CE Course Description
Prevention directed at the environment generally relies on public policies (e.g., laws,
rules, regulations) and other community-level interventions both to limit access to
alcohol and to alter the culture and contexts within which decisions about alcohol use
are made. This course describes how environmental management can change campus and
community conditions in order to reduce the opportunities for illegal and dangerous
alcohol use among students.
