We tested predictors of interest in a clinical trial of naltrexone plus counseling for heavy drinking reduction in young adults using a web survey. Respondents could indicate interest in the clinical trial at the conclusion of the survey. A random sample of university students completed the survey (N = 584, 60% female). Data were collected in October-November 2010. Among past-year drinkers (n = 411), 22.6% (n =93) indicated interest. Equivalent levels of interest were found among past-year heavy drinkers. Non-white race and current cigarette smoking predicted interest. Alcohol-related negative consequences score was a trend-level predictor in the full regression model, but a significant predictor in a reduced model. Non-white students, smokers and those with a high number of negative consequences may be more amenable to drinking reduction via medication and counseling. These findings could facilitate efforts of researchers, administrators, counselors and other professionals to tailor drinking reduction messages and facilitate treatment engagement by undergraduates.
