In partnership with the Hazing Prevention Network and Penn State’s Piazza Center, we developed a Hazing Prevention Self-Assessment guide for campuses, to assist schools in creating evidence-informed hazing prevention efforts. Request a free PDF of the guide here!
The assessment is based on the Gordie Center's APPLE Training Institute Guiding Principles that detail elements of a comprehensive, evidence-informed, substance misuse prevention program for college athletics.
Adapted for substance misuse and hazing prevention in all student organizations, this model is built on the belief that all campus members must be enfranchised and empowered to help create a health-enhancing environment where hazing and substance misuse are not tolerated. The formal components – policies, regulations, education, accountability procedures, and consequences of infractions – are the necessary foundation on which to build prevention efforts. But these efforts can only be successful if the informal components – recruitment messages, role models, and unwritten expectations – reflect and extend the message that preventing substance misuse and hazing is a campus priority and is everyone’s concern.
There are six distinct areas where campuses can address hazing and substance misuse:
- Expectations and Attitudes
- Intake/Recruitment Practices
- Education Programs
- Policies and Procedures
- Accountability
- Referral and Counseling
We offer a webinar that walks through the guide -- you can watch the webinar here.
