University of Michigan
UM Alcohol and Other Drug Prevention Program (UMAODPP)

The University recognizes that the use of alcohol and other drugs can significantly interfere with fulfilling the mission of the University and pose a serious threat to the health and well-being of the members of this community.

Current prevention efforts are coordinated by UMAODPP, which is a comprehensive and student-centered program. Staff use evidence-based strategic interventions, collaboration, innovation and the incorporation of the wellness dimensions to reduce the harmful consequences of alcohol and other drug use.

The goal of current prevention efforts is to change the campus culture by intervening in the environmental factors that explicitly or implicitly promote and/or encourage use and misuse.

To learn more about campus efforts to address alcohol use, see the report "UM Alcohol and Other Drug Prevention Program: An Evidence-Based Approach" (PDF), dated September 2006.

A2C3 (Ann Arbor Campus Community Conversations) brings together members of the UM campus and Ann Arbor community to reduce harm from excessive alcohol use.

BASICS (Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention for College Students) is a two-session alcohol assessment and education program offered free to all University of Michigan students who want to explore their alcohol use.
