Hobart William Smith Colleges

Subject:

Description:

Alcohol abuse continues to be a serious problem on college and university campuses across the nation. Students examine this problem from both natural scientific and social scientific perspectives. Readings include public health and social science research literature on the scope of alcohol use in college and the theories proposed to explain that use. The natural science literature is used to explore the pharmacologic effects of alcohol on the brain, related health risks, and the relationship of blood alcohol concentration to risk and harm. Students participate in ongoing research on the scope and consequences of alcohol use on this campus. Finally, educational models for abuse prevention and harm reduction are explored and evaluated for effectiveness. (Craig)
