consequences for
not complying? Are there
positive reinforcements
for compliance?

– Risk modifying effect of social capitol on heavy drinking and
primary/secondary effects (Weitzman and Chen, 2005)

– Students who drink and volunteer/participate in activities are
less likely than their peers who drink but don’t participate to
experience negative consequences (Wyatt 2010)
• Bringing Theory to Practice (AAC&U)
– Multisite study designed to assess the relationship between
civic engagement and student psychosocial wellbeing
• Personal and Social Responsibility

Environmental Management
• Integrated combination of programs, policies and

• Intellectually grounded in public health
• Emphasizes the broader physical, social, culturally
and institutional forces
Coalition Philosophy
• Focus efforts toward harm reduction
• Adopt a comprehensive approach incorporating both
individual and environmental strategies
• Shared Responsibility
– Responsibility for individual behavior is shared between the
individual and the environment
– All stakeholders within the environment need to share the
responsibility for the condition of the environment

Environmental Management

• Typically conducted in collaboration with surrounding
community
• Intellectually grounded in public health
• Emphasizes the broader physical, social, culturally
and institutional forces
• Community coalitions are not themselves
interventions but instead provide infrastructure to
support planning and services to address a specific
community concern. Those services and plans
should be based on the most current research and
local data.
