大学生过度饮酒是一个严重而普遍的公共卫生问题。尽管许多研究的注意力都集中在开发和评估基于证据的做法来解决大学饮酒问题上，但采用一直很缓慢。马里兰州减少大学饮酒及相关问题合作组织成立于2012年，目的是将马里兰州的高等教育机构网络聚集在一起，通过使用个人层面和环境层面的循证方法，共同解决大学饮酒问题。在这篇文章中，作者描述了这一多层次、多组成部分的全州倡议的发现。到目前为止，马里兰合作组织已经成功地为大学提供了一个分享知识和经验、加强现有战略和参与各种新活动的论坛。管理年度学生调查对于指导干预措施以及评估实现马里兰合作组织目标的进展情况非常有用，该目标旨在显著减少高风险饮酒及其对学生健康、安全和学业表现以及对大学校园周围社区的辐射影响。马里兰州合作组织的经验表明，为减少这一严重的公共卫生问题，采取了以证据为基础的方法。
Excessive drinking among college students is a serious and pervasive public health problem. Although much research attention has focused on developing and evaluating evidence-based practices to address college drinking, adoption has been slow. The Maryland Collaborative to Reduce College Drinking and Related Problems was established in 2012 to bring together a network of institutions of higher education in Maryland to collectively address college drinking by using both individual-level and environmental-level evidence-based approaches. In this paper, the authors describe the findings of this multi-level, multi-component statewide initiative. To date, the Maryland Collaborative has succeeded in providing a forum for colleges to share knowledge and experiences, strengthen existing strategies, and engage in a variety of new activities. Administration of an annual student survey has been useful for guiding interventions as well as evaluating progress toward the Maryland Collaborative’s goal to measurably reduce high-risk drinking and its radiating consequences on student health, safety, and academic performance and on the communities surrounding college campuses. The experiences of the Maryland Collaborative exemplify real-world implementation of evidence-based approaches to reduce this serious public health problem.
