EIU, Clear30 join forces to create “accountability culture” for recreational cannabis use
Eastern Illinois University has partnered with Clear30, a free app that helps monitor recreational cannabis use, create personal goals for moderation, and build a network of peer accountability for students interested in reducing or stopping casual consumption. April 1 marks the first day the app is freely available for use by EIU students with an active EIU email.
Assistant Director of EIU’s Health Education Resource Center (HERC) Matt Warner outlined how the app and its personalized program work: “Whether students are thinking about taking a 30-day break or just want to be more aware of their habits, Clear30 gives them private, flexible ways to do it,” Warner said. “The app will ask for some basic input and information about each student’s goals and provide a customized, easy-to-follow plan.”
Those ways include tracking daily progress with:
- quick, convenient check-ins
- setting goals that work for students without unnecessary or outside pressure
- providing free, guided meditations for conquering potential cravings
- joining online accountability groups with other students at EIU.
The app is available for free use to all EIU students who download it via Apple’s App Store or Google Play. To redeem access using their EIU email, students can visit
go.eiu.edu/clear30.
The
Clear30 app is one of several health programs offered by the HERC at EIU. For a full list of the HERC’s available programs and services, visit
