JT Direct: Analysis Identifies Effective College Drinking Interventions

(7/22/2009 )

A Join Together found that internet and face-to-face individual counseling were most effective in curbing college drinking, whereas mail and group feedback did little to change drinking habits, according to a systematic review of previously published research on college alcohol use. A research summary is available on the JoinTogether.org News page.

Join Together is the only nationwide organization that brings together under one roof all the professional disciplines needed to study and combat abuse of all substances – alcohol, nicotine as well as illegal, prescription and performance enhancing drugs – in all sectors of society.
