This guide has been written for alcohol and other drug (AOD) prevention coordinators at postsecondary institutions and for other campus administrators who are interested in implementing, improving, or expanding violence prevention programs. The guide begins with an executive summary written especially for top-level school administrators, including presidents, vice presidents, and deans. The guide's primary purpose is to present detailed descriptions of potentially effective approaches to preventing acquaintance rape. The guide presents: a wide range of interventions that some colleges and universities have already implemented which other institutions of higher education can either include in a new acquaintance rape prevention program or add to an existing program; the pitfalls that other colleges have encountered in initiating or expanding acquaintance rape prevention activities, and suggestions for overcoming these obstacles; and the implications of the extraordinarily close association between student drinking and acquaintance rape.
