evaluating a comprehensive Campus Community prevention intervention to reduce alcohol related problems in a college population
Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs, 2009Co-Authors: Robert F Saltz, Lara R Welker, Mallie J Paschall, Maggie Feeney, Patricia M FabianoAbstract:OBJECTIVE: This article evaluates Western Washington University's Neighborhoods Engaging with Students project-a comprehensive strategy to decrease disruptive off-Campus parties by increasing student integration into and accountability to the neighborhoods in which they live. The intervention includes increasing the number of and publicity regarding "party emphasis patrols" and collaboration with the city to develop a regulatory mechanism to reduce repeat problematic party calls to the same address. The enforcement components are complemented by Campus-based, late-night expansion programming, as well as neighborhood engagement strategies including an educational Web site designed to increase students' knowledge of and skills in living safely and legally in the Community, service-learning projects in the Campus-contiguous neighborhoods, and a neighborhood-based conflict-resolution program. METHOD: The evaluation comprised data from three public universities in Washington. In addition to the Western Washington University site, a second Campus created an opportunity for a "natural experiment" because it adopted a very similar intervention in the same time frame, creating two intervention sites and one comparison site. Annual, Web-based student surveys in 2005 and 2006 included measures of alcohol consumption, alcohol-related problems, and student perception of alcohol control and prevention activities. RESULTS: Although statistical power with three Campuses was limited, results using hierarchical linear modeling showed that the prevalence of heavy episodic drinking was significantly lower at the intervention schools (odds ratio = 0.73; N = 6,150 students). CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that alcohol control measures can be effective in reducing problematic drinking in college settings. These findings strongly support conducting a replication with greater power and a more rigorous design. Language: en

Campus Community partnerships the terms of engagement
Journal of Social Issues, 2002Co-Authors: Robert G Bringle, Julie A HatcherAbstract:The emergence of service-learning in higher education and the renewed emphasis on Community involvement presents colleges and universities with opportunities to develop Campus-Community partnerships for the common good. These partnerships can leverage both Campus and Community resources to address critical issues in local communities. Campus-Community partnerships are a series of interpersonal relationships between (a) Campus administrators, faculty, staff, and students and (b) Community leaders, agency personnel, and members of communities. The phases of relationships (i.e., initiation, development, maintenance, dissolution) and the dynamics of relationships (i.e., exchanges, equity, distribution of power) are explored to provide service-learning instructors and Campus personnel with a clearer understanding of how to develop healthy Campus-Community partnerships.

college Campus Community readiness to address intimate partner violence among lgbtq young adults a conceptual and empirical examination
American Journal of Community Psychology, 2016Co-Authors: Katie M Edwards, Heather Littleton, Kateryna M Sylaska, Annie L Crossman, Meghan CraigAbstract:This paper provides an overview of a conceptual model that integrates theories of social ecology, minority stress, and Community readiness to better understand risk for and outcomes of intimate partner violence (IPV) among LGBTQ+ college students. Additionally, online survey data was collected from a sample of 202 LGBTQ+ students enrolled in 119 colleges across the United States to provide preliminary data on some aspects of the proposed model. Results suggested that students generally thought their Campuses were low in readiness to address IPV; that is, students felt that their Campuses could do more to address IPV and provide IPV services specific to LGBTQ+ college students. Perceptions of greater Campus readiness to address IPV among LGBTQ+ college students was significantly and positively related to a more favorable LGBTQ+ Campus climate and a greater sense of Campus Community. Additionally, IPV victims were more likely to perceive higher levels of Campus Community readiness than non-IPV victims. There was no association between IPV perpetration and perceptions of Campus Community readiness. Greater sense of Community was marginally and inversely related to IPV victimization and perpetration. Sense of Community and LGBTQ+ Campus climate also varied to some extent as a function of region of the country and type of institution. Implications for further development and refinement of the conceptual model, as well as future research applying this model to better understand IPV among sexual minority students are discussed.

Campus Community readiness to engage measure its utility for Campus violence prevention initiatives preliminary psychometrics
Violence and gender, 2015Co-Authors: Katie M Edwards, Mary M Moynihan, Kara Anne Rodenhizerstampfli, Jennifer M Demers, Victoria L BanyardAbstract:Abstract The researchers present preliminary psychometric information on a recently developed measure—the Campus Community Readiness to Engage Measure (CCREM)—which was developed as a tool for Campuses to determine their readiness to address sexual assault (SA) and relationship abuse (RA). Participants were 353 Community leaders and administrators at 131 colleges and universities across New England. Factor analytic results demonstrated that the CCREM had three factors for both SA and RA: denial (the Campus Community is unwilling to acknowledge that SA and RA are issues for the Community), initiation (the Campus Community is beginning to create efforts to address SA and RA and some Community members are involved), and sustainability (the Campus has high levels of engagement from Community members and long-standing efforts to address SA and RA). Whereas there was fair to moderate agreement among raters within the same Community on the sustainability and initiation subscales, there was poor to fair agreement...
