PRE-POST TEST

This instrument is an example of questions that you either use all or part of in your course. It is our suggestion that you include part or all of this pre-post test if you are using curriculum infusion on alcohol. The pre-test should be administered sometime before exposure to the alcohol content. The post-test should be administered no later than two weeks following the alcohol content. If you are using Blackboard as a course tool, this is an excellent method for administration. If you do not know how to use Blackboard, contact the UR Information Services Department for assistance. We ask that you provide us with the results so that we can assess the value of Curriculum Infusion in your course and at the University of Richmond.
