PA Higher Education Needs Assessment
In 2020, The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB) provided funding to the Commonwealth Prevention Alliance (CPA) for a preliminary survey assessment of higher education institutions in Pennsylvania to begin to collect data about current alcohol-related issues on campus and efforts to mitigate the negative effects of student alcohol use.
The stated purpose of this initial study was to collaborate with Pennsylvania Colleges and Universities to open a discussion around college drinking on commonwealth campuses.
