About the Course

To receive federal funds, colleges and universities are required to provide information to students about their alcohol policies as part of their alcohol-abuse prevention efforts. This study investigated whether and how the availability and completeness of alcohol-policy information on college Web sites changed between 2002 and 2007. The Web sites of the top 52 national universities listed in the 2002 rankings of U.S. News and World Report, which were reviewed for alcohol-policy information in 2002, were reviewed again in 2007 using the same Web search methodology.

This course is based on the reading online article, An Evaluation of College Online Alcohol-Policy Information created by Vivian B. Faden, Ph.D., Kristin Corey, and Marcy Baskin, B.A. in 2009.
