Artifact C1: Literature Review on the Effectiveness of Alcohol Sanctions
This entry contains one of my best-written works in the SDA program. This piece is a literature review on alcohol intervention programs on college campus and how they are used as alcohol sanctions. I wrote the literature review for my graduate project during my pursuit of an M.A. degree (SDAD 595: Student Development Graduate Project) in spring 2013. This entry demonstrates key understandings in wellness and health promotions, focusing on positive behavior change, social norming, and harm reduction. Furthermore, it demonstrates my growth in knowledge of the conduct pipeline in higher education as it relates to alcohol use. I used my literature review to position my research project by finding out where the contradictions and holes where in the current research.
This entry addresses learning outcomes number 2 (Understanding students and student issues), number 5 (Adapting student services to specific environments and cultures), number 7 (Utilizing assessment, evaluation, technology, and research to improve practice), and number 8 (Communicating effectively in speech and in writing). In looking at the current research, I was able to see why students adopt high-risk drinking habits, how different interventions worked in different campus environments, how assessment and further research is needed to fully understand positive behavior change, and how to articulate my recommendations to fellow colleagues.
