This study was prompted by the identified need for an evidence-based treatment program for substance-involved NCAA Division I student-athletes. A needs assessment was conducted, surveying the treating clinicians in order to develop prevention and intervention recommendations to address the unique needs of the student-athlete population, the athletic environment, the athletic and university systems, and the organizational needs of the treating clinicians. Participants discussed the characteristics of the student-athletes typically presenting for mandated substance use treatment at this university. Results described recommendations for individual treatment and systemic interventions. Results also identified the need for a continuum of prevention and intervention services. Participants also discussed the need to examine interdepartmental dynamics that could influence the success of a comprehensive program. The results of this study recommend a comprehensive program with a range of services to address the continuum of student-athletes' substance use behaviors.

Including numerous reproducible handouts and assessment forms, the book takes readers step-by-step through conducting BASICS assessment and feedback sessions. Special topics covered include the use of DSM-IV criteria to evaluate alcohol abuse, ways to counter student defensiveness about drinking, and obtaining additional treatment for students with severe alcohol dependency.
