ENVIRONMENTAL PREVENTION OF COLLEGE ALCOHOL PROBLEMS

这项申请响应了NIAAA的号召，通过在圣地亚哥州立大学(SDSU)发起和评估一项全面的环境预防计划，来研究减少大学生、重度饮酒和由此导致的酒精问题的干预措施。SDSU社区酒精伙伴计划是一个“长袍”联盟，它已经到位，以实施该计划。拟议的五项内容，多年的努力是以校园酒精问题的模型为指导的，该模型是由NIAAA资助的社区公共卫生预防项目的研究得出的。它实施了一套全面的校园环境政策和计划，这些政策和计划已经得到高等教育酒精和其他药物预防中心的推荐。研究设计提供了一项以新墨西哥州立大学为比较地点的准实验研究。该提案的特点包括：(1)数据驱动的分阶段计划，它使用来自一组广泛的过程、中间和结果变量的反馈来修改和完善计划；(2)正在对两所大学的学生进行跨境(墨西哥)酗酒调查，作为校园饮酒替代和计划有效性的衡量标准，挑战计划设计者寻找解决高风险饮酒行为的方法；(3)除了使用学生自我报告饮酒调查作为结果衡量标准外，还建议在校园内进行自愿呼吸测试调查，以提供客观的影响衡量标准；最后，(4)利用一套丰富的档案结果措施，包括来自校园警察、学生辅导中心和学生宿舍的记录。

This application responds to the NIAAA call for research on interventions to reduce college student, heavy episodic drinking and resulting alcohol problems by proposing the initiation and evaluation of a comprehensive environmental prevention program at San Diego State University (SDSU). The SDSU Community Alcohol Partnership Program, a "Town-Gown" consortium, is in place to implement the program. The proposed five element, multiyear effort is guided by a model of campus alcohol problems growing out of research on community public health prevention programs funded by the NIAAA. It implements a comprehensive set of campus environmental policies and programs that have been recommended by the Higher Education Center for Alcohol and Other Drug Prevention. The research design provides for a quasi- experimental study employing New Mexico State University as a comparison site. Special features of interest in the proposal include: (1) a data-driven phased program that uses the feedback from an extensive set of process, intermediate, and outcome variables to modify and perfect programs; (2) an ongoing survey of cross-border (Mexico) binge drinking of students at the two universities as a measure of campus drinking displacement and program effectiveness, challenging program designers to find solutions to high-risk drinking behavior; (3) in addition to employing student self-report surveys of drinking as an outcome measure, voluntary breath-test surveys conducted on campus are proposed to provide an objective impact measure; and finally, (4) the utilization of a rich set of archival outcome measures including records from the campus police, student counseling centers, and student residence hall records.
