The PEP-AH framework identifies the following high-level recommendations:    

  • Establish and maintain a system to monitor drinking behaviours, risk factors and impacts, with regular reporting mechanisms  
  • Support initiatives for screening and brief interventions for hazardous and harmful drinking 
  • Strengthen emergency health services to enhance on-campus safety and ability to respond to medical emergencies related to alcohol 

The framework suggests the following initiatives: 

  • Conduct regular survey of students' alcohol use, knowledge, attitudes and consequences 
  • Provide expectancy challenge interventions  
  • Promote protective behavioural strategies interventions
