The third and final installment of a $2-million grant from the California State University alcohol and traffic grant has come to a close.
The grants, from the California Office of Traffic Safety, provided support for eight CSU campuses to reduce alcohol abuse, alcohol-related vehicle accidents and alcohol-related misconduct among college students.
Serving as the grant’s headquarters, California State University, Fresno’s Health and Psychological Services worked on the latest grant with Channel Islands, Humboldt, Los Angeles, Cal Maritime, Northridge, San Francisco and San Jose campuses on alcohol safety programs, such as eCHUG (an online personal drinking assessment program), and peer-to-peer education and counseling. Partnerships also were established with local law enforcement to conduct DUI checkpoints around the campuses.
