The Health Behavior Assessment Center (HBAC) at Auburn University is a program that helps students get an unbiased view about their drinking habits.
HBAC is not a “just say no” clinic. The counselors and professors involved understand that drinking is not necessarily a bad idea. They want to show students how their drinking affects their grades, social life and more.
Through the program, students can learn about what other college students feel about their drinking and how their own drinking goes along with those values at Auburn. Students are taught about blood alcohol concentrations, how much money can be involved in drinking, how many calories you intake while drinking, etc.
To learn about what actually occures at the HBAC clinic, watch the interview with Dr. Christopher Correia, a professor of psychology and coordinator of the program. He and the other HBAC staff members would love for students to come in and speak with them. Appointments can be scheduled anytime.
If you or someone you know feels like drinking is becoming a major area of concern, HBAC is available for assistance. If students choose to attend an HBAC counseling session, the information they receive is free of charge.
For more information about the HBAC clinic, visit their Web site at http://www.auburn.edu/psychology/outreach/hbac/. They can also be reached by e-mail at hbacpsc@auburn.edu or telephone at (334) 844-4889. The HBAC office is located in the Psychological Services Center which is housed in Haley Center 1122.
