While alcohol and other drug abuse and violence (AODV) have been a focus at institutions of higher education for over two decades, relatively little research on what works to prevent these problems has been conducted in a systematic manner. However, as this bibliography reflects, much has been published to inform a greater understanding of how AODV problems develop, and to describe promising theories and practices for preventing and reducing those problems. This bibliography is not intended to be exhaustive, but represents some important journal articles for advancing prevention at colleges and universities. The core of the Center’s approach to prevention is the concept of environmental management, which focuses attention on those strategies that will change the campus and community environment in which students are making decisions about alcohol and other drug use and violence. Therefore, many materials included in this bibliography reflect research findings, programs, and promising practices aimed at shaping the campus culture. Three major criteria were used in selecting references for this bibliography: (1) the reference reflected information relevant to AODV prevention or intervention at institutions of higher education, (2) the reference fit into identified topic areas listed in the Contents, and (3) the reference was published between 2006 and 2008. Note: The format and wording for the abstracts shown in this publication are excerpted directly from the journals in which they appear. There is a significant amount of literature in the field of college AODV prevention. This document attempts to compile these articles by topic area. Citations and abstracts are given only once, in their primary category; however, citations frequently will relate to other categories. In these instances they have been included in the “See also” section that follows each main section. The Center recognizes that many books, manuscripts, and other materials exist that discuss the topic of AODV prevention and intervention. For examples, refer to the Center’s Publications Web page for other important literature on these topics. However, because of the vast amount of relevant information this publication includes only peer-reviewed journal articles.

ALCOHOL ABUSE PREVENTION Scope of the Problem (Includes articles on incidence and consequences) Abbey, A., Parkhill, M. R., Buck, P. O., & Saenz, C. (2007). Condom use with a casual partner: What distinguishes college students’ use when intoxicated? Psychology of Addictive Behaviors, 21(1), 76–83. Determining alcohol’s precise role in sexual risk taking has proven to be an elusive goal. Past research has produced mixed results, depending on characteristics of individuals, their partners, and the situation, as well as how the link between alcohol consumption and sexual behavior was assessed. In this study, cross-sectional predictors of the frequency of condom use were examined for 298 heterosexual college students at a large urban university. In hierarchical multiple regression analyses that controlled for frequency of condom use when sober, alcohol expectancies regarding sexual risk taking and self-efficacy regarding condom use when intoxicated were significant predictors of frequency of condom use when intoxicated. These findings highlight the importance of targeting beliefs about alcohol’s disinhibiting effects in STD- and HIV-prevention programs. Beck, K. H., Arria, A. M., Caldeira, K. M., Vincent, K. B., O’Grady, K. E., & Wish, E. D. (2008). Social context of drinking and alcohol problems among college students. American Journal of Health Behavior, 32(4), 420–430. OBJECTIVE: To examine how social contexts of drinking are related to alcohol use disorders, other alcohol-related problems, and depression among college students. METHODS: Logistic regression models controlling for drinking frequency measured the association between social context and problems, among 728 current drinkers. RESULTS: Drinking for social facilitation was associated with drinking and driving and housing violations. Drinking in the context of motor vehicles was associated with alcohol abuse/ dependence. Drinking in a context of emotional pain was associated with clinical depression. CONCLUSIONS: Alcohol-free programming that fulfills needs for conviviality and addresses early signs of depression might reduce alcohol problems among college students. Benton, S. L., Benton, S. A., & Downey, R. G. (2006). College student drinking, attitudes toward risks, and drinking consequences. Journal of Studies on Alcohol, 67(4), 543–551. OBJECTIVE: This study examined whether college students’ attitudes toward risks explain significant variance in drinking consequences beyond gender, alcohol use, and self-protective strategies. METHOD: A derivation sample (N=276; 52% women) and a replication sample (N=216; 52% women) of undergraduate students completed the Campus Alcohol Survey (CAS) and the Attitudes Toward Risks Scale (ATRS). RESULTS: Scores on the ATRS correlated positively with students’ self-reported typical number of drinks and negative drinking consequences (p<.001). Hierarchical regression analyses indicated that ATRS scores explained significant variance in negative drinking consequences beyond college students’ gender, typical number of drinks, and use of protective strategies (p<.001). Furthermore, a significant Drinks x ATRS interaction revealed that heavy-drinking students
