Alcohol and Sexual Assault
o20-25% of women experience attempted or completed assault
oConsidered the #1 date rape drug
Students at Risk
oInexperienced/first year
First year students seen for acute alcohol poisoning
oUnderage drinkers have 50% greater rate of being injured
oSignificantly higher rates of driving after drinking, doing something they later
regret, unplanned activity
oCollege athletes are more likely to be heavy drinkers than non-athletes
Track - lowest rates of substance abuse
Lacrosse - the highest
Campus sport fans drink more
oDuring college, rate of drinking and associated problems do decline
After first year, frequency declines then increases at 21st birthday
Routes of Administration
Injection
oIntravenous (vein), Intramuscular (muscle), Subcutaneous (under the skin)
oIntravenous most common route for heroin
Methamphetamine
Drug distribution
Pharmacokinetics (how drugs move through body)
Travel from point of entry into bloodstream (by absorption through membranes)
Once in bloodstream, circulates through body in 1 minute
Drug Effects: Neurotransmitters
A drug that can mimic the effects of a naturally occurring
A drug that binds to receptor and blocks it, reducing activation by natural neurotransmitter or
agonist is antagonist

Screening, Evaluation, and Diagnosis
Background:
Know about type of treatment and other factors
Treatment starts from first contact (ex. Patient calls office for questions)
oRisk of spending too much time on assessment early on(balance need for
assessment and need for movement)
Different stage:
oScreening: board approach
oEvaluation: in depth idea of how bad the problem is (use this to diagnose)
oDiagnosis
oChange plan
