Screening and Brief Intervention (SBI) Toolkit for Colleges

Many campuses will implement brief alcohol screenings for their campus students and staff on April 9, 2009, this year's Alcohol Screening Day. These quick assessments, particularly when followed with a brief, intentional conversation, can help students and staff to identify potentially high-risk alcohol use as well as strategies for decreasing their drinking. Take advantage of a free Screening and Brief Intervention Toolkit for campuses to help your campus effectively address alcohol abuse. BACCHUS will post additional SBI resources in the near future as well.

Identified as an effective strategy for addressing alcohol abuse among college students, The BACCHUS Network™, under a cooperative agreement with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, created a toolkit to assist college and university campuses utilize screening and brief intervention.
