Female Anti-Problem Drinking Group & Campus Initiatives

描述（由申请人提供）：2004年2月初，洛约拉玛丽蒙特大学醒来，一个几乎灾难性的欺凌事件涉及女子长曲棍球队。校园迅速动员起来，解决妇女酒精中毒和酗酒的令人不安的趋势。目前的项目“明智起来”对因饮酒而面临不良后果风险的妇女进行干预，同时通过一系列嵌套举措提高认识和改善校园生活。WISE UP的核心是一个由两个阶段的同龄人领导的动机增强小组干预，试图灌输负责任的饮酒习惯。干预采用目前的研究，使用动机访谈和焦点小组技术，以及性别特定的原因喝酒和妇女的差异反应，以讨论为导向，非威胁性，和同行领导的干预措施。小组包括对过去饮酒的评估，然后讨论减少饮酒的利弊，饮酒的原因和期望，以及与性别有关的酒精相关的健康问题。参与者通过3个月的每日日记监测饮酒和饮酒相关事件，并接受助推器会议。因酒精中毒接受治疗的妇女和接受与酒精有关的制裁的妇女也将参加单独的“明智的司法罪犯”小组。小组干预嵌套在一系列举措，涉及LMU的总统，EMT骑行，校园海报活动，利用在线技术的校园组织的团体规范计划，每月与教师/工作人员的酒精相关计划，以及正在进行的酒精和妇女健康计划。据推测，参加WISE UP小组的学生将报告较少的酒精相关问题，减少酒精中毒的发生率，降低司法制裁和累犯。校园意识将增强，校园文化将改变。包括评价/分析计划。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In early February, 2004, Loyola Marymount University awakened to a nearly disastrous hazing incident involving the women's lacrosse team. The campus galvanized quickly to address the troubling trend of alcohol poisoning and problem drinking among women. The current project, WISE UP, intervenes with women at risk for negative consequences resulting from drinking while, at the same time, raising awareness and improving campus life through a nested series of initiatives. At the core of WISE UP is a 2-session peer led motivational enhancement group intervention with freshmen women that attempts to instill responsible drinking habits. The intervention employs current research, using Motivational Interviewing and focus group technology, as well as gender-specific reasons for drinking and women's differential response to discussion-oriented, non-threatening, and peer-led interventions. Groups include assessment of past drinking followed by discussion of pros and cons for reducing drinking, reasons for drinking and expectancies, and gender-specific alcohol-related health issues. Participants monitor drinking and drinking-related incidents through daily diaries over 3 months and receive booster sessions. Women who are treated for alcohol poisoning and women receiving alcohol-related sanctions will also participate in separate WISE UP Judicial Offenders groups. The group interventions are nested in a series of initiatives that involve the President of LMU, EMT ride-alongs, an on-campus poster campaign, group norms programs with campus organizations utilizing online technology, monthly alcohol-related programs with faculty/staff, and on-going alcohol and women's health programs for students. It is hypothesized that students attending WISE UP groups will report fewer alcohol-related problems, decreased incidence of alcohol poisoning, lower judicial sanctions, and recidivism. Campus awareness will increase and campus culture will be changed. Evaluation/analysis plan is included.
