Marijuana e-CheckUpToGo... what is that?

Marijuana e-CheckUpToGo is a marijuana specific brief assessment and feedback tool. The assessment takes about 10-15 minutes to complete, is self-guided, and requires no face-to-face contact time with a counselor.

Information about demographics (no names), information about marijuana use, spending patterns, and lifestyle are collected. After all information has been entered the form is submitted. The information is validated and processed. The Marijuana e-CheckUpToGo calculates a number of variables and compares the responses to national and local college norms. The information is then displayed in an easy-to-read format.
