Subject: Re: College Student Alcohol Education Question
Mark, here at UMBC we have been using social norms marketing for the majority of
our campaigns addressing drugs, tobacco, alcohol use and even violence against
women issues. We use the CORE survey given each spring to form our messages. For
example: 4 out of 5 UMBC students drive sober.. we printed that message on
stadium cups to be given out at home basketball games. we have also put messages
like this in our school newspaper and sports schedules. One thing that is very
important when using this approach is to test market your messages in focus
groups of students. They will be able to offer a different view of your message
and it is imperative that hey see your message as credible. If you use survey
questions to form your message be careful not to change the question around to
much, students will e-mail or call you that were surveyed saying that they never
answered or saw that particular question on the survey. ( I have heard that has
happened at other Universities). The Social Norms Marketing Conference that is
held each year is a wonderful resource to learn more about this approach and I
highly recommend attending if you are planning on using this strategy. I can
also send you examples of what we have been doing here as well. Good luck!
