Why is an environmental approach needed?

Question:

Why is an environmental approach needed?

Answer:

  • In the presence of so many messages and opportunities that promote problematic drinking, students need help making healthy decisions about their alcohol use.
  • The environment is polluted with these messages. That is why focusing on individuals with awareness and education activities alone is fighting an uphill battle. These strategies are part of a good approach, but they’re not going to do the job alone. These measures are necessary but by themselves insufficient.
