Cannabis Screening and Intervention of College Students is a service at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln that helps students overcome their issues with cannabis.
Brigham Scott, psychologist at Counseling and Psychological Services and alcohol and drug services coordinator, said CASICS is based off of Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention of College Students. About four years ago, Scott said he used the BASICS curriculum as a basis for CASICS.
CASICS is two sessions that are a week apart and last one hour each, according to Scott.Â
In the first session, there is an assessment of a studentâs cannabis use. Scott said the assessment is like a semi-structured interview that covers different factors, such as how often the student is using, what types of cannabis they are using and if it is having a positive or negative impact in their lives.
