Alcohol-Related Problems Among College Students

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议研究的目标是实施和评估一项综合干预措施，该措施将影响社区和校园环境的环境变化，以减少大学生酒精相关问题的发生率。为了实现这一目标，拟议的研究有三个具体目标：1。借鉴研究人员和其他人以前的工作，设计和完善一个双管齐下的干预措施，重点是改变社区和校园环境，以减少大学生的酗酒和酒精问题。2.在五个干预校园和周围社区以高度的强度和保真度实施这种干预。3.使用随机实验设计，使用“客观“措施（例如，酒精相关的伤害率，其他？）饮酒和与酒精有关的事件和学生的自我报告和宿舍居民顾问的报告饮酒和与酒精有关的事件。 南卡罗来纳州的10所高校将被选拔和招募。从这十所学校中选出五对配对，每对中的一所学校将被随机分配到干预组或对照组.在五所干预学校和周边社区将进行详细的研究，以确定他们目前正在做什么来控制问题饮酒，并与学院和社区合作制定定制计划，目标是在五个校园和社区实施非常相似的酒精预防干预措施三年（2-4年）。在第二年，大一随机抽样将被选为纵向研究样本，并将参加基于网络的调查，每年一次，通过他们的高年级。此外，将对所有其他学生每年进行两次重复的跨部门网络调查。问题饮酒行为数据也将每年四次从记录居民顾问，以及从学生健康，学生服务，校园警察和当地执法部门在第二年至第五年收集。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the proposed research is to implement and evaluate a comprehensive intervention that will effect environmental changes in the community and campus environment to reduce the incidence of alcohol-related problems among college students. To achieve this goal, the proposed study has three specific aims: 1. Drawing on previous work by the investigators and others, design and refine a two prongedintervention focused on changing both the community and campus environments to reduce alcoholuse and alcohol problems among college students. 2. Implement this intervention with a high degree of intensity and fidelity in five intervention campusesand surrounding communities. 3. Evaluate the impact of the evaluation using a randomized experimental design using "objective"measures (e.g., alcohol-related injury rates, others?) of alcohol use and alcohol-related incidences and students' self-reports and dormitory resident advisors' reports of alcohol use and alcohol-related incidents. Ten colleges and universities in South Carolina will be selected and recruited. From the ten schools fivematched pairs will be established and one school from each pair will be randomly assigned to either theintervention or control group. In the five intervention schools and surrounding communities a detailed study will occur to determine what they are currently doing to control problem drinking and a customized plan will be developed in collaboration with the college and community, with the goal of implementing very similar alcohol prevention interventions across the five campuses and communities for three years (years 2-4). In year two a random sample of freshman will be selected for a longitudinal study sample and will participate in web based surveys once a year through their senior year. Also, repeated cross sectional web based surveys will be conducted twice a year on all other students. Problem drinking behavior data will also be collected four times a year from documentary resident advisors, as well as from student health, student services, campus police and local law enforcement in years two through five.
