STRATEGY PLANNING WORKSHEET
Use this worksheet or download a copy to capture your thoughts about your current strategies and new ones you’d like to explore. Keep in mind:
Priorities: Which alcohol-related issues are of most concern to your campus? Make sure your school’s needs and goals are well defined, and keep them front and center as you fill in the worksheet.
Effectiveness: Does research show that your current strategies are effective in addressing your priority issues? Might others be more effective?
Balance: Realistically assess what you can do with your available resources. Strike a balance, if possible, between individual- and environmental-level strategies, and between strategies that will face
few barriers and can be put in place quickly and others that may take longer to implement. Consider the financial cost relative to the program’s expected effectiveness and the approximate percentage
of the student body that the strategy will reach.
