Using Electronic Technology in
Social Norms Programs

These electronic media campaigns have been specifically designed to reduce misperceptions of student norms and thereby reduce levels of alcohol and other drug use and the resulting consequences. Examples of products produced are displayed here.
Screen Saver- Broadcasts social norms messages from previously published Campus Factoids without relying on a user to start the program. This program has been installed in all open-access computer laboratories, the library, and now in all faculty, administrator, and office staff computers. The computer self-initiates this screen saver program.

 

Multimedia Interactive Campus Factoids and Reactiods- Students can use this interface to browse previously published Campus Factoids and related student-produced videos, supplementary survey research data, and photos. The newest feature, Reactoids, allows students to respond to factoids, ad comments to the database, and suggest improvements.


World Wide Web Site Resource for Students and Faculty- Brings social norms information while supporting academic work. Creates research resources for the campus community and delivers prevention messages along the way. An example of this resource can be seen to the left as well as by following the links below.
