Online Parent-Based College Alcohol Prevention

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请提出了针对大学生家长的在线预防酒精教育资源MyStudentBody(MSB)-Parent的第一阶段开发和测试。随着学生向大学生活的过渡，学院和大学将向新生家长提供MSB-Parent，以帮助促进减少酒精风险的教育。鉴于最近关注父母对年轻人生活的参与，这个项目是及时的。目前，美国青少年协会和美国青少年协会的倡议支持研究，以审查父母作为影响大学生饮酒和其他药物使用的代理人的作用。研究表明，父母继续对他们年幼的成年子女产生重大影响，特别是在过渡到大学期间，酗酒和其他危险行为明显增加。MSB-Parent将纳入已证明的功能，以改善亲子沟通，并减少大学生的危险饮酒。MSB-Parent将利用网络技术创建一种真正创新的方法，以家长为基础的预防工作，包括引人入胜的图形、动画、互动民意调查、测验和工具，以及建立针对学校的地方、区域和国家资源。形成性研究将包括对家长和大学卫生专业人员的调查，与大学生的焦点小组，以及概念映射程序。一个示范网站将由家长和大学专业的最终用户开发，并提交可用性和验收测试，以证明可行性。MSB-Parent将为大学生提供一套全面的在线预防计划，目前该计划已成功推广到全国各地的学校。在进入大学的过程中，酗酒和吸毒的风险增加了。年轻人危险饮酒的短期和长期经济、社会和社会成本是巨大的。父母可以在提供预防教育以促进减少与酒精有关的风险方面发挥重要作用。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application proposes the first phase toward development and testing of an online alcohol prevention education resource for parents of college students, MyStudentBody(MSB)-Parent. MSB-Parent will be offered by colleges and universities to parents of incoming students to help promote alcohol risk reduction education as students make the transition to college life. This project is timely given the recent focus on parent involvement in young adult lives. Current NIAAA and NIDA initiatives support research for examining the role of parents as agents for influencing college alcohol and other drug use. Research demonstrates that parents continue to have a significant influence on their young adult children, particularly across the transition to college when alcohol use and other risk behaviors markedly increase. MSB-Parent will incorporate features demonstrated to improve parent-child communication, and reduce dangerous drinking among college students. MSB-Parent will harness Web technologies to create a truly innovative approach to parent-based prevention efforts that incorporates engaging graphics, animation, interactive polls, quizzes, and tools, and established school-specific local, regional and national resources. Formative research will include surveys of parents and college health professionals, focus groups with college students, and concept-mapping procedures. A demonstration website will be developed and submitted to usability and acceptance testing by parent and college professional end-users to demonstrate feasibility. MSB-Parent will complement a comprehensive suite of online prevention programs for college students currently being successfully marketed to schools nationwide. The incidence of risky alcohol and other drug use increases across the transition to college. The short- and long-term economic, social, and societal costs of dangerous drinking among young adults are tremendous. Parents can play an important role in providing prevention education to facilitate reduction of risks associated with alcohol.
