1.15 University of Vermont Wellness Environment: Preliminary Results of the Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment Pre- and Mid-Year Screening Survey.

The University of Vermont Wellness Environment (WE) was created based on the principles of behavior change neuroscience and is a health promotion program that incentivizes college students to make healthy choices. The primary objective of this research was to test the efficacy and effectiveness of the University of Vermont WE program through the Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) intervention. For the AUDIT measure, only the CAU group reflected a statistically significant decrease in referrals from the SBIRT criteria from survey 1 (47.0%) to survey 2 (42.3%) [ SP 2 sp (1, N = 814) = 4.78, p = 0.0288].
