Abstract
College is the time that adolescents and young adults leave home to attend college. Most students and parents do not consider college as a high risk environment; however, the statistics are staggering. Each year 1,825 college students die from alcohol-related injuries; more than 690,000 are assaulted by another student who has been drinking; 97,000 students are victims of alcohol-related sexual assault; 599,000 are injured while under the influence; and approximately 150,000 develop an alcohol-related health problem. Furthermore, between 1.2 and 1.5 percent indicate that they have tried to commit suicide because of drinking or drug use. Few universities/colleges have harnessed the power of neuroscience and behavioral change to develop and implement a form of health promotion, an illness prevention approach such as the University of Vermont (UVM) Wellness Environment (WE).
