This report provides a comparative analysis of the current state of campus alcohol policies relative to best practice using data from 12 Atlantic Canadian Universities. The objective of the report is to provide comprehensive and evidence-based alcohol policy recommendations that campus decision-makers can use to strengthen their existing alcohol policies and aim to reduce heavy drinking and related harms among their students.
A Campaign Designed with Students for Students. By using the Your Drink. Your Call. campaign materials, post-secondary institutions can: - Increase student awareness of Canada’s Guidance on Alcohol and Health (CGAH) - Use a supportive approach to educate students on the harms and costs associated with alcohol consumption - Empower students to make informed decisions about their alcohol use The campaign is free to use, can be adapted to specific student populations, and uses a blend of digital and physical assets. By engaging through peers’ lived experiences, students can gain a greater awareness and understanding of their relationship with alcohol.
CCSA proudly led the initiative to update Canada’s Low-Risk Alcohol Drinking Guidelines (LRDGs). The project, funded by Health Canada, began in July 2020. Canada’s Guidance on Alcohol and Health provides evidence-based advice on alcohol to support people in making informed decisions about their health.
