Reducing high-risk student alcohol use one campus, one student, one digit at a time.

360 Proof is a comprehensive evidence-based program that was created to help universities reduce the consequences of high-risk alcohol use and enhance collaboration between campus prevention teams, students, and their support systems.

Built on solid research data and real-world results, 360 Proof combines effective tools, strategies, and ongoing expert guidance to help students make better decisions about their alcohol use.

three-pronged comprehensive approach

Campus self study

Review and enhance your prevention strategies using the campus self-study tool. This process will help you assess specific alcohol issues, behavioral trends, successes, and gaps of your current prevention efforts in your specific campus context.

The PFI Approach Works

A candid and confidential online tool designed for students, studies show the personalized feedback index can have a significant effect on students’ alcohol use. This includes a reduction in total number of drinks consumed per week, frequency of alcohol use per month, and frequency of drinking after one year. Test it out yourself below.

NIAAA Recommended Strategies

The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) has been instrumental in compiling research on college alcohol prevention, targeting both individual students and campus environments. Utilizing CollegeAIM, campuses work to align strategies to reduce high-risk drinking.
