“…Curriculum Infusion is currently implemented by other colleges and universities in the same state as this university. The effectiveness of curriculum infusion programs on improving alcohol education and prevention in college environments is widely researched (Cordero, Israel, White, & Park, 2010;Lederman, Stewart, & Russ, 2007;Licciardone, 2003; Network for the Dissemination of Curriculum Infusion, 2007b; . These research studies report consistently positive results regarding the use of CI, especially in terms of providing faculty with a research-based method to discuss alcohol with a pedagogically sound method that positively influences student behavior outside of the classroom.…”

Alcohol use among college students continues to be a major public health threat to our nation. The purpose of this study was to explore faculty perceptions of their roles and responsibilities in alcohol education and prevention. The researchers adapted the Core Faculty and Staff Environmental Alcohol and Other Drug Survey to include only questions regarding alcohol and created additional questions concerning Friday classes. The survey was sent to all faculty members (N = 1,712). Completed surveys were collected from 122 faculty members (7.1%). The majority (95%) agreed that institutions of higher education should be involved in alcohol awareness efforts. Fewer (76%) agreed that they could positively affect students' alcohol consumption. Responses from open-ended questions revealed areas where faculty perceived they could have the most impact. Recommendations include implementing the Institute of Medicine strategies on campuses and incorporating faculty in these alcohol education and prevention strategies.

“…As a consequence, experience-based activities, such as drinking-related simulations and games, with their emphasis on personal experience, became part of the campaigns conducted on many campuses beginning in the late 1980s (Lederman, 1991;Lederman, Powell, Stewart, Goodhart, & Laitman, 2001). These activities, used as interventions, have been increasingly brought inside classrooms to provide students with the cognitive and behavioral skills they need to take the information from the prevention activities and incorporate it into their living experiences (Lederman, Stewart, Barr, & Perry, 2001;Lederman, Stewart, & Russ, 2007), thereby infusing a social and health issue, such as alcohol use, into the classroom. When brought into classrooms the strategy is referred to as curriculum infusion (Perkins, 2002).…”

& Schuwerk, 2007), a scenario-based alcohol prevention simulation, has been used in a curriculum infusion design to promote healthy alcohol-related decision making among college students. Its use offers a unique research opportunity to explore students' beliefs and talk about sex and friendships in the culture of college drinking. This study examines students' alcohol-related decisions and discussion of those decisions. In the simulated drinking context LTAI, participants have to decide what to do about an intoxicated female friend in a scenario in which a new male acquaintance invites her to go to his place. A qualitative observation and analysis of 141 undergraduate students' discussions about the situation and their decisions in it about how to treat their friend revealed two major themes: the importance of relational factors in students' decision making, and the variety of communicative strategies employed to protect their friends. In addition, the use of curriculum infusion and simulations regarding college drinking provided students with complex yet salient communication problems to investigate while also addressing a major health concern.

“…With regard to communication and health promotion, scholars have examined concepts surrounding curriculum infusion and social norms (Lederman, Stewart, & Russ, 2007), the construction of culture through drinking stories (Workman, 2001), peer communication and descriptive norms (Real & Rimal, 2007), personalizing persuasive messages about alcohol consumption (Pilling & Brannon, 2007), and television viewing habits and drinking patterns (Kean & Albada, 2003). For the purposes of developing the IRT model, research on dangerous drinking opens up the possibilities to examine the construction of misperceptions and the development of social norms.…”

New communication technologies, including personal response ''clickers,'' have become increasingly popular across college campuses as a way to promote a wide range of practices. This paper calls attention to the need for communication models that account for the usefulness of these new technologies, especially as they relate to health promotion, dialogue, and the (re)construction of social norms. Based on observational data from a health promotion simulation game, the authors developed an Immediate Response Technology Model. The model describes the usefulness of new communication technologies in promoting the dialogue and reflexivity necessary to co-construct health-related norms and practices.
