Abuse Prevention Policy on Alcohol and Other Drugs.
Mississippi Univ., University.
This document presents the University of Mississippi's campus drug and alcohol prevention policy. A four page folder details policy and regulations including: Mississippi law regarding alcohol and other drugs (e.g., penalties for trafficking and possession), university disciplinary sanctions, health risks of drug abuse, and counseling and educational resources available on campus. An appendix contains a table which details information on 28 drugs providing names, medical uses, dependence ratings, tolerance, methods of administration, effects, effects of overdoses, and withdrawal syndromes. Enclosed in the main document are several other cards and information sheets. A card on alcohol abuse with questions and facts is designed to help identify those at risk for alcohol abuse. An information card on the Bessie S. Speed Wellness Center for alcohol and drug education lists the center's services and philosophy. A syllabus describes a leadership development seminar designed to train peer counselors. A description of a "Positive Growth Group" details a group counseling program for students aimed at decreasing the risk for drug and alcohol abuse. Also included is a copy of the "Wellness Survey--Summer 1990" which was used to poll the students body on attitudes to drug use and other variables. (JB)
