I requested several reports from JMU under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act. One of the reports was the JMU American College Health Association National College Health Assessment II, Spring 2009.
"The ACHA-National College Health Assessment II (ACHA-NCHA II) is a national
research survey organized by the American College Health Association (ACHA) to
assist college health service providers, health educators, counselors, and administrators
in collecting data about their students' habits, behaviors, and perceptions on the most
prevalent health topics.
ACHA initiated the original ACHA-NCHA in 2000 and the instrument was used
nation wide through the spring 2008 data collection period. The ACHA-NCHA now
provides the largest known comprehensive data set on the health of college students,
providing the college health and higher education fields with a vast spectrum of
information on student health......
This Executive Summary highlights results of the ACHA-NCHA II Spring 2009 survey for James Madison University consisting of 461 respondents. The overall response proportion was 15.5%"
Some Highlights:
2.6 % of college students reported driving after having 5 or more drinks in the last 30 days.*
22.5 % of college students reported driving after having any alcohol in the last 30 days
*********************
The data demonstrates that binge drinking and negative consequences from drinking continue to be a problem at JMU.
JMU Negative Alcohol Culture blog is looking at what can JMU do to change the culture at JMU. The literature on college alcohol issues and JMU reports, data and policies are reviewed and an invitation is issued to JMU to establish an Independent Alcohol Commission to examine JMU policies and change them in ways that will have a real impact on the JMU Negative Alcohol Culture.
