This program was for college students who had violated a college or university alcohol-related policy.
MyStudentBody - Student Conduct Course was a part of MyStudentBody.com, which was an inclusive, online alcohol, drug, and sexual assault awareness and prevention education program for college students. This course encouraged students to expand their mindfulness, recognize poor decision-making, and accept the consequences of their actions and behaviors in an effort to prevent repeat offenses.
No peer-reviewed publications were located evaluating the effectiveness of this program as it was offered on the MyStudentBody website.
The MyStudentBody - Student Conduct Course was designed to avert possible harmful drinking practices in college students by addressing the following:
The program engaged students using an interactive, online format that included audio, video, and written components. The program intended to change alcohol-related behaviors by providing incentive-based feedback on assessment responses and reflection-based content, which were meant to enhance or supplement one-on-one counseling. In addition, the program provided optional automated follow-up assessments that offered data on outcomes such as changes in students' behaviors and shifts in attitudes over time.
MyStudentBody.com was made available in 2000 and was used in 300 universities, colleges, and community colleges in 34 states in the United States. It was also implemented in Ireland.
To facilitate this program, the institution needed to acquire a program subscription to MyStudentBody.com. In addition, at least one on-campus program administrator was required to spend 3 hours receiving instruction in initial program setup, which included training in program installation, dissemination, and data collection.
