DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Heavy drinking among college students continues to be an epidemic problem throughout the United States. Brief motivational interventions utilizing personalized feedback have consistently demonstrated reductions in the average number of drinks students consume over time. However, no empirically supported interventions are currently available which specifically target events associated with extreme risk (e.g., 21st birthdays and Spring Break). The availability of an Event-Specific Prevention (ESP) paradigm would represent a novel and important contribution to the prevention field. The proposed research is designed to evaluate ESP interventions modified from existing empirically supported interventions which target drinking more globally. This research will be conducted in 3 stages. In stage 1 (year 1), campus specific prevalence rates of consumption and consequences associated with 21st birthday celebrations and Spring Break will be obtained and incorporated into interventions to be evaluated in stages 2 and 3. Stage 2 (years 1-3) will implement an efficacy trial focused on 21st birthday drinking. Following a baseline assessment two weeks prior to their 21st birthday, students will be randomly assigned to receive event specific web-based personalized feedback, an in-person event specific brief motivational feedback intervention, an in-person non-specific brief motivational feedback intervention or an assessment only control group. Students in the event-specific feedback groups will also be randomly assigned to a friend intervention or no friend intervention condition. Students in the friend intervention conditions will nominate two friends to help them have a safe and enjoyable birthday. Friends will receive a brief web-based intervention providing tools to help them assist the celebrant in reducing the risk of negative alcohol related consequences during the event. Assessments immediately post-intervention and after the 21st birthday will establish intervention efficacy, and assessments at 3, 6, and 9 months and 1 year will establish generalizability and long term intervention effects. Stage 3 (years 2-5) will utilize a design parallel to stage 2 but will focus specifically on Spring Break drinking. In sum, this research will evaluate ESP interventions for two events for which empirically supported interventions are currently unavailable. This research has the potential to establish a new prevention paradigm for problem drinking among college students.

描述（由申请人提供）：在美国，大量的大学生饮酒仍然是一个流行病。利用个性化反馈的简短动机干预措施始终显示出随着时间的流逝，学生的平均饮料数量减少。但是，目前尚无经验支持的干预措施，这些干预措施特别针对与极端风险相关的事件（例如，第21个生日和春假）。特定事件的预防（ESP）范式的可用性将代表对预防领域的新颖而重要的贡献。拟议的研究旨在评估从现有的经验支持的干预措施中修改的ESP干预措施，这些干预措施针对全球饮酒。这项研究将在三个阶段进行。在第1阶段（第1年）中，将获得与21岁生日庆祝活动和春假相关的校园特定流行率，并将纳入第2阶段和第3阶段评估的干预措施。第2阶段（1 - 3年）将实施以21岁生日饮酒的效力试验。在21岁生日前两周进行基线评估之后，学生将被随机分配以接收特定事件的基于Web的个性化反馈，一个面对面的事件特定的简短动机反馈干预，是面对面的非个人简短动机反馈干预或仅评估控制组。特定于事件的反馈小组中的学生也将随机分配给朋友干预或没有朋友干预条件。在朋友干预条件下，学生将提名两个朋友，以帮助他们过一个安全愉快的生日。朋友将获得简短的基于网络的干预措施，提供工具，以帮助他们帮助庆祝者降低活动期间与酒精相关的后果的风险。干预后和21岁生日后立即进行评估将建立干预功效，并在3、6和9个月和1年的评估将建立可推广性和长期干预效果。第3阶段（2 - 5年）将使用与第2阶段平行的设计，但专门专门用于春假饮酒。总而言之，这项研究将评估有关目前无法获得经验支持的干预措施的两个事件的ESP干预措施。这项研究有可能建立一个新的预防范式，以解决大学生饮酒问题。
