Abstract: This updated resource considers the range of substance misuse and mental health issues many of today's young adults have as they enter colleges and universities or may develop during their college years. The kit provides college and university prevention practitioners, health center staff, and administrators with useful summaries of current knowledge, links, and directions that will make it easier to locate materials relevant to prevention efforts targeting the college population. Sections of the resource kit address alcohol use, misuse, and underage drinking; alcohol access, availability, and norms; illicit drug use and nonmedical use of medications; tobacco use; and mental health issues.
