Hazing Researchers release Maine Study Just Now

November 22, 2010 By Hank Nuwer Leave a Comment

Here is the link. Good stuff here. Thanks to all for hard work.

Go right to the study on web: other link

Note from researchers:

We are writing to share the exciting news that the The National Agenda for Hazing Prevention is being released today.  The Agenda is a product of collaboration emerging from the 2009 National Hazing Symposium co-sponsored with HazingPrevention.org and is intended to serve as a guiding framework and national call to action (to sustain current and ignite new hazing prevention efforts).

Key purposes of the Agenda are to:
  • Further catalyze dialogue and collaboration related to hazing prevention.
  • Fuel more widespread public recognition of hazing as a health and safety risk to students.
  • Emphasize the importance of grounding prevention efforts in research and evaluating prevention strategies for their effectiveness.
The four overarching goals of the Agenda are as follows:
Goal #1: Increase extent to which hazing is considered a priority health and safety issue.
Goal #2: Advance research about hazing and its prevention.
Goal #3: Increase available evidence about effective hazing prevention.
Goal #4: Build campus, school, and community capacity to develop hazing-free environments.
Attached is the version to be posted on our website (www.hazingstudy.org) and circulated electronically.  Please feel free share with your constituents and/or others who may be interested.  As always, we thank you for your support of the research to inform effective hazing prevention and for your continued commitment to this important issue.

Best wishes for a safe holiday.
