AlcoholEdu
A self-paced online program that provides comprehensive information about safe, responsible drinking and ways to avoid the pitfalls associated with high-risk drinking. This program provides information about the risks associated with excessive alcohol use but also discusses guidelines for enjoying moderate, low-risk consumption. It is based on the premise that students will make healthier decisions if they are well informed. Because it is self-paced, scheduling is not a problem; therefore, this is an excellent choice for groups who want a program that will reach all of their members without the hassles of arranging a large meeting.
