Biennial Alcohol Policy Report: 2011-2013

California State University, Fresno (Fresno State)

Dr. Paul Oliaro, Vice President for Student Affairs

Introduction

During the past two years, California State University, Fresno (Fresno State) has continued its efforts to implement

the CSU Alcohol policy through its Alcohol Safety Council and the Health Promotion and Wellness Services Department

within the Student Health Center. During this time, the Council changed its name and mission statement to be more inclusive of the work on campus to address not just alcohol, but tobacco and other drugs as well. In May 2012, the

Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drugs (ATOD) Safety Council was formed. The mission statement and learning outcomes of the ATOD Safety Council is as follows:

The Fresno State Alcohol Tobacco and Other Drugs Safety Council (ATODSC) strives to promote and sustain a safe, healthy, and responsible learning environment in the campus community by:

Developing and coordinating education, prevention and intervention programs, practices and policies and regarding alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs; and,

Advising and collaborating with the University administration, the campus, and the surrounding community on alcohol these issues; and,

Creating a well-informed and empowered campus community around the use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs.

Learning Outcomes:

Reduction in the amount of high-risk drinking behaviors, tobacco and drug use and the potential resulting harm among the campus community; and,

Creation of increased alternatives to alcohol, tobacco and other drug use in the campus community.

The ATOD Safety Council is made up of campus and community representatives who provide leadership to all phases of the campus alcohol, tobacco and other drug use prevention program. (See Appendix A for ATODSC Membership Roster) At monthly meetings, specific tasks were undertaken by subcommittees such as a Student Subcommittee, a Faculty subcommittee, an Education & Prevention Services Subcommittee and a newly added Prescription Drug Use

Subcommittee. Ad-hoc committees were formed and met to take action on projects such as:

In 2011, the Alcohol Safety Council (ASC) received a $5,000 unrestricted contribution from Donaghy Sales, Inc. The grant was used to continue funding part of the Stall Seat Journal newsletter to educate students on alcohol safety, posted in

restroom stalls across campus. It is based upon successful implementation at schools such as the University of Virginia and Virginia Commonwealth University. This monthly newsletter featured content focused on alcohol safety messages,

wellness related information and notices of upcoming alcohol free events on campus.

II. Successful Program Implemented Over the Past Two Years

The continuation of a new student involvement program has been very successful. FREAKS (Finding Responsible and

Entertaining Activities on KampuS) is a program providing students the opportunity for fun and safe activities on campus. Held Friday nights from 5 p.m. to midnight in the Residents Dining Hall, students, colleagues, and community

members play board games and socialize.

They have a wide variety of games. Party, Strategy, Dexterity, Kids, Dice-based, Card-based, Sports, Racing and War-based games are always available. Most of these games are referred to as Euro’s. These German-style board games are

a broad class of tabletop games that generally have simple rules, short to medium playing times (20 minutes to 3 hours),

3

indirect player interaction and attractive physical components. The games emphasize strategy, downplay luck and

conflict, lean towards economic rather than military themes, and usually keep all the players in the game until it ends. German-style games are sometimes contrasted with American-style games, which generally involve more luck, conflict,

and drama.

Initiated in 2009, the program has grown from seventeen original members to more than 450 over the past three years.

Increasing its membership by more than 250 in the past year alone, this now formal university “club” is intended to reduce the health-risk taking behaviors of students by providing social events centered on boardgaming.

In a pilot evaluation of effectiveness, the program demonstrated improved critical thinking of its members as well as

reduced alcohol use, binge drinking, and marijuana use when compared to a control group of non-participant Fresno State students.

The FREAKS program has already spread to local high schools as well as CSU-Fullerton, with other schools and Universities expressing interest in starting programs. A manual for beginning local gaming programs was developed with

the hopes of more sites implementing the program.

III. A Summary Campus Activities Related to Tobacco Use

The following is a summary of campus activities related to tobacco use at Fresno State:

Policy: Fresno State’s Smoke-free Campus Policy was written in 2003. The policy remained in effect during the 2011-13

academic years.

Project IMPACT 4 Life is a Fresno State club dedicated to reducing the secondhand smoke exposure to the

campus community. It is supported by a staff member at the local chapter of the American Lung Association. Its advisor is a Public Health Professor from Fresno State. Project IMPACT members have

been collecting signatures for a petition to make Fresno State a smoke free campus. They have also tabled

several events on campus to educate students, staff and faculty about the dangers of smoking and secondhand smoke. Project IMPACT members attended an ASI meeting in the Spring of 2012 to advocate

for a smoke free campus. In the Fall of 2012, Project IMPACT members completed a butt pick up and displayed them in the library to draw awareness to the issue of cigarette litter. The club also plans to bring

the documentary “Addiction Incorporated” to campus to further raise awareness about the addictive

natures of nicotine in cigarettes in the Spring of 2013.

Education: A clinical psychologist continued to offer one-on-one smoking cessation to Fresno State students interested in quitting

smoking.

Student Use: Based on a total of 1,082 students randomly selected who participated in the National College Health Assessment in the Spring of 2011, the following statistics were identified:

75% of Fresno State students have never used cigarettes (up slightly from 74% as reported in 2009)

9 out of 10 Fresno State students have never smoked or haven’t smoked in the last 30 days (same as 2009

survey findings)

IV. Summary Campus Activities Related to Prescription Drug Use

According to the results of the National College Health Assessment conducted in 2011, data showed the percentage of

students reported taking prescription drugs not prescribed to them in a twelve month period of time. The percentage of Fresno State students who reported using pain killers and antidepressants that were not prescribed to them is higher than the national reference data.

Type of Prescription Percentage

(Fresno State Data)

Reference Group

(National Data)

Antidepressants 3.3% 3.2%

Erectile Dysfunction Drugs 1% 1%

Pain Killers 8.7% 7.5%

Sedatives 2.2% 4.3%

Stimulants 1.7% 7.8%

Fresno State also added in a few custom questions to the 2011 survey pertaining to prescription drug usage and here are

the results:

At the Student Health Center, the Pharmacist in Charge monitors prescriptions for falsification or alterations, observes

for potential “doctor shopping” and notes whether the student has been seen by one provider or multiple providers

and receiving an excess amount of controlled medications. He counsels students on how to take a medication appropriately and uses resources such as the CURES program to identify misuse.

If a pharmacist or provider staff suspects a student is abusing prescription medications or inappropriate prescribing is

taking place the Medical Chief of Staff or administrator is notified immediately. An ad hoc “Patient Care Committee”

is assembled and the case is discussed. A care plan is developed; the student is notified by the appropriate person which may be the Medical Chief of staff, a provider or an administrator of the plan of care. A notation is made in the

electronic medical record so that all providers are aware that controlled substances are not to be prescribed for this student.

5

In spring 2012, a Prescription Drug Abuse educational panel discussion, Thrills Without Pills, was held

in the free speech area of campus. The intent of the program was to provide students insight into the developing

problem of misuse. Community experts from many different areas (prevention, treatment, law enforcement, medical community, etc.) were present to answer questions and provide information from their personal experiences dealing

with this fast growing issue. More than 2,000 informational fliers were distributed to campus students and more than 400 students attended the community panel.

The Lock It Up Prescription Drug Abuse Prevention Project has been collaborating with Fresno State to

prevent and raise awareness regarding prescription drug use and misuse on campus. This program is part of the

California Health Collaborative and is funded through the Fresno County Department of Behavioral Health, Substance Abuse Services to serve the Fresno State campus. In collaboration with the Fresno State Alcohol Safety Council

Student Sub-Committee – now known as the Drug & Alcohol Awareness and Wellness Guides (the DAAWGs) -- Lock It Up staff met frequently throughout both years to plan and implement the large scale events in honor of National

Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week (the “Fall Harvest Fest” in 2011 and the Oktober Wellness Fest in 2012) as well as the “Spring Break Extravaganza” in 2012. During all of these events, Lock It Up Project staff set out an informational

table with educational materials regarding prescription drug abuse, opportunities to volunteer, as well as interactive

activities for students to participate in to learn more about the issue and have the opportunity to win promotional items or other incentives. The Lock It Up Project also provided educational presentations and trainings to the

DAAWGs volunteers in both 2012 and 2013. During the Fall semester of 2012, the Lock It Up Project launched its first semester of Peer Education Program, recruiting eight students to become peer educators. Students provided

education to their peers on campus by conducting presentations, setting up information booth, and distributing

program materials, to heighten awareness of the issue. Further, students created a series of fliers and Public Service Announcements, with the purpose to educate their peers and the community at large of prescription drug abuse.

Training for Intervention Procedures (TIPS) Trainings

Josh Edrington, Clubs and Organization Coordinator, and Eddie Dominguez, Greek Advisor, continued to offer TIPS training for Fresno State as a 2.5 hour program that helps students make sound choices when faced with difficult

decisions about alcohol use. TIPS training provides students with the knowledge and confidence necessary to reduce high-risk drinking behavior among their peers. Throughout the 2011 and 2012 year, they conducted ten presentations

including, but not limited to, Concessions program for the Alumni Association volunteers to their special events as well as

for groups volunteering to serve at the Vintage Days beer and wine garden. Athletics

The Athletic department continues to be successful in its monthly drug testing and enforcement. Currently, all incoming

freshmen and transfer student athletes are tested at the start of the academic year. A random selection of 10% of

8

student-athletes from each team is tested on a monthly basis. On a monthly basis, student athletes are also tested who

have tested positive on a prior test or who have been identified by reasonable suspicion. A portion of their enforcement includes a referral and assessment to Avante Behavioral Health. Avante specializes in assessments of student athletes’

drug or alcohol use and referrals to a provider that will best fit the student athletes’ needs. A change was made to the 2011-2012 Substance Abuse Education and Testing Program with a clarification to post season/NCAA tournament testing.

Education/Awareness Events: During the fall of 2011 & 2012, freshmen classes as well as a few additional student athletes completed a TiPS certified

workshop to empower them to reduce high risk drinking behavior and help them make smart choices when faced with unruly situations. In February 2012, a group of two staff members and four student athletes attended the APPLE

Conference. “The APPLE Conferences, developed and coordinated by the Gordie Center for Substance Abuse Prevention at the University of Virginia, are the leading national training symposiums dedicated to substance abuse prevention and

health promotion for student athletes and athletics department administrators.” Continuing yearly education includes:

NCAA Drug Education video, Nutrition & Performance speaker, Conduct & Compliance education.

Screening, Brief Intervention, Referral to Treatment (SBIRT)

SBIRT continued in 2011 and 2012 in form of tabling at five different events including the Spring Break Extravaganza

and the National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week activities. A total of 273 Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) questionnaires were completed and the following results were obtained:

-7 (Low risk-Normal Usage)

-15 (Exceeding Safe Usage guidelines) -19 (Hazardous Usage: Help Strongly Urged)

-40 (Hazardous Usage: Help Required)

Note: All participants were offered feedback on their AUDIT scores from the Health Educator. Four participants in the

SBIRT screening had concerns with their score despite scoring below fifteen. All were referred to Psychological Services and offered the opportunity to provide the Health Educator their phone number. All participants declined to give a phone

number and as of 12/12/2012 none of the participants had visited Psychological Services and identified themselves as

SBIRT participants.

Performing Above the High Project The Performing Above the High (PATH) Project, a program of the California Health Collaborative, is funded

by the Fresno County Department of Behavioral Health to provide marijuana prevention services to 12-20 year olds throughout Fresno County. As part of prevention efforts, the PATH Project has provided targeted marijuana

prevention services to Fresno State’s 18-20 year old population. This is conducted through the implementation of various prevention services with the intent of decreasing marijuana use and increasing student knowledge regarding the

consequences of marijuana use. During the 2010-2013 school years, the PATH Project has hosted or participated in the following activities

exposing hundreds of CSU Fresno State Students to marijuana education and prevention information.

PATH staff has been active on the Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drug Safety Council. They have been involved on the campus by providing the following programs:

InShape, an Evidence-Based Curriculum proven effective to decrease marijuana, alcohol and tobacco use, among

young adults with over 100 students A Behavioral Transition Pilot Program focusing on young adult drug prevention curriculum with University incoming

freshmen

A Young Adult Marijuana Prevention Training on the effects and consequences of marijuana use and what students

can do to assist with prevention efforts

Don’t Cancel That Class Marijuana prevention presentations provided to Fresno State students

Marijuana Presentation presented at the CSU AOD Educational Conference hosted by Fresno State

Hosted Marijuana Education Informational Booths at seven events at Fresno State

Fresno State Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drugs Safety Council (ATODSC)

Formerly known as the Alcohol Safety Council, the ATOD Safety Council’s Membership can be found in Appendix A.

Main Committee, Paul Oliaro, PhD, Chair – includes an active membership of 27 members and oversees the efforts

of the following three committees:

ATODSC Faculty & Staff Sub-committee Over the past two years, the faculty & staff sub-committee has participated in a number of events from the larger ATOD

Safety Council and continued its implementation and utilization of other programs and projects. The ATODSC website (redesigned in the fall 2010) has consistently been updated to best address the changing needs of students. The website

contains specific answers to student inquires related to alcohol use, tobacco and other drugs, including prescription drug

abuse. In the spring 2012, a mock DUI Trial event intended to inform students on the repercussions of drinking and driving. The event was attended by nearly 300 students and community members. ATODSC funding was integral in the

program’s development and success. Also in the spring 2012, a Prescription Drug Abuse educational panel discussion (Thrills Without Pills) was held in the free speech area of campus. The intent of the program was to provide students

insight into the developing problem of misuse. Community experts from many different areas (prevention, treatment, law

enforcement, medical community, etc.) were present to answer questions and provide information from their personal experiences dealing with this fast growing issue. More than 2,000 informational fliers were distributed to campus students

and more than 400 students attended the community panel.

ATODSC Education & Prevention Subcommittee

Earlier work of the ATODSC Education & Prevention Subcommittee included revamping the 21st birthday cards sent out by

the Office of the Vice President of Student Affairs. It went from a snail-mailed greeting card to an online/animated e-card with alcohol safety tips that is still emailed out to all Fresno State students coming of age. In addition, the Subcommittee

developed a “How to Help a Friend” Campaign with three posters and a handout with tips for Fresno State students on how to intervene. The Subcommittee collaborated with the Student Subcommittee to solicit input and

feedback. This campaign was presented at the 2011 AOD Conference hosted by CSU Dominguez Hills and Cal State Los

Angeles. The largest undertaking of this Subcommittee was the planning of the 2012 AOD Conference hosted by Fresno

State. This was a year and a half undertaking of monthly meetings and a lot of collaboration that resulted in a successful conference of just under three-hundred attendees on April 12-13, 2012. With the generosity of the

California Coalition for Safer Universities and other sponsors, the conference planning committee raised over $26,000 to

implement this conference. (See Appendix C for Conference Program)

In September 2012, after a discussion at the ATODSC meeting about the death of a Fresno State student earlier in the month as a result of alcohol poisoning, a special Ad-hoc committee was formed from several of the members

from the Education & Prevention Subcommittee. Its purpose was to examine Fresno State’s programming and practices around ATOD (specifically alcohol) and to make recommendations to reduce students’ risks

for alcohol poisoning. As of January 2013, the Ad-hoc committee completed the following actions: (See Appendix D

for the Ad-hoc committee’s findings and ATOD Program Matrix) The committee developed a survey that was sent to faculty, staff and administrators throughout the Fresno State

campus. Participants were asked to provide information on any programming, education, or other efforts that

included ATOD topics. Committee members followed up with some departments to clarify or seek additional information. The data were reviewed by the committee for trends and gaps.

A meeting was held with Chief Huerta of the University Police Department to gather information on policy/ law

enforcement and educational efforts led by UPD.

A conversation was held with the coordinator of the new student orientation program (Dog Days).

An electronic search of the University Course Catalog was conducted in order to identify academic courses

addressing ATOD issues. Other documents that were discussed in brief included Fresno State’s Use of Alcoholic Beverages Policy, NIAAA

Summary of the Final Report of the Task Force on College Drinking, and the CAS standards for Alcohol, Tobacco,

and Other Drug Programs. Finally, the ad hoc committee reviewed all of the information that had been gathered, identified strengths,

weaknesses, gaps and trends and developed recommendations to report to the larger committee.

10

With the receipt of a no-cost extension on the grant from the National Social Norms Institute, it was decided that the ATODSC would investigate the use of eCHECKUP TO GO as part of a comprehensive alcohol program to help all incoming

students’ assess their own drinking behaviors and educate them on student success resources on campus. An Ad-hoc committee was formed and convened in November and December 2012 to come up with implementation

recommendations which will be presented to the full ATODSC in January 2013. (See Appendix E for the Ad-hoc

committee’s recommendations)

ATODSC Student Subcommittee From spring 2011 to spring 2012, the ATODSC Student Subcommittee was heavily involved in planning and implementing

programs regarding alcohol safety. However, due to the ASC Student Subcommittee’s club-like structure, member

participation often fluctuated, causing difficulties during programming. Therefore, in the summer 2012, the ASC Student Subcommittee evolved into a peer education group known as the Drug & Alcohol Awareness & Wellness Guide (DAAWG)

Program. Unlike the ATODSC Student Subcommittee, the DAAWG Program includes an application and interview process, mandatory trainings, meetings, and office hours. The mission remains the same: to promote a campus culture of safe

and responsible consumption of alcohol and other drugs to prevent drug-related incidents among Fresno State students.

In both 2011 and 2012, the ATODSC Student Subcommittee/DAAWG Program continued to be heavily involved in

planning and implementing the two large alcohol awareness events – National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week and Spring Break Extravaganza. Additionally, the DAAWG Program continued with the distribution of the monthly Stall Seat

Journal in over 150 restrooms across campus with alcohol safety and other wellness-related messages.

In spring 2011, the ATODSC Student Subcommittee, collaborated with USU Productions to provide a free movie showing

for Fresno State students. Prior to the movie, a slideshow was displayed containing information on how to drink responsibly. Students were provided with a questionnaire which included questions that were associated with the

information that was on the slideshow. Approximately 120 students, as well as members of the community attended the event.

In fall 2012, the DAAWG Program launched the Protect Your ‘Dogs Campaign. The goal of the campaign is to prevent alcohol poisoning incidents among Fresno State students. The campaign includes posters (see

Appendix F), magnets, and interactive presentations and consists of two objectives: Students will be able to identify the signs of alcohol poisoning

Students will know how to handle an emergency involving alcohol poisoning

2012 Alcohol & Other Drugs Educational Conference Program

Appendix C


Alcohol Consumption

Ad-hoc Committee Findings & ATOD Program Matrix Appendix D

ATODSC Ad Hoc Committee

January 2013

Purpose: The purpose of this ad hoc committee was to examine Fresno State’s programming and practices

around ATOD (specifically alcohol) and to make recommendations to reduce students’ risks for alcohol

poisoning.

Background: The ad hoc committee is a subgroup of the Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drug Safety Council

(ATODSC) whose mission is “to promote and sustain a safe, healthy, and responsible learning environment in

the campus community by: developing and coordinating education, prevention and intervention programs,

practices and policies regarding alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs; and advising and collaborating with the

University administration, the campus and the surrounding community on alcohol-related issues; and creating a

well-informed and empowered campus community around the use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs.” The ad

hoc committee was formed in response to a Fresno State student’s death which resulted from alcohol poisoning

in September 2012.

Actions: The ad hoc committee completed the following actions in an effort to examine Fresno State’s ATOD

programming and practices:

The committee developed a survey that was sent to faculty, staff and administrators throughout the

Fresno State campus. Participants were asked to provide information on any programming, education, or

other efforts that included ATOD topics. Committee members followed up with some departments to

clarify or seek additional information. The data were reviewed by the committee for trends and gaps.

A meeting was held with Chief Huerta of the University Police Department to gather information on

policy/ law enforcement and educational efforts led by UPD.

A conversation was held with the coordinator of the new student orientation program (Dog Days).

An electronic search of the University Course Catalog was conducted in order to identify academic

courses addressing ATOD issues.

Other documents that were discussed in brief included Fresno State’s Use of Alcoholic Beverages

Policy, NIAAA Summary of the Final Report of the Task Force on College Drinking, and the CAS

standards for Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drug Programs.

Finally, the ad hoc committee reviewed all of the information that had been gathered, identified

strengths, weaknesses, gaps and trends and developed recommendations to report to the larger

committee.

Findings:

Assessments – SBIRT, a brief screening, intervention, and referral to treatment tool was reported to

have been used at Fresno State. This tool was used with a limited number of students. Additionally, the National

College Health Assessment survey is used to gather data on students related to on health behaviors which

include ATOD attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors. The data gathered from the two instruments were not

consistent with each other.

Education and Prevention - There were 43 non-academic programming efforts reported as available or

pending to the campus community (42 to students, 1 to parents).

20 of those are offered though Residential Life. Of those, 9 are for staff.

10 were reported by Health Promotions and Wellness Services.

11 were interactive workshops offered to select groups such as athletes or student organizations and

often as requested.

3 were events offered to the campus community.

2 were targeted to individual students who violated the alcohol policy.

4 orientations covering alcohol and/or tobacco and other drugs were reported for all housing residents,

Greek Life new members, club officers, and parents.

8 of the reported efforts were passive programming that may include print or electronic information.

Seven academic departments offer courses with ATOD listings. They include:

Public Health

Rehab Counseling

Social Work

Criminology

Women’s Studies

Nursing

University 1

Interventions

An AA meeting is held at the Student Health Center. It is not extensively promoted or well attended by

students.

Psychological Services at the Student Health Center offers individual therapy or referrals for students

who present with ATOD issues.

Policies and Enforcement – Fresno State maintains a policy on the use of alcoholic beverages on

campus. This policy includes language from California State Law. It covers the buying, selling, and

consumption of alcohol at all campus events. It also addresses residents of legal age to consume alcohol.

Enforcement of the policy is the responsibility of the University Police in coordination with other responsible

parties such as the Vice President for Student Affairs and the Dean of Students and Residential Life staff. The

University Police Department is also responsible for reporting and publicizing infractions according to the

mandates of the Clery Act.

Other

Other supportive programs such as the Lock It Up Project’s Drop-Off Box are provided.

Numerous activities and events, of which alcohol is not a component, are readily available for students

and the campus community.

Recommendations:

Assessments

In order to identify students who are at-risk, an assessment tool needs to be made available for all

students. Further research is recommended to determine the best tool and the best venue for such an

assessment.

Continue with plans for implementation of eCHECK UP TO GO.

Education and Prevention

All incoming students should receive ATOD education. In-person versus online programs should be

evaluated for effectiveness. This should be a requirement prior to registration or during the first week of

school. Best practices should be explored and matched to Fresno States’ student population and

resources. The coordinator is open to adding ATOD education to the current program and recognizes

that this addition would mean the deletion of or time reduction for other programs. The coordinator is

open to ideas of online training for students.

At-risk groups, which may include Greek Life, Athletics, Club Sports, Band, and others, should require

ATOD education for all participants.

Sub-groups such as individual student organizations should be included in future surveys in order to

capture additional programs offered.

Considering the number and types of offerings, in order to have a comprehensive integrated ATOD

education program at Fresno State, this committee is recommending a clearing house to act as a

resource, to track programs, assist with learning outcomes and to ensure consistency of messages. This

“clearing house” could be a standing subcommittee of the ATODSC.

Interventions

Research best practices for identifying high risk students and treatment options.

Explore collaboration with law enforcement for intervention options.

Implement a system for integrated reporting and referrals for judicial affairs, housing, student

organization review, and the University Police Department. This would include a path for interventions.

Policies

Examine the value of an amnesty policy.

Other

This committee recognizes the labor requirement for the implementation of the recommendations. We,

therefore, also recommend the addition of an ATOD program coordinator.

Athletics is sometimes seen as a high risk group. This committee would like to see an increased

representation on the ATODSC from Athletics and other groups identified as offering ATOD

programming and interventions.

Conclusions:

Fresno State provides alcohol education to students through various means including orientations,

lectures, print and electronic promotional and educational materials, interactive workshops and events, and

committee involvement. These opportunities are available to all students with groups such as residents, athletes,

and student club and organization leaders having more opportunities available to them. Additionally, students

with particular majors such as Public Health, Social Work, and Criminology have opportunities for more

intense academic work in the areas of ATOD. This committee recognizes the extent of the programming

available to Fresno State students, and at the same time we believe strongly that the programming needs to be

better integrated and examined for evidence of effectiveness. The goal is to align and integrate the individual

ATOD components into a fully interconnected campus-wide approach which supports the University’s goals

and priorities.

Fresno State also offers diverse and extensive opportunities for alcohol-free involvement throughout the

campus throughout the year. The work of this committee only touched the surface of these opportunities, but the

committee wanted to highlight this as a strength of the university.

Another strength acknowledged by this committee is Fresno State’s dedication and commitment to the

well-being of the students, particularly in the area of ATOD. This can be seen through the consistency in core

messages of safety, responsible use, and broad health concerns that are emphasized in the programming. Fresno

State’s leadership and front-line educators demonstrate their dedication through the sharing of their time,

expertise, and resources. Another strength of Fresno State is seen in its collaborations with community groups

and resources. This is to be commended.

The NIAAA Task Force suggested that 11% of college students are considered at risk. According to the

NCHA survey, 10-20% of Fresno State students engage in high risk behaviors. The data received from the

survey is in aggregate form; therefore, individual students are not identified or provided services. This

committee recommends that the campus provide an assessment that would identify individual students while

also developing appropriate treatment options for these students.

The purpose of this committee was to examine current ATOD practices and policies and to offer

suggestions that could help reduce the risk of student alcohol-related incidents including death. We recognize

that this is an ominous task with no one solution. We commend Fresno State for continuously addressing and

improving its efforts to provide a safe and healthy learning environment for the campus community.

Next Steps:

Work with the ATODSC to identify priorities.

Identify who will be responsible for the prioritized recommendations.

eCHECKUP TO GO Ad-hoc Committee

December 20, 2012

Program Implementation Recommendations

Ad-hoc Committee Members: Michelle Alcantara, Peggy Gish, Rosendo Iñiguez, Ellen Klute, Breanne Scogin,

Kris Wescott, Kathy Yarmo, Marisol Zamora

M. Alcantara, R. Iñiguez, B. Scogin and K. Yarmo met to follow up from the December 6th meeting. The following recommendations were developed to implement eCHECKUP TO GO ALCOHOL on the Fresno State campus. Target Group: all new undergraduate students (freshmen and transfer) entering Fresno State in the Fall 2013 semester Purpose: As one component to a comprehensive alcohol, tobacco and other drug program, participation in the eCHECKUP TO GO assessment will enable Fresno State to reach students, before they start their academic careers, and encourage them to assess their own risk for alcohol abuse, educate them on alcohol safety tips, as well as give them strategies for student success. Level of Mandate: “soft mandate” whereby students will be told about the requirement to complete eCHECKUP TO GO however it will not impact their ability to register for classes Implementation Steps: 1. A letter will be sent to both the new student and parent/guardian by the President of the University in either late

spring or early summer notifying them of the eCHECKUP TO GO requirement, along with a link to translated letters in Spanish and Hmong for those non-English speaking parents. This letter will also refer parents to a link that gives them suggestions on how to talk to their college students about alcohol safety.

2. New students will be given a reminder about the eCHECKUP TO GO requirement at Dog Days in the form of a pen as well as a banner on stage at the SSU.

3. New students checking into University Courtyard will be given another reminder in the form of: a. A key chain for their new dorm keys with one side reminding them of eCHECKUP TO GO and the other side

giving them the signs of alcohol poisoning/overdose with a phone number to campus police b. A reminder leaflet at the Information Fair c. Reminder table tents placed on tables during their first meal at the RDH

4. Send a reminder email to new students who have not completed eCHECKUP TO GO. 5. Added as of 1/30/13: invite same group of students to take the eCHECKUP TO GO assessment six months later to

assess any changes in behavior. Furnish them with opportunity to win prize raffle.

Timeline: 1. Late spring/early summer – letter from President to go out to all new students and parents/guardians about

eCHECKUP TO GO requirement 2. Dog Days – pens distributed as well as banner posted 3. University Courtyard Move In Day – distribution of key chain in all dorm rooms 4. First Meal in RDH – placement of table tents 5. University Courtyard Information Fair – distribution of reminder leaflets 6. Monday, August 19th – reminder email to go out to students who have not yet completed eCHECKUP TO GO survey 7. Friday, August 23rd – deadline by which students will be required to complete eCHECKUP TO GO survey 8. Added as of 1/30/13: February 23rd – deadline by which students will be re-invited to complete eCHECKUP TO GO

survey Content of Letter from President: 1. Use wording that eCHECKUP TO GO survey is required. 2. Discuss philosophy of University, the University’s alcohol policy as well as the fact that alcohol safety is Fresno

State’s priority. Next Steps: 1. Purchase eCHECKUP TO GO survey from SDSU. 2. Tailor eCHECKUP TO GO to Fresno State. 3. Confirm exact dates of activities such as Dog Days, University Courtyard move-in day, Housing Information Fair, date

of first meal at RDH. 4. Obtain commitment from new University President to sign letter. 5. Draft letter from President. 6. Translate letter into Spanish and Hmong. 7. Identify website or create pdf that gives parents tips on how to talk with their college-aged kids about alcohol safety. 8. Purchase and create artwork for pens, banner and key chains. 9. Draft email reminder to student. 10. Contact University Communications to identify email merge program to send reminder to students about eCHECKUP

TO GO. 11. Added as of 1/30/13: identify incentive prize raffle for six month follow-up, draft follow up email or letter to

students inviting them to complete eCHECKUP TO GO survey.
