在这项研究中，作者开发和评估了一个单一的会话体验期望挑战（EC）干预，试图通过改变中度到重度饮酒的男性和女性大学生中的关键积极期望来减少酒精使用。参与者（N = 217）被随机分配参加90至120分钟的EC会议，CD-ROM酒精教育，或评估。参与者在预测试、posuest和1个月随访时进行评估。暴露于EC干预导致随访时两种性别的酒精预期和随后的酒精消费量显着下降。在任一对照条件下均无明显变化。这项研究是第一个有效地减少期望和饮酒的大学生与单届EC干预。此外，虽然有几项研究证明了这种干预措施对男子的效用，但这是第一次对妇女这样做。这项研究代表了将创新的，基于理论的干预转化为更实用的形式的过程中的关键一步，使其更容易为那些寻求有效的减少饮酒策略的大学校园。
In this study, the authors developed and evaluated a single-session experiential expectancy challenge (EC) intervention, seeking to reduce alcohol use by changing key positive expectancies among moderate to heavy drinking male and female college students. Participants (N = 217) were randomly assigned to attend a 90- to 120-min EC session, CD-ROM alcohol education, or assessment only. Participants were assessed at pretest, posuest, and 1-month follow-up. Exposure to the EC intervention led to significant decreases in alcohol expectancies and subsequent alcohol consumption in both genders at follow-up. No significant changes were evident in either control condition. This study is the first to effectively decrease expectancies and drinking in college students with a single-session EC intervention. Further, although several studies have demonstrated the utility of the intervention with men, it is the first to do so with women. This study represents a critical step in the process of translating an innovative, theory-based intervention into a more practical format that makes it more accessible to those who seek effective drinking-reduction strategies for college campuses.
