COLLEGE STUDENT DRINKING AND THE CAMPUS ENVIRONMENT--COMMUNITY PREVENTION

描述：大学生饮酒的极端水平及其伴随者 风险每隔几年就会被“重新发现”，但我们似乎没有取得什么进展。 在预防这一群体的饮酒问题方面取得了进展。我们建议 这可能是由于方法上的一些弱点，包括 干预目标界定不清，信息被认为不适当， 与学生无关，过度依赖专门的宣传活动， 以及对环境因素关注不够， 学生喝酒在拟议的五年研究中，我们计划评估 一个全面的，以社区为基础的大学干预措施的影响， 通过降低风险来减少醉酒和“狂饮”的频率 干预，包括商业和社会主机负责任的饮料 服务（RBS）计划，由将增加感知的活动支持 风险中毒，纠正学生高估他们的同伴， 学生？消费酒精，并获得支持的新RBS政策。 研究分四个阶段：（1）基线和政策研究阶段，包括 纵向样本1,500名学生加上一个比较校园的样本; (2)一个程序实施阶段;（3）一个过程评估阶段;（4）一个 结果评估阶段，在该阶段，该计划对频率的影响 醉酒，酗酒，以及负面后果的普遍性， 与基线和来自比较校园的样本进行比较。基线 数据将被用作形成性研究和信息，以改变学生 感知评价将整合过程和成果模式， 更好地告诉我们该计划如何影响学生饮酒 跨队列。 除了这些主要目标，拟议的研究将能够 调查学生饮酒在大学期间的演变情况 职业，并探讨性别和种族差异的可能来源， 饮酒和饮酒问题。最后，该组件将提供 为中心的其他两个组成部分提供基本的后勤支持-酒精研究 大学生的可用性，以及对酒精的密切调查？的角色 在大学生中的性侵犯。

DESCRIPTION: The extreme levels of college student drinking and its attendant risks are "rediscovered" every few years and yet we seem to have made little progress toward preventing drinking problems among this group. We suggest that this is likely due to a number of weaknesses in approach, including poorly defined targets of intervention, messages perceived as inappropriate or irrelevant by students, an over-reliance on awareness campaigns exclusively, and insufficient attention to environmental factors that shape the extent of student drinking. In the proposed five year study, we plan to evaluate the impact of a comprehensive, community-based university intervention to reduce the frequency of intoxication and "binge" drinking via a risk-reduction intervention that comprises a commercial and social-host responsible beverage service (RBS) program, supported by activities that will increase perception of risk intoxication, correct students' overestimates of their fellow students? consumption of alcohol, and garner support for the new RBS policies. The study has four phases: (1) baseline and policy research phase including a longitudinal sample of 1,500 students plus a sample from a comparison campus; (2) a program implementation phase; (3) a process evaluation phase; and (4) an outcome evaluation phase in which the program's impact on the frequency of intoxication, binge drinking, and prevalence of negative consequences is compared to the baseline and a sample from the comparison campus. Baseline data will be used as formative research and as information to change student perceptions. The evaluation will integrate process and outcome models to better inform us as to how the program may have influenced student drinking across cohorts. In addition to these primary objectives, the proposed study will be able to investigate how student drinking evolves over the course of their college career, and explore the possible sources of gender and ethnic differences in drinking and drinking problems. Finally, this component will be providing the basic logistical support for two other center components - a study of alcohol availability for college students, and a close investigation of alcohol?s role in sexual assault among college students.
