Alcohol interventions for Mandated Students (Project AIMS)

描述（由申请人提供）：大学生饮酒仍然是学生和社区健康和福祉的一个重大问题。虽然对大学生的研究普遍支持使用认知行为和动机干预来减少饮酒量和后果，但对强制学生（违反校园酒精政策后被转去干预的学生）的研究继续产生不同的结果。由于强制学生显然是大学校园的责任管理、风险管理、健康和安全问题，因此研究人员必须在最大限度地利用有限的校园资源的同时，确定有效的支持干预措施。目前的提案将比较酒精技能培训计划（ASTP）组、大学生酒精简短筛查和干预（BASICS）反馈会议和酒精转移计划（ADP）照例治疗教育组在一个大样本（N = 300）的强制大学生中随机分配到干预组和等候名单对照组。本研究的主要目的是调查强制性学生干预措施的有效性，同时考虑治疗延迟的影响以及结果的中介和调节因素。实际上，这项研究将为与强制学生合作的高等教育机构的决策提供信息。本研究探索有时间限制和具有成本效益的替代方案，以最大限度地提高成果，同时减少校园和社区资源的负担。此外，审查个别因素将通过确定哪些干预措施对哪些学生最有效，为制裁指导方针提供信息。该计划也将为有前途的临床研究人员提供机会，在攻读博士学位的同时，通过伦理、方法学和临床培训和发展，加强她的科学家-实践者基础。目前的项目与国家酒精滥用和酒精中毒研究所（NI/\AA）的使命相关，因为它建议对高风险人群进行酒精治疗方面的严格合作研究。此外，该提案将包括在合作大学进行niaaa定义的一级干预措施的培训和实施，同时促进职业生涯早期酒精研究人员的专业发展、临床专业知识和传播技能。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Alcohol use by college students continues to be a significant concern for the health and well being of both Students and communities. While research with college students generally supports the use of cognitive behavioral and motivational interventions in reducing drinking quantities and consequences, research with mandated students (students referred for an intervention following violation of a campus alcohol policy) continues to produce mixed results. As mandated students are clearly a liability-management, risk- management, and health and safety concern on college campuses, it is imperative that researchers identify supported interventions with demonstrated effectiveness while maximizing limited campus resources. The current proposal will compare Alcohol Skills Training Program (ASTP) groups, Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention for College Students (BASICS) feedback sessions, and Alcohol Diversion Program (ADP) treatment-as-usual education groups in a large sample (N = 300) of mandated college students randomly assigned into intervention and wait-list control groups. The primary aim of the proposed research is to investigate the effectiveness of interventions for mandated students while considering the impact of treatment delay and putative mediators and moderators of outcome. Practically, this research will inform decisions at higher education facilities working with mandated students. This research explores time-limited and cost-effective alternatives to maximize outcomes while reducing the burden on campus and community resources. Further, examining individual factors will inform sanctioning guidelines by identifying which interventions are most effective for which students. This proposal will also provide a promising clinical researcher the opportunity to strengthen her scientist-practitioner foundation through ethical, methodological, and clinical training and development while pursing a doctoral degree. The current project is relevant to the mission of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NI/\AA) as it proposes conducting rigorous collaborative research in alcohol treatment with a high-risk population. Further, this proposal will include training in and implementation of NIAAA-defined Tier 1 interventions at the collaborating university, while facilitating the professional development, clinical expertise, and dissemination skills of an early-career alcohol researcher.
