The Higher Education Center for Alcohol and Drug Misuse Prevention and Recovery has developed ScreenU, an SBIRT tool that you can implement on your campus to identify students who are misusing alcohol or prescription medications and link them to the education and support they need to be successful academically and beyond.  These web-based programs were designed specifically for college students and can be utilized in a variety of settings on your campus.
