As shown, the percentage of students surveyed who have never used alcohol increased between 2020 and 2022. Based on speculation, we may consider this is due, in part, to the Covid-19 pandemic impacting factors such as an increased number of students who remained at home/with family or guardians during this time or shifts in the numbers of social gatherings/drinking opportunities during the pandemic. The percentage of students who have never consumed cannabis also increased and the percentage of students who reported drinking alcohol within the last 30 days decreased. However, the percentage of students who reported consuming five or more drinks in a sitting has increased since the 2020 survey. Again, we might speculate that the Covid-19 pandemic has impacted (recently increased) gatherings and the exposure to alcohol. Additionally, much has been written and explored regarding the impact on coping and coping strategies during the pandemic time. Substance use, particularly high-risk substance use, may be increased due to the stress and need for coping mechanisms during the pandemic. The percentage of students who reported using cannabis in the past 30 days has remained relatively stable.

It should be noted that the state of Oregon faces significant challenges related to drug and alcohol use among its population (both adults and youth). Information regarding substance use disorders in Oregon from the Oregon Recovers website (www.oregonrecovers.org) included the following data:

• • Oregon ranks 50^th in the nation in providing access to addiction treatment₁
  • Oregon has the 2^nd highest untreated addiction rate in the country₁
  • On average, 6 Oregonians die each day to due to alcohol and 1-2 each day to drug overdose₁
  • Nearly 1 in 10 of all Oregonians ages 12 and older – and 1 in 5 young Oregonian adults ages 18-25 – are estimated to have a substance use disorder₂

AOD-related Employee Data:

Campus level data on drug and alcohol consumption and substance use disorders among employees is not available. However, it is important to acknowledge, as states above, that Oregon has significant challenges with substance use disorder among its adolescent and adult population (12 and older). A Mental Health and Addiction Certification Board of Oregon (MHACBO) highlight summarizing the 2021 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) data report painted a stark picture of the AOD-related challenges facing our state:  

1. Oregon ranked 1^st in the nation for illicit drug use disorder (percent of population of teens and adults with past year illicit drug use disorder)
2. Oregon ranked 5^th in the nation for alcohol use disorder
3. Oregon ranked 50^th in the nation for needing but not receiving treatment for substance use disorders
4. Oregon ranked 1^st in the nation for methamphetamine use in the past year
5. Oregon ranked 1^st in the nation for Rx opioid misuse in the past year

AOD-related Critical Incidents Data:

Programs & Interventions

The following includes programming and interventions to support alcohol and drug prevention for students on campus.

1. Individual Level Programs and Interventions

1. 1. IMPACT

 

Program: IMPACT
Description: IMPACT is an evidenced-based program designed to engage students in meaningful discussion about alcohol and cannabis/marijuana use.IMPACT was developed utilizing components of the Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention for College Students (BASICS) and Alcohol Skills Training Program (ASTP). Students often conform to patterns of alcohol use they see as acceptable, while holding false beliefs about alcohol’s effects or actual alcohol-use norms. Impact is designed to support students in making better decisions about using alcohol and/or cannabis. Impact educational programming is provided by Student Health Services with coordination support from Student Conduct and Community Standards and University Housing and Dining Services. IMPACT services are available to all OSU students regardless of campus location.

Referrals to the Impact program come from multiple sources, including both on- and off-campus agencies. On-campus students are typically referred from University Housing and Dining Services or the Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards. Off-campus students are referred from Corvallis Municipal Court, Benton County Circuit Court, and occasionally other municipal courts from around the state. Students are most oftenreferred to the program due to an alcohol or cannabis-related violation. The courts recognize IMPACT as a diversion program for eligible Oregon State students. Upon completion of the IMPACT program, students have a foundational understanding of

1. 1. 1. Alcohol/Cannabis and the effects of each on the body,
      2. Myths and realities associated with substance induced effects, and
      3. Skills to limit the negative ramifications of underage and excessive alcohol use or other substance use.

Overall, the IMPACT program is guided by the mission of Oregon State University and is committed to stimulating a lasting attitude of inquiry, openness, and social responsibility. IMPACT is periodically revised to reflect student needs and available resources.

1. 2. Substance Use Counseling

Substance use counseling is available on the Corvallis campus through Student Health Services (SHS) to students who have paid the health fee. Counseling sessions are confidential and aimed to provide support to students with individual challenges related to substance use and recovery. Services are designated to help students meet their goals related to substance use education, harm reduction, and recovery.

1. 3. Referral Programs to Off-Campus Treatment Providers for Students

Student Health Services and Counseling and Psychological Services utilize trained individuals who are available to assist students requiring treatment referral.

1. 4. Individual Assessment for Employees

The Beyond Benefits program for employees has counselors who meet one-on-one with employees to provide counseling for many areas including alcohol or drug use. Employees initiate contact on their own or BeyondBenefits may be suggested as a result of a sanction or disciplinary action. Employees can identify drug and alcohol abuse as a presenting concern, or the counselor may determine through the assessment process that a substance abuse issue exists. The counselor can make recommendations for referral to a treatment provider or other community resource for more long-term support.

1. 5. Referral Programs to Off-Campus Treatment Providers for Employees

As stated above, Beyond Benefits counselors may make referrals to treatment centers or other more long-term support options based on employee needs.

2. Institutional-level Programs and Interventions

1. 1. Online programs

Since fall 2014, the university requires all incoming first-year students to complete online alcohol prevention education. During most of the academic year 2020-2021 – this module was facilitated by EVERFI as AlcoholEdu.AlcoholEdu is a two-part course that focuses on the impact alcohol has on students’ mind and body, whileempowering students to make well-informed decisions about alcohol through a harm-reduction approach. Beginning in Spring 2021 – OSU transitioned to using Get Inclusive as a platform, which hosts the modules of Voices for Change – Alcohol and Consent. This program, like AlcoholEdu, provides education on the impact of alcohol and how to navigate consent through an informed perspective. We believe the implementation of online alcohol prevention education on OSU’s campus continues to help us:

• • Decrease high-risk drinking during critical times, especially the first 8 weeks of the fall term.
  • Increase basic knowledge of alcohol.
  • Decrease alcohol-related disruptions in residence halls.
  • Change culture and expectations around alcohol use.

Program: Required Online Training – Voices of Change: Alcohol and Consent (formerly AlcoholEdu)
Description: All first-year degree-seeking students (whether based in Corvallis, Bend, Newport, or La Grande) are required to complete the online program, Voices of Change – Alcohol and Consent. This program helps foster an environment that prevents high-risk alcohol use and subsequent negative academic and personal outcomes. Voices of Change – Alcohol and Consent is one of many methods that attempts to correct college myths and norms, as well as provide students with relevant policies and resources prior to matriculation.

1. 2. Educational Workshops

Educational workshops are the cornerstone of early intervention practices at Oregon State University. Multiple departments and offices engage in workshop activities that are instrumental in reducing the burden of excessive and underage alcohol and substance use. Dam Safe (formerly “Up2u”) consists of education-based prevention efforts focusing on the reduction of high-risk alcohol use and prevention and reduction of cannabis use. Dam Safe is a voluntary program, and presentations are available upon request by students, faculty, staff, coaches, residence halls and student organizations. Students can also meet with Dam Safe staff to ask questions or receive more information.

Program: DAM SAFE
Description: DAM SAFE is a program designed for OSU students to engage in focused and meaningful discussion about alcohol and/or cannabis.  Through a combination of cognitive behavior skills training, motivational enhancement and norms clarification, the workshops encourage students to reflect on their own substance-use behaviors, while re-establishing positive social norms. Additionally, we are dedicated to providing students with the education and skills to engage in positive behaviors.

1. 4. Joan and Tom Skoro Collegiate Recovery Community

The Joan and Tom Skoro Collegiate Recovery Community (CRC) seeks to engage and support Corvallis campus students in or seeking recovery from substance use and those who are practicing harm reduction from substance use or contemplating recovery from substance use. The community is rooted in the belief that no student should feel alone and that every student should receive the support they need. The CRC is open to anyone who is looking for support with substance use harm reduction and recovery. Additionally, Dixon Lodge is a dedicated recovery living facility with scholarships available to Corvallis campus students.

Program: Collegiate Recovery Community (CRC) Services
Description: The CRC offers community through substance-free recreational events and activities, skill-building and educational programs. Multiple weekly meetings focusing on recovery and harm reduction are available to the OSU community. The CRC encourages students to meet peers in recovery who can be a source of understanding and support.

The CRC opened its doors in fall of 2013 to offer support for students in recovery from drug or alcohol use. Before its creation, there was a need for recovery support on the OSU campus. In addition to the CRC, OSU opened the Recovery Living Community (RLC) in the fall of 2016. The RLC is located in Dixon Lodge and is Oregon StateUniversity’s first building dedicated to collegiate recovery support. Dixon Lodge is now home to both the CRC and RLC. Students participating in either the CRC or RLC are offered various events and programs including weekly check-in meetings, recovery birthday parties, team-building opportunities, movie nights and sober tailgating, to name a few. Dixon Lodge also offers meeting space for a variety of recovery meetings, which are open to the community when at least one CRC member or OSU community member is present.

Part of the mission of the CRC is to provide culturally specific and population specific support groups. Because ofthis the CRC offers groups based in 12-steps, mindfulness and yoga, and culturally specific recovery supportmeetings to the Indigenous population and college student populations. In 2020-2022, the CRC offered an averageof seven support group meetings per week, many in an online or hybrid format due to the pandemic, for ~700+ peer recovery support groups in this two-year period. Attendance typically averages 5-15 people per group meeting. In-person and hybrid recovery support meetings remain available to the OSU community.

1. 5. Social Norms Campaign

The Social Norms Campaign was designed to inform students about the truly reported AOD consumption and behaviors among their peers. Providing access to accurate information has been shown to be supportive in shifting student perceptions and therefore leading to healthier behaviors. 

Program: Social Norms Campaign
Description: The Social Norms Clarification Campaign is a collaborative effort with OSU’s Intercollegiate Athletics Department.  The aim of the campaign is to dismantle college student’s beliefs to align with the reality of the majority of their peer’s consumption behaviors.  The campaign utilizes OSU specific data and student athletes in order to create relevant and compelling messages.

1. 6. Higher Awareness Campaign and Survey Administration

The Higher Awareness Campaign provided an opportunity to connect with students across campus and provide accurate information highlighting the health impacts of cannabis consumption, local laws related to cannabis and access to additional information and resources.  

Program: Higher Awareness Campaign
Description: The Higher Awareness Campaign is a collaboration between the local health department, local law enforcement and the AOD Prevention Unit at OSU.  This print media campaign was designed to equip students with general knowledge regarding health effects related to cannabis, local laws, and resources if more assistance is desired.

The higher awareness survey provided information regarding students’ cannabis use and general knowledge of local laws. Additionally, students were asked who they identified as trustworthy sources for cannabis information and the survey found that 62% of students identified a health agency (Student Health Services, CDC, Oregon Health Authority, or local Health Department) as their most trusted source. Second on the list at 16% was a primary care provider and third with 11% was dispensary staff/bud tender.

1. 7. One Pill Can Kill Education and Survey Administration

The AOD prevention team developed an educational workshop on prescription pill misuse and opioid consumption to provide to students across campus as part of the Dam Safe programming. In addition, survey administration was provided to a group of Center for Fraternity and Sorority Life (CFSL) students during the Spring drug take back day to determine CFSL students’ knowledge of fentanyl as well as the impacts of opioid drug overdose.

Program:  One Pill Can Kill Survey Administration
Description: In an effort to lead the path toward health equity and provide harm reduction strategies with college students that are members of fraternity and sorority life, a brief assessment was implemented to determine the interest in enhanced opioid and overdose recovery education on campus.

Survey data collection noted that 32% of students surveyed have experienced loved ones impacted by overdose and only 16% stated that they felt “knowledgeable” regarding fentanyl. The majority of the students surveyed reported that they would be interested in having naloxone training and accessible within locations on campus because they have loved ones that experienced opioid-related overdoses.

 

Community and Environmental-level Programs and Interventions

OSU Program Council & Late Night Programs (substance-free social options)

Throughout the academic year, OSU provides students with substance-free social options. The OSU Program Council through Student Experiences & Engagement, provides an array of diverse high-quality events to engage students and enhance student life. These programs often happen in collaboration with departments such as Alcohol & Other Drug Prevention, Joan and Tom Skoro Collegiate Recovery Community, University Housing and Dining Residential Life, and the Center for Fraternity and Sorority Life. Programs include a variety of engaging events such as AMC Movie Nights, Dam Jam, After Dark Halloween, Welcome Week events, Talent Shows, Drag Bingo, and much more.

Medical Amnesty Law

In order to remove barriers and reduce the number of alcohol poisoning-related deaths, Oregon State University put forth great effort to help pass the Medical Amnesty Law. Since January 1, 2015, this law protects minors in the state of Oregon from being charged with underage possession when calling 911 forsomeone they think has alcohol poisoning. This law also applies to any minor in need of medical attention. In addition, if a minor makes the call to help a friend, they are also protected under this law.

Partnership Advisory Group – Alcohol and Drug Prevention

The Partnership Advisory Group – Alcohol and Drug Prevention is led by Benton County and was created to ensure strategic and coordinated campus and community-wide efforts related to alcohol and drug prevention and the broad use of evidence-informed best practices. The Advisory Group employs a multi-unit stakeholder approach to reach across the campus and within the community. The group’s charge is to:

Develop specific goals, with implementation timelines and measures of success, to realize a vision of an OSU culture characterized by:

1. 176. Safe and healthy attitudes, decision-making, and behaviors related to alcohol and other drugs

Oregon Prevention Coalition

Oregon State University is a founding member of the Oregon Prevention Coalition. With support from the Oregon Health Authority and leadership from the University of Oregon, the Oregon Prevention Coalition was formed in the summer of 2020. The coalition has created space to build relationships, receive training, and garner statewide collaboration regarding alcohol and other drug prevention, intervention, and recovery.

The mission of the Oregon Prevention Coalition is to support healthy campus communities through evidence-based prevention and intervention, education, destigmatizing recovery, increased access to services, and collaboration across the state. The Oregon Prevention Coalition envisions and Oregon in which all college students have access to the necessary resources to develop a healthy relationship with substance use and their mental health.

Biennial Goals and Achievements

Note: Following is an assessment of the 2020 Biennial recommendations. The Covid-19 pandemic began in March 2020 and the majority of OSU was functioning remotely through Summer 2021, with periods of increased restrictions throughout 2021 and into 2022. The vision and impact to AOD-related risk during this time period was extremely unclear.

Central Goal

Increase efforts to address high-risk consumption in all student populations and address consumption issues related to coping mechanisms that occurred as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

1. Individual Strategies

1. 1. IMPACT program shifted to a 1:1 facilitation and education model, in order to support remote and hybrid access. Sessions were conducted online in zoom environment.

2. Institutional Strategies

1. 1. Programming at the Collegiate Recovery Community was shifted to primarily online/hybrid offerings (with virtual recovery support meetings provided).  Continued emphasis on support and promotion of the CRC.
   2. Increased education was developed and offered regarding prescription pill misuse and offerings for prescription drug take-back events within the Corvallis community.

3. Community/Environmental Strategies

1. 1. Oregon Prevention Coalition was founded and continues to grow. This collaborative group offers cross institution coordinator of prevention education/training, recovery education/training, increased access to services, and idea generation and sharing.
   2. Maintained collaboration with Benton County and Corvallis Police Department on awareness and educational opportunities for students.
   3. Conducted awareness and education campaigns addressing the risks and impacts of prescription medication abuse

Other Accomplishments during 2020-2022:

4. Spring 2020 – SHS successfully moved to remote telehealth offering for Substance Use Counseling services as well as Alcohol and Other Drug IMPACT 1:1 education. These remote services offered a supportive transition to remote services during the pandemic. Since then, students now have access to both remote and in-person substance use counseling and AOD IMPACT education. 
5. Spring 2020 – AOD Dam Safe prevention education workshops and programming shifted to remote offerings. Partnering with CFSL, Athletics, Res Life and other groups on campus – workshops were able to continue via zoom. Since then, students continue to have access to both remote and in-person options for Dam Safe educational workshops and programming.

Key Challenges during 2020-2022:

1. 1. The shift to remote offerings in the pandemic, although a supportive pivot overall, meant that some students had moved out of state or even out of the country and were unable to access some health services such as substance use counseling, mental health counseling, etc. Student Health Services and Counseling and Psychological Services staff did their best to offering support to those students outside of service areas.
   2. Staff turnover during the pandemic has meant challenges in maintaining programmatic offerings as well as challenges in monitoring and analyzing data related to our AOD programming, survey data collection, and AOD-related incidents.
   3. Decreased participation rates for survey collection such as NCHA assessment has meant reduced responses and increased limitations of the survey data.

Goals for the Next Biennium (2022-2024)

1. Central Goal

Increase efforts to address high-risk AOD consumption in all student populations and address AOD consumption issues related to coping mechanisms that occurred as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

2. Individual Strategies (Goals for 2024 Biennium)

1. 1. Continued to expand the consistent use of IMPACT for all student alcohol and cannabis violations and citations.
   2. Expand access to clinical services related to substance use disorders.
   3. Identify the possibility for collection/documentation methods regarding employee AOD violationsand sanctions.

3. Institutional Strategies (Goals for 2024 Biennium)

1. 1. Continue to promote and support the growth of the Collegiate Recovery Community.
   2. Coordinate with Benton County Health Department and OSU departments including UHDS Res Life, CFSL, Dean of Students, etc. to provide Naloxone training/education and have naloxone accessible on campus for overdoes crisis management.
   3. Build an Annual and Biennial workgroup to expand collaboration on AOD prevention efforts and ongoing reviews.
   4. Launch a comprehensive post-COVID AOD social marketing campaign.
   5. Conduct an institutional review of all campus units serving alcohol on a periodic basis.

4. Community/Environmental Strategies (Goals for 2024 Biennium)

1. 1. Maintain collaboration with Benton County and Corvallis Police Department on awareness and educational opportunities for students.
   2. Conduct awareness and/or education campaigns regarding new substance use laws in Oregon
   3. Conduct awareness and education campaigns to address the risks and impacts of prescription medication abuse
   4. Continue cross institution coordination of prevention efforts through participation in the Oregon Prevention Coalition on Substance Use and Abuse and within the national network of coalitions through The Higher Education Center for Alcohol and Drug Misuse Prevention and Recovery

Conclusion

Oregon State University is committed to the process of continuous improvement. We look forward to the opportunity to focus on our goals and recommendations for the next biennium. These goals will form the basis for continued efforts across all OSU campuses,

Corvallis, Hatfield Marine Science Center, Cascades, Portland and La Grande, and additional strategic planning.
