the Culture of Drinking at U.S. Colleges" (NIAAA, 2002) both with regard to the relevance of interventions to college students and the degree to which they are empirically based. According to this report, the most promising approaches are multifaceted and are identified as incorporating motivational enhancement interventions, cognitive-behavioral skills, and norms clarification (NIAAA, 2002).
