On Wednesday, April 13th Stevenson hosted it’s annual National Alcohol Screening Day (NASD) Field Tests on the Greenspring Campus at the MC from 10 am to 2 pm and on the Owings Mills Campus at Rockland from 11:30 am to 1 pm and at Ratcliffe from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm.
Every year surveys are taken, games are played, and students learn about the effects of alcohol through interactive games.
Games included:
Alcohol Screening Survey (answer questions about yourself and your peers related to alcohol usage).
Sobriety Check (walking the line with beer goggles on).
Dart Board (playing darts with beer goggles on).
Pour Your Own Drink (mix the correct amount of alcohol for drinks).
Tricycle (riding a tricycle through a coned area with beer goggles on).
Brain Injury Association (learn how alcohol damages the brain).
While some college students may drink, more and more of them drink alcohol in ways that can place them and others at risk. NASD raises awareness, educates students about unhealthy drinking habits and offers them confidential alcohol screenings.
The screenings – offered online or in-person at NASD events — are anonymous and confidential. The brief screening about alcohol use will help students get help if needed and referrals are tailored for the campus counseling center or health center.
