The time has come to once again conduct the annual CORE Alcohol and Drug Survey. The CORE Survey was developed to measure usage rates and behaviors as they relate to alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs among college students at two- and four-year institutions.
The survey includes items about drugs and alcohol that deal with students’ attitudes, perceptions, and opinions about these substances, as well as items addressing actual substance use and consequences of use. Development of this survey was funded by the U.S. Department of Education.
It provides invaluable annual data which helps the UCA Health and Wellness Center determine where programming efforts should be concentrated. Also, compiling annual data allows us to follow trends and develop prevention programs for drug and alcohol use.
The 23-question survey should take approximately 15 minutes of class time to administer. All of the necessary items and instructions will be delivered directly to your department.
To show our appreciation, your name will be entered in a drawing to win one of the following items: $50 VISA gift card; $50 Wal-Mart gift card; or a $25 Starbucks gift card. One entry per class surveyed.
