TWO BRIEF ALCOHOL INTERVENTIONS FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS

许多学生偶尔大量饮酒，这增加了他们对健康和社会产生负面影响的风险。传统的信息计划和严格的饮酒规定并没有显著减少大学校园里的酒精使用。短期动机干预（bmi）已经成为减少大学生饮酒的一种很有前途的方法。身体质量指数包括一个评估环节和一个个性化反馈环节，侧重于个人饮酒量和频率、与饮酒相关的问题、酒精预期以及酒精影响的信息。两项已发表的结果研究表明，bmi指数显著减少了酒精使用和酒精问题。需要进一步的研究以：(a)在其他大学复制有希望的初步发现；(b)将bmi指数与另一种一对一干预进行比较；(c)评估bmi对转诊人群的疗效。本项目将比较两种结构相同的干预措施：(a) BMI和(b)酒精教育课程（AE）。参与者将是由当局推荐到雪城大学酒精和药物咨询中心的高危饮酒者。将进行三次评估：基线、3个月和6个月。预计那些接受BMI的人会(a)喝得更少，(b)比那些接受AE课程的人经历更少的酒精相关问题。我们还将评估(a)感知规范和(b)酒精预期对饮酒的可能中介影响。

Many students engage in heavy episodic drinking that increases their risk for negative health and social consequences. Traditional informational programs and stringent drinking rules have not significantly decreased such alcohol use on college campuses. Brief motivational interventions (BMIs) have emerged as a promising approach aimed at reducing alcohol use in college students. BMIs consist of one assessment session and one individualized feedback session, which focuses on personal drinking quantity and frequency, problems associated with use, alcohol expectancies, and information about alcohol's effects. Two published outcome studies demonstrated that BMIs resulted in significant reductions in alcohol use and problems. Additional research is needed to: (a) replicate promising initial findings at other universities; (b) compare BMIs to an alternative one-on-one intervention; and (c) evaluate the efficacy of BMIs with a referred population. This project will compare two structurally equivalent interventions: (a) a BMI and (b) an alcohol education session (AE). Participants will be high risk drinkers referred by the authorities to a Syracuse University alcohol and drug counseling center. There will be three assessments: at baseline, 3 and 6 months. It is expected that those receiving the BMI will (a) drink less and (b) experience fewer alcohol-related problems than those that receive the AE session. We will also evaluate possible mediating influences of (a) perceived norms and (b) alcohol expectancies on drinking.
