Mission of Partners In Prevention:
To create a campus, city and state environment that supports good decision
making in regards to alcohol by the college students who attend the
public higher education institutions in the State of Missouri.
Purpose:
To create a state-wide coalition of public institutions of higher education
in Missouri and relevant state agencies (the Missouri Division of Alcohol
and Other Drug Abuse, Missouri Department of Liquor Control and the
Missouri Division of Highway Safety) to Collaboratively develop strategies
for reducing and preventing high-risk drinking among Missouri college
students. The goals are as follows:
1) To establish a communication network among the public
institutions of higher education in Missouri and state agencies to
create effective strategies for addressing the abuse of alcohol and
other drugs among Missouri college students.
2) To provide on-going training opportunities for higher education
professionals and students on the effective prevention of alcohol and
other drug abuse among Missouri college students.
3) To facilitate evaluation efforts including an environmental assessment,
needs assessments, establishment of baseline data of students' AOD
usage patterns, and measuring the effectiveness of policy changes and
program implementation over the grant period.
4) To provide resources that the campuses can access in order to create
on-going, creative and effective prevention efforts.
Outcomes:
1) An increase in the number of campus/community coalitions
throughout the state.
2) An increase in the skill level of those students and professionals
who participate in training opportunities.
3) To collect baseline data on students at all participating Missouri
colleges and universities.
4) A decrease in availability of alcohol to college students.
5) An increase in the number of alternative, alcohol free programming
on the participating campus communities.
6) A decrease in student drinking rates including; binge drinking,
average number of drinks per week and number of times students drink
per week.
7) A decrease in the negative consequences of binge drinking including
violence.
8) An increase in the accuracy of students' perception of their peer's
