DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This two-year research proposal applies behavioral science to the systematic study of fraternity party environments in order to identify specific factors related to excessive alcohol consumption and intoxication of partygoers. The target population is university students (n=4,800) attending fraternity-sponsored parties (n=48) at a large university. The primary dependent variable is blood alcohol concentration (BAC) obtained from partygoers from 12:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. -- a peak time for most fraternity parties. The overarching practical objective of the proposed research is to identify environmental factors that can be used to develop policies and cost-effective prevention strategies for reducing excessive alcohol consumption and its concomitant negative effects among university students at social gatherings. The specific aims of this research are to: a) identify environmental factors related to excessive alcohol consumption at fraternity parties, b) identify and propose policy-related intervention strategies to address these environmental factors on a large scale, and c) explore ways to improve compliance with those university policies and guidelines for party drinking that significantly reduce at-risk drinking and intoxication, as determined objectively by the proposed research. Thus, the proposed research will not only provide an epidemiological analysis of environment-behavior and person-behavior relations related to excessive alcohol consumption at fraternity parties, but will derive a list of specific and feasible recommendations universities can use to decrease alcohol consumption at campus parties and thereby improve the safety of their students.

描述（由申请人提供）：这个为期两年的研究计划将行为科学应用于兄弟会派对环境的系统研究，以确定与派对者过度饮酒和醉酒有关的具体因素。目标人群是在一所大型大学参加兄弟会主办的聚会（n=48）的大学生（n= 4800）。主要的因变量是从凌晨12点到凌晨1点的聚会者身上获得的血液酒精浓度（BAC），这是大多数兄弟会聚会的高峰时间。拟议研究的总体实际目标是确定可用于制定政策和具有成本效益的预防战略的环境因素，以减少大学生在社交聚会中过度饮酒及其伴随的负面影响。本研究的具体目的是：a)确定与兄弟会派对过度饮酒相关的环境因素；b)确定并提出与政策相关的干预策略，以大规模解决这些环境因素；c)探索如何提高对大学派对饮酒政策和指导方针的遵守程度，从而显著降低饮酒和醉酒的风险，这是本研究客观确定的。因此，本研究不仅将提供与兄弟会聚会中过量饮酒相关的环境行为和个人行为关系的流行病学分析，而且将得出大学可以使用的具体可行建议清单，以减少校园聚会中的酒精消费，从而提高学生的安全。
