BASICS is the Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention for College Students. It provides confidential and personalized feedback in a supportive, non-judgmental way to help students reflect on their alcohol use. It’s a chance to take a closer look at your choices and ways to reduce risk if you choose to drink.

BASICS is great for students who:

  • Are looking for balance to keep on track with school, socializing, and health.
  • Are curious about their drinking habits and want to see how their use compares to other students.
  • Have thought about cutting back, taking a break, or changing their habits around drinking.
  • Might be worried about their alcohol use or have a family history of alcohol dependence.

 

BASICS is widely used on college campuses across the country because it’s proven to be helpful, practical, and student-friendly. Many students say it gives them useful insights they hadn’t considered before, while still respecting their personal choices.

Taking the screening is quick, confidential, and can give you personalized feedback that makes your college experience healthier and safer. To schedule an appointment, email the BASICS team.
