Literature Review
Introduction
The Higher Education Center for Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse and Violence Prevention (the Center), in keeping with its present agreement with the U.S. Department of Education, performs a periodic literature search in order to gather and make available information that supports environmental strategies.
The literature search is designed to capture literature relevant to the Center’s work including identifying promising campus-based alcohol, other drug, and violence (AODV) prevention programs or strategies for inclusion in Center activities and materials. It also includes a broader literature relevant to AOD theory, use and prevention.
