Participation in the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's "A Matter of Degree" Program, has led to a number of environmental changes to address binge drinking at the University of Delaware (UD). The result has been to both increase the identification of students at high risk of substance abuse disorders while concomitantly reducing the ability of the current substance abuse services to provide adequate intervention and treatment. Expanding the capacity to intervene and treat students is particularly needed and will be especially important in redressing these problems. The aims of the proposed capacity expansion effort, Making over Substance Abuse Interventions on Campus (MOSAIC), will be to (1) increase the receptivity of students to information about alcohol and other drug risks and how to identify when intervention and treatment would be helpful and/or needed; (2) expand treatment options on the UD campus through timely and effective assessments and the provision of proven group treatment interventions; and (3) coordinate with nearby off-campus treatment options to provide more intensive treatment for some students who are deemed in need.
