Quizplus · Accepted Answer

BASICS (Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention for College Students) is a harm-reduction program designed for college students who engage in risky drinking behavior. Its philosophy is to reduce negative consequences related to alcohol use through education and motivation, rather than strict abstinence or punishment. Both DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) and MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) focus on prevention and strict abstinence from drugs and alcohol. SMART (Self-Management and Recovery Training) is a peer support program for individuals with addiction, which also promotes abstinence as a goal.
