Alcohol and Other Drugs Initiatives

Comprehensive Prevention Strategy

The model for coordination of AOD programming includes five elements from five interacting domains (see Model graphic). This model puts into place a system whereby (1) student attitudes and motivations to use or abuse AODs are changed, (2) opportunities for students to act responsibly are provided, and (3) access to AODs is reduced to limit excessive consumption.

Programs and community collaborations here at SDSU that exemplify how each of the five elements in the Comprehensive Model for AOD prevention are being implemented include:

Individual Focus - Peer Education Programs; ASPIRE Counseling Program; e-CHUG Assessment w/Feedback; e-TOKE marijuana knowledge experience; Counter advertising campaigns; Alcohol Awareness events.

Behavioral Alternative - Substance free parties and social events; Athletics, recreational and other facilities.

Enforcement & Access - DUI checkpoints and Campus Posting Policy enforcement.

Community Action - In collaboration with the San Diego County District Attorney, San Diego County Sheriff's Department, San Diego Police Department, colleges, universities, the military, the Center for Community Solutions / Rape Trauma Center, the Sexual Assault Response Team and SDSU teamed together to form the PRICE Coalition (Preventing Rape by Intoxication through Community Education).
