Etoke Screening Tool

The Marijuana "etoke" is an anonymous, marijuana-specific brief feedback tool designed to help college students take a look at their marijuana use. The program takes about 20-30 minutes to complete, is self-guided, and requires no face-to-face contact time with a staff member.

  • What does it do?

When you access the Marijuana etoke, you will be prompted to enter information about yourself, such as your use of marijuana, spending patterns, and other things. After all information has been entered, the Marijuana e-CHECKUP TO GO calculates a number of variables and compares your responses to national and local college norms. Then, your personalized feedback is displayed in an easy-to-read format.

  • What does one need to use the Marijuana etoke?
    1. A computer
    2. Internet access
    3. A standards-compliant Internet Browser with JavaScript activated
    4. 20-25 minutes to complete the survey
