Abstract

The environmental management approach to alcohol and other drug abuse and violence (AODV) prevention is based on the principle that college students' conduct can be shaped through concerted efforts to reengineer the environment that shapes their behavior. Constructing a campus, community, and State-level environment that will protect students and help them make healthier and safer decisions is challenging work. This publication outlines how campus officials can best organize and work collaboratively with campus and community coalitions and statewide initiatives to accomplish their AOD and violence prevention goals.
