As drug abuse among college students rises – most notably involving vaping, marijuana, and prescription drugs – DEA continues to provide the tools necessary to prevent drug misuse before it starts. Prevention with Purpose is DEA’s latest effort to support drug misuse prevention on college campuses and in surrounding communities.

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), which was recognized for ‘Excellence in Public Safety,’ in the 2019 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program, is pleased to provide institutions of higher education and their surrounding communities with these resources to prevent drug abuse among college students.

DEA is committed to promoting the importance of prevention and its role in helping ensure the health and safety of our nation’s colleges and universities.

This new publication ‘Prevention with Purpose: A Strategic Planning Guide for Preventing Drug Misuse Among College Studentsprovides a road map for college and university-based prevention professionals to address campus-wide drug misuse issues.

“With vaping, marijuana use, and the abuse of prescription drugs on the rise, it is critical we continue to do everything we can to reach at-risk populations such as college students,” explains DEA Acting Administrator Uttam Dhillon.

“DEA’s new publication provides valuable information unique to prevention experts working in higher education to help ensure the health and wellbeing of our nation’s college students.”

The college student demographic which is comprised of 18-25 year olds, continues to be an age group of significant concern due to the increasing usage rates for illegal substances.

According to the American College Health Association’s National College Health Assessment, 11 percent of college students misused a prescription drug in the last year.

The National Institute on Drug Abuse’s Monitoring the Future study indicates that daily marijuana use by college students has continued at record levels, and the vaping of marijuana by college students doubled from 2017 to 2018.

As drug abuse among college students rises – most notably involving vaping, marijuana, and prescription drugs – DEA continues to provide the tools necessary to prevent drug misuse before it starts.
