Environmental Management: An Approach to Alcohol and Other Drug Prevention

By Higher Education Center for Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse and Violence Prevention

This Prevention Update provides alcohol and other drug (AOD) prevention staff and administrators with a quick introduction to the Center's environmental management approach to AOD prevention. It describes five primary strategies for achieving environmental change, each designed to address a problem area that contributes to AOD use in a typical campus environment. The strategies are (1) offer alcohol-free social, extracurricular, and public service options; (2) create a health-promoting normative environment; (3) restrict the marketing and promotion of alcoholic beverages both on and off campus; (4) limit alcohol availability; and (5) increase enforcement of laws and policies.
