Collaborative plans to reduce binge drinking on campus

May 3, 2011


Holly RamerAssociated Press - 05/03/2011 - Using the same approach he once used to treat tuberculosis in Peru, the president of Dartmouth College is leading a national initiative to reduce binge drinking: a learning collaborative focused on measuring what works in one place and sharing it elsewhere.

Thirteen other colleges and universities have signed on to the project that Jim Yong Kim announced yesterday, but officials expect to increase the total to about 20 before it gets underway next month. The project will bring together teams from each campus three times in 18 months to share their experiences and help one another test strategies back home.
