Environmental Management Approach to AOD Prevention
The essence of the environmental management approach to alcohol and other drug prevention is for college officials, working in conjunction with the local community, to change the campus and community environment that contributes to AOD problems. Such change can be brought about through an integrated combination of programs, policies,and public education campaigns.
