Alcohol use is highly prevalent among U.S. college students and alcohol-related problems are often considered the most serious public health issue on American college campuses. Recent efforts in alcohol prevention on college campuses have focused on changing drinking environments. However, little conceptual work has been produced or published to guide such efforts. This paper presents an empirically based conceptual model of college alcohol use from an environmental perspective. Specifically, the paper discusses the underlying assumptions of environmental approaches to alcohol problems, presents a program model to guide and evaluate interventions, discusses a conceptual model to organize the social environment related to alcohol use and problems, and provides a series of interventions and measurement approaches consistent with the conceptual model
