Alcohol Skills Training Program
Alcohol Skills Training Program (ASTP) is a risk reduction intervention originally developed by the University of Washington to help students and young adults develop skills to either effectively resist using alcohol, or limit their consumption of alcohol. ASTP focuses on skill building and risk reduction rather than complete abstinence from alcohol, recognizing that some college students choose to drink, and that any steps towards risk reduction is a positive step. The goal of ASTP is for students to have a better understanding of how alcohol affects the body, how to properly measure your alcohol consumption, develop skills to limit the amount of alcohol consumed per occasion, and how to better intervene during high risk situations.
