Supporting College Students: A Focus on Substance Use Policy Violators and Mandated Interventions The Higher Education Center for Alcohol and Drug Misuse Prevention and Recovery (HECAOD) will also be hosting the upcoming webinar, Supporting College Students: A Focus on Substance Use Policy Violators and Mandated Interventions on November 29, 2023, from 3:30pm-4:30pm EST. Every year, college campuses report substance use policy violations as the most frequent reason students receive disciplinary referrals and, thus, are mandated to programming. Studies show that students who have been found in violation of their institution's substance use policies often report heavier use of alcohol and drugs and experience more complications from it, compared to their non-mandated peers. This presentation includes information on substance use behaviors and consequences of college student policy violators, findings from latest research, and implications to help address this issue in the future.
