Tier I: Evidence of Effectiveness Among College Students: Examples include combining cognitive-behavioral skills with norms clarification and motivational enhancement, brief motivational enhancement, challenging alcohol expectancies.
Tier II: Evidence of Success with General Populations that Could be Applied to College Environments: Examples include increased publicity, implementation and enforcement of laws/policies, restrictions on alcohol outlet density, increased prices and taxes on alcohol, responsible beverage service and campus/community coalitions.
Tier III: Evidence of Logical and Theoretical Promise, but Require More Comprehensive Evaluation: An example is adopting campus-based policies to reduce high-risk alcohol use.
Tier IV: Evidence of Ineffectiveness: Examples include information knowledge-based or value clarification when used alone and providing BAC feedback when used alone. |
