目的：作者评估了基于网络的酒精教育计划对新生的短期效果。参与者：3,216 名一年级新生被随机分配到对照组或干预组。方法：对照组在大学前的暑假完成了一项调查和知识测试；抵达校园后 4 至 6 周，他们完成了行为和伤害的后续调查，然后受邀完成在线课程。干预学生在来校园之前完成了课前调查和测试、在线课程和期末考试。抵达校园后 4 至 6 周进行了一项调查。结果：尽管与对照组相比，干预组的酒精相关事后知识显着较高，但保护行为、风险相关行为、高风险饮酒和酒精相关危害对干预组并不有利，唯一的例外是玩饮酒游戏。结论：仅靠酒精知识不足以减轻该学生群体中与酒精相关的高危行为。
Objective: The authors assessed short-term effectiveness of a Web-based alcohol education program on entering freshmen. Participants: 3,216 incoming first-year Students were randomized to a control or intervention group. Methods: Controls completed a survey and knowledge test the summer before college; 4 to 6 weeks after arrival on campus, they completed a follow-up Survey of behaviors and harms followed by in invitation to complete the online course. Intervention students completed the precourse survey and test, the online course, and final exam prior to coming to campus. This was followed by a survey 4 to 6 weeks after arrival on campus. Results: Although the intervention group showed significantly higher alcohol-related postcourse knowledge compared to the control group, protective behavior, risk-related behavior, high-risk drinking, and alcohol-related harm did not favor the intervention group, with the sole exception of playing drinking games. Conclusions: Alcohol knowledge alone was Insufficient to mitigate alcohol-related high-risk behaviors in this student population.
