Social Norming Toolkit
In collegiate prevention, we recognize that college students are bombarded with a persistent messaging that has become part of higher education lore: “everyone is misusing alcohol and other substances.” Campuses need solutions that take into consideration varying levels of capacity, unique branding guidelines, and diverse student populations while preserving fidelity to the evidence supporting social norms campaigns. This toolkit is designed to be a guide to move forward to that goal.
