Growing recognition of the importance of addressing substance use among emerging adults has led to a rapid expansion of recovery services on college campuses. However, existing estimates on collegiate recovery programs or communities (CRPs/Cs) and other services are outdated or lack rigor, leaving the extent of these resources unclear. This study aimed to fill this gap in our understanding by providing current estimates of recovery-related resources.
Utilizing the Python web scraping library BeautifulSoup, we gathered a large sample of ".edu"-hosted webpages ( = 995) with references to recovery services (e.g., "collegiate recovery", "peer support"). Eligible webpages ( = 552) were screened by a team of 11 reviewers to extract information on these services.
During extraction, we identified 270 institutions that advertised on-campus recovery services for students. Of these institutions, 176 advertised formal CRPs/Cs. A majority of CRPs/Cs ( = 164) advertised mutual aid meetings and sober/drug-free social activities ( = 138), while only 83 advertised drop-in centers. Relatively few historically Black colleges or universities ( = 5), Hispanic-serving institutions ( = 21), or native-serving institutions ( = 0) hosted recovery services.
On-campus services to support recovery have greatly expanded since previous estimates, but gaps may exist in the services provided by these programs. By providing an updated estimate and examining service uniformity, this study can aid in future expansion and standardization efforts to support students in recovery.

越来越多的人认识到解决成年初期物质使用问题的重要性，这导致校园内的康复服务迅速扩大。然而，现有的关于大学生康复计划或社区（CRPs/Cs）和其他服务的估计要么已经过时，要么缺乏严谨性，使得这些资源的范围不明确。本研究旨在通过提供与康复相关资源的最新估计来填补我们理解上的这一空白。
利用 Python 网络爬虫库 BeautifulSoup，我们收集了大量带有康复服务参考的“.edu”托管网页（=995）的样本（例如，“大学生康复”，“同伴支持”）。由一个由 11 名评审员组成的团队对符合条件的网页（=552）进行筛选，以提取这些服务的信息。
在提取过程中，我们确定了 270 所宣传校内康复服务的机构。在这些机构中，有 176 所宣传正式的 CRP/Cs。大多数 CRP/Cs（=164）宣传互助会议和清醒/无毒的社交活动（=138），而只有 83 所宣传临时活动中心。相对较少的历史上的黑人学院或大学（=5）、服务西班牙裔学生的机构（=21）或服务本土学生的机构（=0）提供康复服务。
自以前的估计以来，支持康复的校内服务已经大大扩大，但这些项目提供的服务可能存在差距。通过提供最新的估计并检查服务的一致性，本研究可以帮助未来的扩展和标准化努力，以支持康复中的学生。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
