THE COLLEGE OF NEW JERSEY COMMISSION ON THE PREVENTION OF ALCOHOL ABUSE - FINAL REPORT

This report provides recommendations that include specific actionable strategies for the campus community. More importantly, the CPAA recommends that the College adopt an overarching “environmental management approach” (DeJong et al, 1998) that will guide the decisions of the administration, faculty, and staff as we collaboratively create a health-promoting normative environment that is conducive to our students’ development of healthy beliefs about, and attachment to, our campus community.

RECOMMENDATION #1: ESTABLISH A HEALTH PROMOTIONS LEADERSHIP TEAM TO SUPPORT BEST PRACTICES AT TCNJ

RECOMMENDATION #2: APPLY A COMPREHENSIVE ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT APPROACH TO DEVELOP PREVENTION STRATEGIES

RECOMMENDATION #3: REVIEW AND REVISE THE ALCOHOL AND OTHER DRUG POLICY TO CREATE A HEALTH-PROMOTING NORMATIVE ENVIRONMENT AT TCNJ
