Primary interest is to determine whether and how project-level correlates affect schools' perceptions of the initiatiative's effectiveness over time when effects of pre-grant community and otehr environmental conditions are considered. Comprehensive programs and activities were found to be a significant predictor of initial increases in perceived overall impact of the initiative, of safety and violence prevention activities, and of substance use prevention activities even when the effect of funding was considered. Coordination and service integration activities were significantly related to mean rate of growth for substance use prevention over a three-year period. The paper demonstrates that this type of longitudinal grwoth c...

An estimated 1,088 suicides occur among college students each year (Silverman et. al., 1997). The complex problem of suicide and suicidal behaviors on campuses demands a multifaceted, collaborative, coordinated response. In 2005, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services) provided 3-year grants to 21 institutions of higher education to help them prevent suicide and suicide attempts, and to enhance services for students with behavioral health problems that put them at risk for suicide or suicide attempts. Grantees build public health infrastructures by implementing activities such as conducting gatekeeper training; building early identification, crisis intervention, referral, and treatment networks between and among on- and off-campus resources; and providing suicide prevention education. This session presents a description of campus activities, major barriers encountered, and accomplishments. We also provide an analysis of lessons learned and unique successes as reported in grantees' first annual reports. Strategies for implementing activities varied across campuses, as did the specific populations targeted. Most grantees made considerable progress toward their stated goal for each activity implemented. However, a number of challenges did arise. Campuses also reported lessons learned in areas such as effective planning, constituency building, changing the campus culture and mentality regarding suicide prevention, and sustainability.
