About the Course

This article evaluates Western Washington University’s Neighborhoods Engaging with Students project—a comprehensive strategy to decrease disruptive off-campus parties by increasing student integration into and accountability to the neighborhoods in which they live. The intervention includes increasing the number of and publicity regarding “party emphasis patrols” and collaboration with the city to develop a regulatory mechanism to reduce repeat problematic party calls to the same address. The enforcement components are complemented by campus-based, late-night expansion programming, as well as neighborhood engagement strategies.

This course is based on the reading online article, Evaluating a Comprehensive Campus Community Prevention Intervention to Reduce Alcohol-Related Problems in a College Population created by Robert F. Saltz, Ph.D., and Mallie J.Paschall, Ph.D. et al in 2009.
