Basics
Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention for College Students (BASICS) is a one on one prevention program for college students who drink alcohol heavily and have experienced or are at risk for alcohol-related problems. BASICS follow a harm reduction approach, aiming to motivate students to reduce alcohol use in order to decrease the negative consequences of drinking.
