E-Chug at IUPUI

The e-CHUG is an evidence-based, dynamic, on-line alcohol intervention and personalized feedback tool developed by counselors and psychologists at San Diego State University.

Drawing on Motivational Interviewing (Miller & Rollnick, 2002) and Social Norms feedback theories (Haines & Spear, 1996), the e-CHUG is designed to motivate individuals to reduce their consumption using personalized information about their own drinking and risk factors. The e-CHUG was designed, and is updated with the most current and reliable research available. The e-CHUG is currently in use on nearly 400 universities and colleges across 45 states and in Canada and Australia. "With six (6) controlled studies on five (5) campuses all showing significant reductions in destructive alcohol use among college students completing the e-CHUG online intervention, NASPA recognizes the e-CHUG as a true evidence-based approach that is showing significant promise." (Kevin Kruger, associate Director of NASPA).

 

In collaboration with Housing and Residence Life, Campus and Community Life, and the Office of Student Rights, Responsibilities and Conduct, IUPUI Counseling and Psychological Services contracted this unique e-CHUG program for the exclusive use of, and tailored to, the IUPUI community.
