Their ratings gave our research a 3.3 (out of 4) quality of research rating.
In 2017, before being defunded, the National Registry of Evidence Based Programs and Practices re-reviewed our research and rated the ALC “effective” for lowering alcohol use and binge drinking. You can read the NREPP re-review here.
