A Matter of Degree Initiative to Reduce Binge Drinking at Colleges and Universities: Lessons Learned

A Matter of Degree (AMOD): The National Effort to Reduce High-Risk Drinking among College Students is a project that began in 1996 with funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. In AMOD, universities work with surrounding communities to gauge the effectiveness of an environmental approach to alcohol abuse prevention and reduce negative consequences of high-risk drinking. This report reviews findings from evaluation, interviews, and progress reports with participating universities and surrounding communities and other project stakeholders that participated in AMOD over a decade.
