个人简介
William DeJong, Ph.D. is the director of research and evaluation for Impairment Science, Inc., and an Adjunct Professor at the Tufts University School of Medicine. Previously, he was a Professor of Community Health Sciences at the Boston University School of Public Health and before that a Lecturer in Health Communication at the Harvard School of Public Health.
Dr. DeJong was the director of the U.S. Department of Education's Higher Education Center for Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse and Violence Prevention (HEC) from 1995-2004. Under his direction, the HEC emerged as the nation’s primary training and technical assistance resource for helping institutions of higher education develop, implement, and evaluate programs and policies for alcohol and other drug prevention on campus. In recognition of this body of work, he was awarded the first-ever College Leadership Award by the American Public Health Association’s Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drug Section in 2000, and received the Outstanding Contribution to the Field Award from The Network Addressing Collegiate Alcohol and Other Drug Issues in 2008.
Subsequently, he served as the executive director of research and analysis at Outside The Classroom, Inc. (OTC), in Needham, MA from 2007-2011. In this role, he oversaw the development and revision of AlcoholEdu for College, an online alcohol education course taken annually by approximately one-third of the nation’s first-year college students. Related to the course, he was responsible for developing and managing a survey database with approximately 300,000 college students added each year. He also oversaw the development of OTC’s AlcoholEdu for High School, Alcohol Innerview, and GreekLifeEdu courses.
Dr. DeJong was also the principal investigator of the Social Norms Marketing Research Project (SNMRP), a five-year, $4 million study funded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA). SNMRP was a randomized trial to evaluate the impact of campus-based media campaigns that correct student misperceptions of campus drinking by communicating normative information about student alcohol consumption. He also served as a co-principal investigator for Common Ground, a multiyear NIAAA-funded project based at the University of Rhode Island and led by Dr. Mark Wood.
Presently, Dr. DeJong serves on the Advisory Board of the Anheuser-Busch InBev Foundation and as a consultant to AB InBev for its Global Smart Drinking Goals project, a 10-year, $1 billion initiative to reduce alcohol-related harms due to underage drinking, overconsumption, and impaired driving, which launched in 2016.
He has been called upon frequently as an advisor by colleges, universities, and other organizations concerned about college student substance use. Highlights include serving as a member of the Board of Directors of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (1993-1996) and as a member of MADD’s Youth Commission (1995-1996) and Commission on Colleges (1999-2001), and serving as a member of the Panel on Prevention and Treatment of College Alcohol Problems, Subcommittee on College Drinking, National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), Bethesda, MD (1998-2002). He contributed to the NIAAA’s report, A Call to Action: Changing the Culture of Drinking at U.S. Colleges, which reviews the research literature on successful prevention strategies and provides best practices recommendations. His service on boards of directors and advisory boards includes terms with several additional organizations.
He taught courses at Harvard and Boston University on the use of mass media to promote public health, intervention design, and program evaluation. At the BU School of Public Health, he was awarded the School's Norman A. Scotch Award for Excellence in Teaching in 2007. He also received the Harvard School of Public Health’s first-ever Faculty Mentoring Award in 1999, plus the American Public Health Association’s Public Health Mentoring Award in 2015.
Dr. DeJong is the author of over 450 monographs, book chapters, academic papers, and other publications and materials on the subjects of substance abuse prevention, health promotion, criminal justice, social psychology, and the use of media to change social norms and behaviors. Over the past 30 years, he has participated in over 250 conferences and workshops as a keynote speaker, invited speaker, or discussant. He is a graduate of Dartmouth College and received his doctorate in psychology from Stanford University.
