university-based prevention programs

University-based prevention programs are initiatives organized by colleges and universities aimed at reducing risky behaviors like drug and alcohol misuse, violence, or mental health issues among students. These programs often include education, counseling, peer support, and policy changes to foster a safer, healthier campus environment. They focus on early intervention, promoting healthy choices, and building awareness to prevent problems before they start. By addressing risk factors and reinforcing protective factors, these programs help students succeed academically and personally, while also maintaining campus safety and well-being.
