Parent Based Interventions to Prevent Student Drinking

描述（由申请人提供）：本研究是一项研究计划的进一步发展，旨在减少饮酒的发生和程度，并通过实施有效的基于家长的干预措施（PBIs）来促进校园规范的变化，该干预措施基于Turrisi及其同事的工作（1999; 2000; 2001）。重点是通过在大学第一年与父母的干预来影响学生的饮酒行为。对话将发生在三个条件之一;（1）在高中和大学（PCM）之间的过渡期间大学预科之前，（2）在大学预科之前，然后在整个秋季学期由助推器父母“签到”（PCMB），或（3）在大学预科之后，在大学第一学期的秋季（AMC）。所有的努力都将试图使学生更能抵抗鼓励采用或继续大量饮酒行为的影响，并减少这些行为。我们先前的研究提供了实证证据，证明PCM的有效性，以保证其作为入学后干预的有效性。虽然有积极的报告说，家长的努力（例如，Elliot，2000年），几乎没有系统的理论驱动的研究，检查效能已发表在同行评审文献探讨是否有一个关键时期实施家长干预与大学生。这一空白，加上越来越多的大学在入学前后寻求让家长参与进来，说明有必要作出系统的经验性努力。为此，目的可以总结如下：（1）调查和比较的功效时，管理入学前与入学前与助推器与入学后，（2）以确定亚组的不同的PBIs是更有效的与不太有效的，（3）检查中介过程中，不同的PBIs影响酒精的使用和后果。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The present study is the further development of a program of research designed to reduce the onset and extent of drinking and contribute to the changing campus norms through implementation of efficacious Parent-Based Interventions (PBIs) based on the work of Turrisi and colleagues (1999; 2000; 2001). The focus is on influencing drinking behavior of the students through an intervention with their parents during their first year of college. The conversations will take place in one of three conditions; (1) prior to college matriculation during the transition period between high school and college (PCM), (2) Prior to college matriculation and then throughout the fall semester resulting from booster parent "check-ins" (PCMB), or (3) after college matriculation during the fall of the first semester at college (AMC). All efforts will attempt to make students more resistant to influences that encourage the adoption or continuation of heavy drinking behaviors and reduce these behaviors. Our prior research has provided empirical evidence demonstrating the efficacy of the PCM to warrant an examination of its efficacy as an after matriculation intervention. Although there have been positive reports of efficacy of involvement of parent efforts (e.g., Elliot, 2000), virtually no systematic theory-driven research examining efficacy has been published in the peer review literature exploring whether there is a critical period for implementing parent interventions with college students. This void, coupled with an increased number of universities seeking to involve parents before and after matriculation, argues for systematic empirical efforts. Toward this end the aims can be summarized as follows: (1) To investigate and compare the efficacy of PBIs when administered prior to matriculation versus prior to matriculation with boosters versus after matriculation, (2) To identify subgroups for whom the different PBIs are more effective versus less effective, and (3) To examine mediational processes by which the different PBIs influence alcohol use and consequences.
