目标：尽管大学生饮酒有所减少，但干预措施在成功减少后果的能力方面表现出一些不一致。为了提高预防工作的目标，本研究的目的是研究的作用，后果具体的结构，除了饮酒，影响学生的经验与酒精相关的问题。该研究探讨了饮酒和保护行为如何调节学生愿意体验后果，避免后果的意图和四类酒精相关问题（生理，社会，性和学术）之间的关系。方法：东北部一所大型大学的一年级饮酒者（n = 2,024）在大一的秋季和春季完成了调查。结果：正如预期的那样，不同的模式的协会出现生理和非生理后果。当生理后果（例如，宿醉，呕吐）进行了检查，饮酒显着介导的影响，意愿的后果。饮酒特定的保护行为间接影响后果通过饮酒行为，而一般的保护行为没有。当非生理性（例如，社会，性，学术）的后果进行了检查，饮酒和一般的保护行为出现的意愿和意图的后果的影响显着的调解人，而饮酒特定的保护行为没有。结论：结果表明，预防工作（例如，个性化反馈）可以被定制以解决特定类型的保护行为以及大学生经常经历的特定类型的后果。
Objective: Despite showing reductions in college student drinking, interventions have shown some inconsistency in their ability to successfully decrease consequences. With the goal of improving prevention efforts, the purpose of this study was to examine the role of consequence-specific constructs, in addition to drinking, that influence students' experiences with alcohol-related problems. The study examined how drinking and protective behaviors mediated the relationships between students' willingness to experience consequences, intentions to avoid them, and four categories of alcohol-related problems (physiological, social, sexual, and academic). Method: First-year college student drinkers (n = 2,024) at a large northeastern university completed surveys during the fall and spring of their freshman year. Results: As expected, different patterns of associations emerged for physiological and non-physiological consequences. When physiological consequences (e.g., hangover, vomiting) were examined, drinking significantly mediated the effect of willingness on the consequences. Drinking-specific protective behaviors indirectly influenced consequences through drinking behaviors whereas general protective behaviors did not. When nonphysiological (e.g., social, sexual, academic) consequences were examined, drinking and general protective behaviors emerged as significant mediators of the effects of willingness and intentions on the consequences, whereas drinking-specific protective behaviors did not. Conclusions: The results suggest that prevention efforts (e.g., personalized feedback) could be tailored to address specific types of protective behaviors as well as specific types of consequences frequently experienced by college students.
