MPACT Feedback<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The MPACT (Missouri Personalized Alcohol, Cannabis, and Tobacco) Feedback program is aimed at educating Missouri college students about alcohol, tobacco\/nicotine, and cannabis use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program takes about 30 minutes and includes a questionnaire to assess the student\u2019s current use of alcohol, tobacco\/nicotine, and cannabis. Specific education about campus policies and resources are provided. Additionally, students are given feedback about their current use as it relates to other first year students at your campus. This data is taken from the Missouri Assessment of Collegiate Health Behaviors (MACHB). After the implementation of the program, your campus will receive a report of the substance use and abuse behaviors of your students in order to implement more effective prevention strategies in the first several months of campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
