Core Survey Shows Promise

Gibralter is excited about the decline in alcohol and drug use in FSU students, and says that he expects the numbers in 2012 to continue to improve. By the next survey, there will be three freshman classes who have implemented the strategies which should show "overall improvement for years to come," says Gibralter. Knowing that, alleviating this problem will be a "long term sustained effort," and he is hopeful for the future.
He comments with regret, "sometimes young people feel as though they're indestructible. Unfortunately, it takes something traumatic for them to realize otherwise. But it would be great if we all had that feeling beforehand." Very adamant about continued progress and declining numbers, his main hope is that "a student does not die" from an alcohol or drug related incident.
Regardless of the accuracy of the numbers found in the survey, the issue is one that cannot be followed by numbers.
The campus wide initiative needs to be followed, to drink responsibly and to adhere to the law.

I agree, this is a very small sample. In fact 10% or less as respondants barely leaves any room for an accurate conclusion. Good luck in improving the take up rate. (Continued…)

423 students out of the 4,204 students enrolled is great!
