CORRECTING PERCEPTIONS

VCU students are healthier than you think,
because they have strategies.

Contrary to common misperceptions, most college students party safely. Survey after survey, year after year, at VCU and across the country, shows us that most college students chose to drink 0-4 drinks each time they socialized in the two weeks immediately before each study.

Thanks to research, we know most of you party safely, and we know you do it by choice, planning and strategies.

Our mission is to learn about your strategies -- and use them to continue correcting perceptions about healthy habits on our campus.

Our method is to provide information and incentive:

• NEW: Clicker Research for Health Educators
• See posters advertising VCU's healthy statistics.
• Read the research and VCU's part in this ongoing national study regarding healthy habits of college students.
• A VCU undergraduate class project turned some skeptics into believers.
• Browse tried-and-true strategies.
• Winning strategies from VCU students and how to share yours.
