CHASCo believes that assessment is absolutely essential to the decision-making process and strategic planning of any institution interested in curtailing high-risk behaviors. Therefore, CHASCo assists institutions by providing funding for members to conduct various levels of assessment.
Individual-Level Assessment
CHASCo offers members the opportunity to apply for one of approximately 14 subscriptions for Electronic Check-up to Go (e-CHUG) with or without the personal reflection and verification of completion (PRVC), or e-TOKE (a $745 value) developed by San Diego State University. Subscriptions run for the 2009-2010 academic year. For more information about e-CHUG, e-TOKe and the PRVC, go to
http://www.e-chug.com/coll/?p=about/home.php.
Campus awards were made in June 2009 for the 2009-2010 academic year. Thirteen campuses were awarded either e-CHUG, e-CHUG + PRVC, e-TOKE or a cobmination thereof.
Population-Level Assessment
The CORE survey is provided by the CORE Institute located at Southern Illinois University and may be administered in either paper or electronic format. For information about reliability of their instrument and a sample of their long-form survey (the instrument CHASCo uses), please click

Institutions participating in the CHASCo-funded CORE survey utilize CORE's long-form instruement which is approximately 50 questions. For those choosing to administer the survey electronically, CHASCo elected to add additional questions in order for campuses to receive more data related to the perceived norms on campus.
