Speak Up/Speak Out
Many students experience numerous secondary outcomes as a result of peer drinking behaviors, including interruptions to studying, lost sleep, and a messy apartment. Unfortunately, few students feel they can do anything that will make things better. While most students indicate they are tired of secondary outcomes resulting from their peers' alcohol consumption, only a few students will speak to their peers about this issue. This program will help empower students to make a difference by showing other ways they can deal with secondary negative outcomes related to alcohol abuse.
