理性学生--运动员有参与饮酒游戏和游戏前游戏的风险。研究表明，旨在减少有害饮酒行为的简单激励和酒精教育干预方法在降低学生参与饮酒游戏或赛前游戏方面可能并不有效。方法我们在4个月的时间里评估了MyPlaybook(一种针对学生运动员的网络酒精干预)对学生运动员避免饮酒游戏和赛前游戏的影响。73个NCAA成员机构被随机分配到治疗条件下或不干预对照中。这些学校的学生运动员(N = 2449)在干预后的基线、1个月和4个月内完成评估。在每一次评估中，参与者指出了他们在过去一个月饮酒时使用几种危害预防策略的频率，包括“避免饮酒游戏”和“外出前避免饮酒(即，游戏前或饮酒前)”。结果在控制性别和种族/民族后，治疗条件与基线和随访期间避免饮酒游戏和游戏前游戏的变化无关。运动季节并不能缓和避免这两种行为的治疗效果。我们没有发现证据表明My Playbook，一种一般性的酒精减少干预措施，在影响学生运动员避免饮酒游戏或游戏前的保护策略方面是有效的。结论本研究和其他研究的发现表明，一般的以酒精为重点的干预措施可能不会对减少学生参与饮酒游戏和游戏前的活动产生次要影响，因此，应该调查更具体的针对性干预措施。
RationaleStudent-athletes are at risk for engaging in drinking games and pregaming. Research suggests that brief motivational and alcohol education intervention approaches designed to reduce harmful drinking behaviors may not be effective in lowering students’ participation in drinking games or pregaming.MethodWe evaluated the effects ofmyPlaybook(a student-athlete-specific web-based alcohol intervention) on student-athletes’ avoidance of drinking games and pregaming over a 4-month period. Seventy-three NCAA member institutions were randomly assigned to the treatment condition or a no-intervention control. Student-athletes at these schools (N = 2449) completed assessments at baseline, 1-, and 4-months post-intervention. At each assessment, participants indicated how often they used each of several harm prevention strategies when they drank in the past month including “avoided drinking games” and “avoided drinking before going out (i.e., pregaming or pre-drinking).”ResultsControlling for gender and race/ethnicity, treatment condition was not associated with change in avoidance of drinking games and pregaming between baseline and either follow-up. Athletic season did not moderate treatment effects on avoidance of either behavior. We found no evidence thatmyPlaybook, a general alcohol-reduction intervention, is efficacious in influencing student-athletes’ avoidance of drinking games or pregaming as a protective strategy.ConclusionsFindings from the present study as well as other research suggest that general alcohol-focused interventions may not have secondary effects on reducing students’ participation in drinking games and pregaming and as such, more specific targeted interventions should be investigated.
