e-CHUG
The electronic alcohol check-up to go...

What is the e-CHUG?

The e-CHUG (electronic Check-Up to Go) is an interactive web survey that allows college and university students to enter information about their drinking patterns and receive feedback about their use of alcohol. The assessment takes about 6-7 minutes to complete, is self-guided, and requires no face-to-face contact time with a counselor or administrator.

What Does it do?

When you access the e-CHUG, you are prompted to enter information about yourself. In addition to demographic information, it will ask you to enter information about your drinking habits, and family history.

After the information has been entered, you submit the form. The e-CHUG calculates a number of variables and compares your responses to national and local college norms.

The e-CHUG's individualized feedback includes information that is particularly useful (and sometimes surprising) to college students. It includes:

• Quantity and frequency of drinking
• Caloric intake that is displayed in a simple, meaningful format
• Amount consumed and peak Blood Alcohol Concentration
• Comparison of drinking to national and local college drinking norms
• Amount and percent of income spent on alcohol.
• Tolerance level of the individual to alcohol's effects
• Personal negative consequences of alcohol use
• Genetic risk score for developing drinking problems
• Explanations of results and advice for changes
• Local referral information for further assistance

The e-CHUG is also a simple way for individuals to find out—in a few short minutes—if a professional consultation might be helpful. If, after completing the screening, you would like to speak with a counselor about your concerns, call the Counseling and Consultation Service at (309) 556-3052 to schedule an appointment for an individual consultation.
