"Drs. Cimini and Rivero have assembled some of the leading practitioner and researcher experts in prevention work in higher education. At a time when student well-being and risk-reduction are top priorities on campuses, this volume offers a comprehensive road map to colleges and universities for developing and implementing evidenced-based prevention strategies at the environmental, community/group, and individual levels. It will be an essential resource for campus planning around these very important student issues!"

-John H. Dunkle, PhD, executive director, counseling and psychological services and the Center for Awareness, Response, and Education, Northwestern University

"A comprehensive and current accounting of the behavioral health vulnerabilities and associated prevention-related interventions for college and university students is long overdue. This book provides practical information for preventionists wanting to apply their skills to college student mental health or for mental health and student affairs professionals who need to expand their skills to include public health approaches in higher education. This should be required reading in our field."

-Chris Brownson, PhD, associate vice president for student affairs and director of the Counseling and Mental Health Center at the University of Texas at Austin
