Hello Janet

 Our  PASS it on program (Peers, paries And Senior Students) is constructed to let students self-identify partying risks in order to propose their own safety strategies
addressing these risks and develop a promotion campaign for their peers around these. We have found that inevitably sexual decision making is high up on their list of
risks and of ten the target of the safety campaign they propose.  The good thing about our program is that it lets youth name the risk in their own language, such as
"making out with randoms".  We also have a video,For the Record,  about an actual incident at an after-grad party, made by youth for youth.  The issue of alcohol poisoning
and sexual vulnerability are very much a part of the scene and the video leads to good discussion.
