Proposed Project
Science to Practice: Developing and Testing a Marketing Strategy
for Preventing Alcohol-related Problems in College Communities--NEW--
National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Each year, 1,700 college students die and more than 1.4 million are
injured as a result of alcohol-related incidents. Additionally, about
25% of students report negative academic consequences due to alcohol.
Despite the enormous public health burden of college-age alcohol
misuse, there have been few rigorous evaluations of environmental
strategies to address alcohol misuse in college settings. Environmental
strategies typically involve implementing and enforcing policies that
change the environments that influence alcohol-related behavior and
subsequent harm. Further, studies show that the typical lag time
between identifying effective interventions and obtaining widespread
adoption can stretch to well over a decade. Given the number of
students harmed, there is an urgent need to develop more efficient and
timely strategies for moving effective science to widespread practice.
This project will address this exact issue by systematically developing
a marketing strategy for The Safer Campuses and Communities
intervention, a comprehensive, community-based environmental prevention
program with proven efficacy in reducing intoxication and alcohol-
impaired driving among college students.
The CDC proposes an on-line information collection, which will take
place during the spring and fall semester of the 2012-2013 academic
years, and will constitute a marketing strategy targeting a national
sample of 4-year colleges and universities. The Institutional Data
Archive (IDA) on American Higher Education is a dataset consolidated by
researchers at the University of California, Riverside for the Colleges
& Universities 2000 Project. The dataset includes: earned degrees,
[[Page 20111]]
enrollments, finances, faculty salaries, technology transfer
activities, and institutional rankings over a 40-year period, 1970-
2011. IDA also includes census information concerning neighborhoods
surrounding colleges and universities.
160 Institutes of Higher Education (IHE) will be sampled from the
IDA in order to collect information from key informants and key leaders
from the surrounding community. Information gathered from these
respondents will be used to: (1) Develop and revise customized
marketing and program materials targeting potential campus and
community stakeholders; and (2) inform strategies for the marketing
plan, which aims to facilitate adoption of the Safer Campuses and
Communities intervention by IHEs.
The online survey will be completed by: College Administrators and
staff, campus and municipal police; as well as selected community
leaders. The IHEs will be contacted via email, with a maximum of 12
participants per IHE for a total of 1800 respondents. All respondent
information will be maintained in a secure, electronic format
accessible to a limited number of project staff. The amount of time
required for a respondent to complete the survey is estimated to be 1
hour.
There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total
estimated annual burden hours are 1,800.
