Campus Alcohol Policy Evaluation Tool

Part of the Canadian Alcohol Policy Evaluation (CAPE) Community of Practice event series. Postsecondary institutions require targeted resources and training to better understand and implement effective alcohol policies. Building on the research findings from the 2023 Campus Alcohol Policy Project (CAPP), this FREE new online tool extends the reach of their work on campus alcohol policy to the 400+ postsecondary institutions across Canada. This tool incorporates interactive scoring and real-time feedback on policy strengths and weaknesses. Implementation of the tool should increase capacity of postsecondary institutions to implement evidence-based alcohol policies on their campuses, make informed decisions, foster accountability, and ultimately enhance the effectiveness of their alcohol policies, creating safer and healthier campus environments for students.
