Opioid misuse and risk of death due to overdose are critical public health issues and young adults are at risk. College campus communities are ideal settings for the prevention of opioid misuse among young adults due to high enrollment rates, the diversity and availability of resources within the campus community, and the range of risk and protective factors that can be targeted. This practitioner narrative describes a grant-funded three-year opioid misuse prevention project implemented on a U.S. college campus. In keeping with the focus of the grant, the project involved a range of universal prevention activities implemented across the campus community. Lessons learned regarding factors that facilitated implementation in this community context are discussed and may be useful for others interested in implementing prevention activities to help prevent opioid misuse among young adults in their campus communities. Additionally, a reflection on the project and the efficacy of universal prevention to prevent opioid misuse among college students are offered for consideration.
阿片类药物滥用和过量死亡的风险是严重的公共卫生问题，而年轻人处于风险之中。由于入学率高、校园社区内资源的多样性和可用性，以及可以针对的一系列风险和保护因素，大学校园社区是预防年轻人阿片类药物滥用的理想场所。本实践叙述描述了一个在美国大学校园实施的、有资助的为期三年的阿片类药物滥用预防项目。根据赠款的重点，该项目涉及在整个校园社区实施的一系列普遍预防活动。讨论了在这种社区背景下促进实施的因素，这些经验可能对其他有兴趣在校园社区中实施预防活动以帮助预防年轻人阿片类药物滥用的人有用。此外，还对该项目以及普遍预防措施预防大学生阿片类药物滥用的效果进行了反思和考虑。
