Tailored Web Program to Reduce At-Risk College Drinking

显然，非常需要有效的干预措施来预防/减少高危饮酒(ARD； 未成年大学生健康风险的数量和频率)。 目前在美国，平均每天有3名大学生死于与酒精有关的汽车 数以千计的人是与酒精有关的暴力和袭击的受害者，并危及他们的健康和 通过ARD的专业期货。这项研究将解决以下目标。1)发展以理论为导向的 四次会议，基于网络的量身定做的短期激励干预，以预防/减少未成年人的ARD 一年级大学生(即18岁至20岁)。招生和随机分配学习 来自密歇根大学新生班的参与者参加了量身定制的短期干预(TBI)或 仅限网络调查(WSO)的情况将发生在一个学年的前两个月。参与者： 这两种情况将被问到相同的基线、定制和后续问题，并将访问研究 网站上的干预次数相同，但只有TBI组将收到量身定制的干预会议。TBI 消息将根据每个TBI组成员的人口统计、ARD级别和行为变化进行定制 制定干预消息所需的特征和定制信息将被测量为 在四次会议期间需要。两组都将在6点、12点和12点进行一次简短的网络调查。 还有18个月。2)通过比较基于网络的创伤性脑损伤和基于网络的创伤性脑损伤对减少ARD的效果 WSO组在基线、干预后6个月、12个月和18个月时的ARD预后。最终样本量 计划为540人。将测试干预的主要效果和与性行为的交互作用。3)确定 完成1、2、3和4次干预/控制的参与者的基线ARD行为和态度 网上会议；并完成6个月、12个月和18个月的随访。这项研究将检验预测因素 参与和辍学的问题。如果有效，拟议的干预措施可以廉价地进行修改，以实现 对大量大学生、其他人群成员进行有效干预，并有针对性地 其他危害健康的行为。

Great need is evident for effective interventions to prevent/reduce at-risk drinking (ARD; combinations of quantity and frequency that place one's health at risk) among underage college undergraduate students. Currently in the United States an average of three college students die each day in alcohol-related car crashes, while thousands more are victims of alcohol-related violence and assault, and risk their health and professional futures through ARD. This study will address the following Aims. 1) Develop a theory-directed four-session, web-based tailored brief motivational intervention to prevent/reduce ARD among underage freshmen college students (i.e., aged 18 through 20 years). Recruitment and random assignment of study participants from the University of Michigan freshmen class to either a Tailored Brief Intervention (TBI) or web survey only (WSO) condition will occur in the first two months of one academic year. Participants in both conditions will be asked the same baseline, tailoring and follow-up questions and will visit the study website the same number of times, but only the TBI group will receive the tailored intervention sessions. TBI messages will be tailored on each TBI group member's demographics, ARD level, and behavior change characteristics, and tailoring information needed to formulate the intervention messages will be measured as needed during the four sessions. Both groups will be followed-up with a brief Web-based survey at six, 12, and 18 months. 2) evaluate the efficacy of the web-based TBI to reduce ARD by comparing the TBI and WSO groups on ARD outcomes at baseline, six, 12, and 18 months post intervention. The final sample size is planned to be 540. Intervention main effects and interactions with sex will be tested. 3) Identify the baseline ARD behaviors and attitudes of participants who: complete 1,2,3, and four intervention/control sessions on the Web; and complete the 6-, 12-, and 18-month follow-ups. The study will examine predictors of participation and dropout. If effective, the proposed intervention could be inexpensively modified to deliver effective interventions to large numbers of university students, members of other populations, and to target other health risk behaviors.
