Under the Influence was developed in 2001 as the first online, alcohol intervention program in the U.S. An educational sanction for alcohol violations, the course includes lessons on key issues such as alcohol's health effects, drinking and driving, state-specific laws, and alcohol/prescription interactions.
Tailored to the individual, students receive a confidential drinking profile that summarizes personal drinking-related problems, compares drinking habits with social norms, challenges personal expectations, and provides a range of non-drinking strategies.
