DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Alcohol use among college students has been associated with unsafe sexual behavior, violence, and academic problems. Lack of parental monitoring and social pressure to drink may make undergraduates especially vulnerable to alcohol misuse. Undergraduate students may be particularly responsive to alcohol education given that they have not yet formed stable use patterns. This project will translate an effective AIDS risk reduction model, the Information-Motivation- Behavioral Skills model (IMB), to alcohol risk reduction using feedback from focus groups and a survey of students. Translational research will be sensitive to gender-specific alcohol use patterns and problems, and result in one generic curriculum suitable for both genders. Following this translational research, the revised intervention and evaluation tools will be administered in a demonstration project. The study design is a group randomized, controlled trial (RCT) of the IMB applied to alcohol risk reduction among 1,080, predominantly freshmen, students living in campus dormitories. Thirty wings (15 male, 15 female) within five residence halls will be randomized to a Control condition (n=360 students), Single-gender IMB condition (n=360 students), or a Mixed gender IMB condition. The IMB will consist of 3 2-hour workshops at the beginning of the fall semester. Workshops will include group discussions and activities, and the development of wing policy statements regarding alcohol. Alcohol use outcome measures will be obtained at the end of the fall and spring semesters by student self-report in web-based surveys. Survey outcome data will be supplemented with police (campus alcohol violations), registrar (academic problems), and Resident Life (alcohol-related emergency health events) data. Nested, longitudinal analysis controlling for demographic covariates will be used to test condition comparisons in outcomes over the academic year. It is hypothesized that risky drinking will be less among females in the Single gender IMB and males in the Mixed-gender IMB condition over time relative to the Control condition.

描述（由申请人提供）：大学生的饮酒与不安全的性行为，暴力和学术问题有关。缺乏父母的监测和饮酒的社会压力可能会使本科生特别容易受到滥用。鉴于他们尚未形成稳定的使用模式，本科生可能对酒精教育特别敏感。该项目将通过焦点小组的反馈和对学生的调查，将有效的AIDS降低风险模型，信息激励 - 行为技能模型（IMB）转化为降低酒精风险。翻译研究将对性别特异性的酒精使用模式和问题敏感，并导致一种适合两种性别的通用课程。经过这项翻译研究，将在示范项目中管理修订的干预和评估工具。该研究设计是IMB的一组随机对照试验（RCT），用于降低1,080人的酒精风险，主要是新生，居住在校园宿舍中的学生。五个宿舍内的30翼（15个男性，15位女性）将随机分配到控制状态（n = 360名学生），单性别IMB状况（n = 360名学生）或混合性别IMB状况。 IMB将在秋季学期开始时由3个2小时的研讨会组成。研讨会将包括小组讨论和活动，以及有关酒精的机翼政策声明的制定。在基于Web的调查中，学生自我报告将在秋季和春季学期结束时获得酒精使用结果指标。调查结果数据将补充警察（违反校园酒精），注册官（学术问题）和居民生活（与酒精相关的紧急健康事件）数据。控制人口协变量的嵌套，纵向分析将用于测试学年结局中的条件比较。假设在单个性别IMB和男性在混合性别IMB状态下，随着时间的流逝，危险的饮酒将较少。
