UNIVERSITY QUEEN’S FLASHBACK: APRIL FOOL’S DAY ROUNDUP 1975 1987 1993 A feat of engineering Mouseketeer time King Kong takes Grant Hall Online survey checks drinking habits “How often do you visit the local pub or bar? Have you missed class because of your drinking? What strategies do you use to protect yourself or your friends when drinking?” These are questions a new online tool called Check Yourself asks University of Alberta students. A coalition of student services groups concerned about student drinking brought the intervention tool to campus. “Problem drinkers often believe their drinking is more typical than is actually the case, and this tool helps them challenge those beliefs,” says Cameron Wild, a researcher who has been studying the effective- ness of online intervention tools for several years. He says the anonymous reviews can be useful as they offer a non-threatening, non-judgmental way for people to assess their drinking. A recent study using a similar online program found that problem drinkers reported less drinking in follow-up interviews after they took the test. University of Alberta ExpressNews, Feb. 25

Microbrewery at U of Saskatchewan? The Students’ Union says it’s all in the name of research.
