Self-Assessment:
The Electronic THC Online Knowledge Experience (E-TOKE®) is a marijuana-specific brief assessment and feedback tool. The self-guided assessment is designed to teach you about the choices you make and the consequences of those choices in order to assist you in making safer and healthier decisions in the future.
The assessment takes about 10-15 minutes to complete. When you access E-TOKE® you are prompted to enter information about yourself. After completion and submission, you will receive a feedback form to print out for your review.
Please note that the assessment will ask specific behavior based questions to measure attitudes and behaviors around marijuana usage. All responses are strictly confidential. Since E-TOKE® asks no questions from which students could be personally identified; you can feel confident that providing truthful answers – no matter what they are – will not put you at any risk for repercussions.
To begin E-TOKE:
Go to: http://interwork.sdsu.edu/etoke/GWU
Click Begin and answer all the questions.
Once on the last page called Resources, click on the ‘Print Feedback Form’ button on the right side and print.
Should you have questions or concerns about your marijuana use, please feel free to contact the University Counseling Center to speak with one of our professionally trained counselors or to schedule a free initial appointment.
Assessment:
Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention for College Students (BASICS) is an assessment/educational program provided to GW students who want to explore their alcohol use in a judgment free environment. The program is designed to help students reduce and avoid harm related to their alcohol use.
A similar screening instrument is used to assess abuse of and dependence on other drugs, including marijuana and prescription drugs that are also commonly used and abused on college campuses.
Individual counseling:
The UCC provides brief, individual counseling services focused on reducing harm caused by alcohol or use. For some students, abstinence may be the appropriate goal and for others, a healthier drinking plan focused on moderation of alcohol consumption is the answer.
Group counseling:
The UCC offers a 5 session psycho-educational/treatment group based on group motivational interviewing research with college students. The group, named Alcohol Got You Thinking (AGYT), consists of five rotating sessions and will run all semester during the fall and spring terms. Students may enter the group at any point in time and complete their five sessions. This is the preferred method of treatment for students who have suffered negative consequences from the over consumption of alcohol.
Consultation and Outreach:
UCC staff is available to provide outreach presentations and workshops regarding alcohol and other drug use to the GW community. The UCC, in collaboration with the Center for Alcohol and other Drug Education (CADE) offers screening during National Alcohol Screening Day during the spring semester.
Referral:
The UCC can provide referral services for students needing more intensive treatment and other modalities of care. UCC clinicians prepare students for such referrals and follow-up with students regarding their satisfaction with referrals in order to assure treatment needs are being met.
