Dissertations and Theses
Academic advisors have played an essential role within higher education institutions. Not only did academic advisors assist students in selecting courses/scheduling, but advisors could also help address students' substance use concerns.

Thus, it was vital for advisors to have the skills to help students with substance use concerns or refer them for additional services. Intrusive advising …
