Violence prevention data 2011
1. Michael P. McNeil, MS, CHES, FACHA
Columbia University
ACHA Annual Meeting
June 2, 2011
2. Participants should be able to:
1. Describe the rationale for collecting campus-specific
violence-related data.
2. Identify potential tools for collecting campus violence-
related data.
3. List two strategies for conducting and analyzing data
on a limited budget.
4. Discuss the importance of data-driven decision-
making for preventing and addressing violence on
campus.
McNeil, M. ACHA Annual Meeting June 2, 2011 2
3. • Violence Prevention and Response Programs
• Are more than just disseminating information.
• Embraces and supports the mission of the institution.
• Supports students’ so they can work to achieve their
personal and academic goals
• Engage the whole campus
• Environmental context
• Improves the community in which faculty, staff and students live,
work, and learn
McNeil, M. ACHA Annual Meeting June 2, 2011
4. • Please take a moment and write down the single
most important violence-related priority on
campus.
• In a moment we will share a couple of examples and
discuss the justification for these items.
McNeil, M. ACHA Annual Meeting June 2, 2011
5. There are a number of historical factors that may be helpful
related to how we develop violence prevention- and
response-related priorities:
• Clinical data and experiences
• Past understanding of the issues on campus (historical
records)
• Crisis response
• Broad-based data sources
McNeil, M. ACHA Annual Meeting June 2, 2011
6. Priorities may be determined by:
• History – a program continues to exist because it has become core to the
unit operations
• Perception – a stated need that may not be supported by other data
(includes emergent needs and anticipated needs)
• Directives – a mandate given from a source of authority to provide a
program or service (e.g. Cleary Act, Title IX)
• Mission-Driven – selecting priorities that reflect commitment to and
support for the organizational mission
• Relevance to Higher Priorities – related the directives, this strategy is
based on the need to support efforts of a higher level part of the
organization
• Higher-Level Impact – some priority issues cannot be justified with process
measures as the true impact is often unknown or under reported.
• Data-Driven Decisions – quantitative or qualitative data that support
priorities
McNeil, M. ACHA Annual Meeting June 2, 2011
7. As accountability in higher education moves forward, we find ourselves in
an era that requires:
• evidence- and theory-informed practice
• cost-effectiveness
• standards-driven
• culturally competent
• data-driven and research-informed strategies for advancing the health
of students and the well being of campus communities
McNeil, M. ACHA Annual Meeting June 2, 2011
8. • Comprehensive sets of
national health objectives
for the decade
• Developed by a
collaborative process
• Designed to measure
progress over time
• Public and college health
documents
• part strategic plan
• part textbook
• on national and college
health priorities
McNeil, M. ACHA Annual Meeting June 2, 2011 8
9. A number of Healthy People 2020 objectives
support our violence prevention work
IVP-33 Reduce physical assaults
IVP-39 (developmental) Reduce violence by
current or former intimate partners
IVP-40 (developmental) Reduce sexual violence
IVP-41 Reduce nonfatal intentional self-harm
injuries

McNeil, M. ACHA Annual Meeting June 2, 2011
10.
11. • Broad context of efforts, like violence prevention programs in higher
education, are historically seen as auxiliary to the purpose of the
institution
• Health in higher education has historically focused success measures on
process instead of outcome
• We have not always seized the opportunity to engage key stakeholders
• To improve our self-advocacy with regard to a mission-driven purpose
• Be sure to recognize that classroom learning is only part of the
institutional mission
• We’ve not fully embraced student development and human development
theories that complement the work of addressing violence prevention
issues in higher education
• Many people come to this work from a single academic preparation
program or philosophical approach, potentially missing exposure to the
concepts, theories, and practices of the other

McNeil, M. ACHA Annual Meeting June 2, 2011 12
13. • Comparison of campus data to national data,
targets, guidelines, and objectives
• Identification of focus issues and goals
• Creation of a strategic plan based on best
practices in the field
• Creation of programs targeting identified
behaviors/practices by students
• Implementation of plan
• Continued ongoing reassessment of progress
towards goals & objectives
McNeil, M. ACHA Annual Meeting June 2, 2011
14. • What are the sources of data available to you?
• Examples may include:
• Clinical data (ICD-9 codes, Dx numbers)
• Fiscal expenditure data
• Population-based assessments (ACHA-NCHA)
• Campus-specific surveys, focus groups, etc.
• Learning & development surveys (NSSE, ESS)
• Process, impact, and outcome evaluations
• Community-based data (Hospitals)
McNeil, M. ACHA Annual Meeting June 2, 2011
15. Data Source Key Finding
Clinical Visits Upper Respiratory Infection (URI)
Fiscal Expenditure Alcohol
Population-Based Assessments Allergies
Learning & Development Assessments Stress
Evaluations Sexual & Reproductive Health
Community Data OTC & RX Drug Sales increasing
So how do we find a balance among competing topics?
McNeil, M. ACHA Annual Meeting June 2, 2011
16. The next set of slides presents examples of how institutions
have utilized data in a variety of settings including:
•Priority setting
•Budget allocations

Summary:
We seem to be doing a much better job of reaching our undergraduates with health
information. We also seem to do the best with information on preventing sexual assault
and relationship violence.
Women reporting receiving information at higher rates than men (table not show).
Suggests that we need to increase our efforts to engage men with violence prevention
efforts.

25. Using frequency numbers it will be hard to justify the
need for violence prevention efforts on campus.
Using links with academic impact can show the level
of impact that violence has on the students
Interferes with the achievement of personal and academic
goals
Linking with academics connects to the core mission of an

28. Undergraduates are more likely to report having
experienced the following compared to graduate
students at the institution
1.7 times more likely to report physical assault
2.3 times more likely to report sexual assault
This suggests that we should focus more of our
violence prevention efforts on the undergraduate
population
Used logistic regression to determine odds for categorical variables. Both are statistically significant (p<.05).
McNeil, M. ACHA Annual Meeting June 2, 2011 28
29. Of those that reported experiencing sexual assault
No statistically significant differences were found by
ethnicity
No statistically significant differences were found by age
Suggests that we should not focus our violence
prevention efforts based on ethnicity or age, but
rather use other measure for targeted or indicated
prevention.

Summary:
Because a relationship between alcohol and violence is well established and athletes are
perceived to engage in both higher levels of alcohol consumption and risky behavior, an
analysis was conducted to compare athletes with non-athlete undergraduates.
Athletes reported experiencing violence-related consequences of alcohol at higher rates
than non-athlete undergraduates. Suggests that additional work related to preventing
consequences of alcohol consumption are indicated with athletes on this campus.

• There are social and political pressures from
inside the higher education community and
externally in governmental systems to push
for new measures of student learning and
accountability in higher education (Guskin &
Marcy, 2002).
• We are the current and future leaders. As
such, we have a responsibility to create the
highest level systems to support students in
the achievement of their personal and
academic goals.

51. • Who are your existing allies that support violence
prevention and response programs on campus?
• What barriers need to be addressed to improving your
violence prevention and response efforts on campus?
• How can you use data to build the support needed for
a well integrated and evidence-informed violence
prevention and response program on campus?
