Assessment Details
Academic Year: 2020-2021 Level: Undergraduate
Campus Department: Student Affairs [UG and Grad]
Program Type: Co-Curricular Program [UG and Grad]
Program Name: Marijuana and Other Drug Education (MODE)
Description of Data Collection:
The MODE program was last assessed during the 2018-2019 academic year. 44 students completed MODE in the 2018-2019 academic year and students were emailed to complete post-surveys on-line through Campus Labs. 5 MODE participants completed the post-survey and responses are listed below. We were measuring the following: changes to marijuana use behaviors that were made as a result of the program; barriers to making changes to marijuana use; readiness to change marijuana use.
Review Process:
During the 2018-2019 academic year, data was collected and captured via Campus Labs and the Associate Director of OHP/ADE and staff collected and analyzed the data. An assessment report with recommendations was written in the summer of 2019.
Resulting Program Changes:
The MODE program was assessed for the first time during the 2018-2019 academic year. 44 students participated in the MODE program during the 2017-2019 academic year. 5 students (n=5) completed the post-survey.
Results 2018-2019 include: When asked to list what they learned as a result of participating common responses were: loss of IQ points, amount of carcinogens in marijuana smoke, addiction/dependence on marijuana facts, THC content of marijuana. 80% of respondents strongly agree or agree that participating has gave them the opportunity to reflect on their current choices about marijuana use, while 20% strongly disagree. As a result of attending MODE, 60% of respondents are thinking about making changes to their marijuana use. 20% do not plan to make any changes to their marijuana use, but probably should. 20% do not plan to make any changes to their marijuana use, and are comfortable with their use. When asked to describe what changes they intended to make, many respondents discussed, reducing their use and friends and social life being common barriers to making changes. 100% of participants agreed or strongly agreed that their MODE class facilitator created a welcoming and non-judgmental environment. The Alcohol and Drug Education Program conducted evaluations on all of their programs in 2018-2019. Given the success of the MODE program and the results of this study at BC, the MODE program will remain the same. Note: MODE was transferred to a virtual group format in Fall 2020 due to COVID-19. Further assessment will be conducted to determine the efficacy of the program given these changes.
