title: A survey of 100 community colleges on student substance use, programming, and collaborations.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The objective was to survey community college personnel about student substance use, and infrastructure (staff and funding), programs, and collaborations dedicated to substance use prevention.
  
  
  METHODS
  The sample included 100 administrators, faculty, and health services staff at 100 community colleges.
  
  
  METHODS
  Participants completed a Web-based survey.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Participants reported a number of alcohol and other drug (AOD) related concerns. Despite limited staff and funding dedicated to AOD, institutions are implementing a number of programs, although many are not implementing some of the programs popular at traditional 4-year colleges. They are also collaborating with a number of on- and off-campus groups. The availability of staff and funding dedicated to AOD, and the presence of residence halls, is associated with health programming and substance abuse collaborations.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Results suggest that there is a need for increased research to understand the most effective AOD prevention strategies for community colleges.
