Abstract

Objective: Growing recognition of the importance of addressing substance use among emerging adults has led to a rapid expansion of recovery services on college campuses. However, existing estimates on collegiate recovery programs or communities (CRPs/Cs) and other services are outdated or lack rigor, leaving the extent of these resources unclear. This study aimed to fill this gap in our understanding by providing current estimates of recovery-related resources.

Method: Utilizing the Python web scraping library BeautifulSoup, we gathered a large sample of ".edu"-hosted webpages (N = 995) with references to recovery services (e.g., "collegiate recovery", "peer support"). Eligible webpages (n = 552) were screened by a team of 11 reviewers to extract information on these services.

Results: During extraction, we identified 270 institutions that advertised on-campus recovery services for students. Of these institutions, 176 advertised formal CRPs/Cs. A majority of CRPs/Cs (n = 164) advertised mutual aid meetings and sober/drug-free social activities (n = 138), while only 83 advertised drop-in centers. Relatively few historically Black colleges or universities (n = 5), Hispanic-serving institutions (n = 21), or native-serving institutions (n = 0) hosted recovery services.

Conclusions: On-campus services to support recovery have greatly expanded since previous estimates, but gaps may exist in the services provided by these programs. By providing an updated estimate and examining service uniformity, this study can aid in future expansion and standardization efforts to support students in recovery.

大学生康复资源：利用网络搜索揭示当前的估计值。

目的：人们日益认识到解决新成人药物使用问题的重要性，因此大学校园中的康复服务迅速扩展。然而，现有的关于大学生康复计划或社区（CRPs/Cs）以及其他服务的估算已经过时或缺乏严谨性，导致这些资源的范围不明确。本研究旨在通过提供对康复相关资源的最新估算，填补我们在这方面的认识空白：我们利用 Python 网络搜刮库 BeautifulSoup 收集了大量".edu "托管的网页样本（N = 995），其中提到了康复服务（如 "大学康复"、"同伴支持"）。由 11 名审查员组成的小组对符合条件的网页（n = 552）进行了筛选，以提取有关这些服务的信息：在提取过程中，我们发现有 270 所院校为学生宣传校内康复服务。在这些机构中，有 176 所公布了正式的 CRP/Cs。大多数 CRP/Cs（n = 164）宣传了互助会议和清醒/无毒品社交活动（n = 138），只有 83 所宣传了救助中心。历史上很少有黑人学院或大学（5 所）、西班牙裔服务机构（21 所）或本地服务机构（0 所）提供康复服务：结论：自之前的估算以来，支持康复的校内服务已大大扩展，但这些计划提供的服务可能还存在差距。本研究通过提供最新的估算值并检查服务的统一性，有助于未来支持学生康复的扩展和标准化工作。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
