Abstract
OBJECTIVE: This project advanced a tiered system to classify colleges according to recovery-related offerings using an SEM approach to evaluate campus strategic plans. This project also explored student awareness of recovery on-campus services. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS: Colleges (k = 23) within a statewide prevention coalition submitted strategic plans for the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 academic years. Strategic plans were reviewed for the presence of recovery-oriented activities. Student responses (n = 16,472) to an annual college health behaviors survey from corresponding years were evaluated to assess students' awareness of recovery programming. RESULTS: Most colleges (82%) planned for recovery-oriented activities. Most campuses were classified as Basic Recovery (57%; some recovery programming/services); 26% as Enhanced Recovery (formal programs), and 17% as Inactive Recovery. Most students across institutional tiers were unaware of available recovery programming. CONCLUSIONS: Additional resources and implementation efforts are recommended for effective dissemination of information on recovery programming.
