TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - Reflections on how a university binge drinking prevention initiative supports alcohol screening, brief intervention, and referral for student alcohol use JO - Yale journal of biology and medicine A1 - Robertson-Boersma, Danielle A1 - Butt, Peter A1 - Dell, Colleen Anne SP - 339 EP - 346 VL - 88 IS - 3 N2 - What's Your Cap: Know When to Put a Lid on Drinking (WYC) is a student-led and research-based binge-drinking prevention campaign at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada. It was formed to encourage a culture of alcohol moderation on the university campus through peer-to-peer engagement that emphasizes promotional items and activities of interest to students. Since its development in 2011, WYC has been guided by a logic model that promotes: 1) perceived and actual student drinking norms on campus; 2) benefits of a student-led initiative; and 3) merits of working with community partners. With the release of a clinical guide in Canada for alcohol screening, brief intervention, and referral (SBIR) in 2013, WYC was prompted to consider whether it is a form of population-based SBIR. SBIR is commonly undertaken in the substance use field by health care practitioners, and this paper shares the potential for a student-based SBIR modification on a university campus.
