Hello! This is my first time to post something on the HEDIR.
Please read the below carefully.
This was forwarded to me from a prevention friend in Dallas, so I
forwarded it to people I thought might be able to watch/get others involved
or simply to do the follow up letter writing part.
Please honor their request about not pre-posting information on their
behalf. This is the first national/international advocacy effort that Faces
and Voices of Recovery (a new national advocacy/anti-stigma addiction
recovery group) is attempting to coordinate.
An excellent example of advocacy at work!

Dear Friends:
I have a question about using a social norming approach to alcohol
prevention programs on college campuses. At Chico State, an office in
charge of alcohol education on campus is promoting the "Did you know
students overestimate the number of drinks they have" approach to
prevention.
"The social norming campaign, designed to correct widespread student
over-perception of peers' drinking, will be expanded with additional support
from the CSU Chancellor's Office, a grant from the U.S. Department of
Education, and additional campus resources."
Is this approach effective, and what are the recent statistics? Thanks.

First, let me say that I'm not comfortable defending social norms
approaches as I have my own reservations about it. I would rather have
individuals like Michael Haines (social norms website) respond to your
observations. However, I feel that I have to point out that I haven't
seen much in the way of randomized trials involving college-based
prevention efforts. From what I've observed, the social norms approach
has more studies behind it than most prevention practices on campuses
existing today. Granted, as you pointed out, teasing out the variables
most responsible for declines in campus alcohol use when multiple
strategies are utilized is difficult. This is always a difficult task
for community based prevention efforts, I think.
While, the study that you cited is a stronger one empirically, it does
not reflect the social norms media campaigns used on most campuses. It
evaluates a social norms group intervention vs. a traditional
psychoeducational group. I'm not sure the results here are comparable to
how the social norms approach is typically employed on most campuses.
Perhaps, I should have said that many of my colleagues are encouraged
with the results of their social norm campaigns. I really just wanted
to point individuals to the social norms website and let them evaluate
the material themselves. That said I do feel your points are valid and
do need to be weighed when evaluating social norms or any other
prevention initiative.

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree. I've seen very little empirical
support,
particularly randomized trial data, for the social norm media campaign
approach for influencing alcohol and drug use on college campuses. In
fact,
the process data documenting who is receiving and believing these
messages
among students on campus, and the impact of these communications on
student
social norms has rarely been documented in a systematic manner. Lastly,
these approaches are often employed with a host of other environmental
strategies such as policy and enforcement alterations, making it rather
tricky to identify the effects of the social norm messages alone. If
your
interested in study which suggests the potential limitations of one type
of
a social norm program for influencing binge drinking among first year
residential college students, please see the following:

Quick question - I am at the beginning stages of working with a small rural
school system to design school health education for K-6th grade. I am new
in the area of school health and need your assistance. I am wanting to
develop a survey to determine what content they are currently teaching, the
scope and sequence that is taught and their comfort level in teaching
health content. I will then use the data to plan in-services, workshops,
etc. Keeping in mind that most of the early grades teachers have little if
any background in health (in Georgia), does anyone have a survey they have
designed or methods for gathering this type of information? Any thoughts
would help - thank you!

I wanted to weigh in on the social norms discussion. My concern when I
hear about these programs on college campuses is the source of funding,
which too often is the alcohol industry. It doesn't make sense for that
industry to support these programs if they're effective. Social norming and
responsible use messages certainly fit the alcohol industry better than an
abstinence message. After all, these are potential lifetime customers
they're talking to, and about.
Just how committed is the alcohol industry to reducing underage and
hazardous drinking? Anheuser-Busch, the industry leader in social norms
marketing, is spending about $15 million dollars annually getting their
prevention programs out there. Keep in mind that first and foremost, these
are businesses whose primary objective is to maximize profits. It's
estimated that the alcohol industry generates profits in excess of $115
billion annually, so a few million dedicated to prevention programs, or one
hundredth of one percent of their annual profits, won't exactly break the
books. In fact, it is a small price to pay for what is becoming known as
"innocence by association."
In an article on hazardous drinking in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol,
it is estimated that binge drinking (5 drinks or more per day) by 16 to
25-year-olds accounts for over half of the alcohol industry's profits, and
76% of the beer industry's profits. 76% of profits? Wow. If I were in
this business I certainly wouldn't want to discourage this type of
drinking. Yet, this is exactly the pattern of alcohol consumption now
identified on college campuses as a national health crisis. This is
exactly the pattern of drinking that social norms programs are designed to
eliminate. Is this a conflict of interest? I may not have an MBA, but I'm
wondering what business really wants to mess around with the source of 76%
of it's profits.
A recent report by the American Medical Association says, "Hazardous
drinking ... by 16 to 25-year-olds constitutes a critical part of the
alcohol market, particularly for brewers." This is corroborated by other
studies that estimate that underage drinkers account for approximately 10%
of the alcohol market and 35% of wine cooler sales representing not just
millions, but billions of dollars of profit for the alcohol industry.
Binge drinking rates on college campuses have remained unchanged since 1993
even though there are more substance free residence halls, fewer students
in sororities and fraternities (where binge drinking rates have been
historically higher), a 16.4 percent increase in students who said they
didn't drink at all, and more reported exposure to alcohol awareness
education. Get this right, more exposure to alcohol awareness education
but no changes in the binge drinking rates.
Despite the apparent contradiction, social norms marketing programs
sponsored by the brewer's and distiller's organizations are gaining in
popularity. Initial evaluations of the effectiveness, or lack of
effectiveness, of these programs explain why the alcohol industry does not
find them a threat. Social norms programs appear to have little to no
effect on the heaviest drinkers, suggesting protection of profits prevails
over apparent humanitarianism.
Social norms programs aren't about reducing hazardous drinking among 16 to
25-year olds, at least not to the alcohol industry. These programs are
about normalizing drinking. Peter Cressy, the CEO of the Distilled Spirits
Council of the United States (DISCUS), says that they are working to,
"...ensure cultural acceptance of alcohol beverages by 'normalizing' them
in the minds of consumers as a healthy part of a normal lifestyle." He
concludes that cultural acceptance is key to boosting industry sales. And
it is all about boosting industry sales.
Still don't believe that there is an ulterior motive behind these programs?
Go to the Beer Institute's web page and read it for yourself. The alcohol
industry is deliberately supporting these types of educational programs in
order to weaken efforts or distract efforts to implement (effective)
environmental strategies. These drinking education programs are like a
smokescreen. Real prevention would significantly hurt their bottom line.
Social norms programs will not, and they know it.
I guess what I'm saying is Think before you spend. Program responsibly.
Know when to say when.
For excellent ideas on negotiating with the alcohol industry if you find
you must accept their funding, read the American Medical Association's
policy briefing paper entitled "Partner or Foe? The Alcohol Industry,
Youth Alcohol Problems, and Alcohol Policy Strategies," available by
calling 312-464-4618.
