Alcohol-Related Problems Among College Students

描述(申请人提供)：建议研究的目标是实施和评估一项综合干预措施，该干预措施将影响社区和校园环境的环境变化，以减少大学生与酒精有关的问题的发生率。为了实现这一目标，这项拟议的研究有三个具体目标：1.借鉴调查人员和其他人之前的工作，设计和完善双管齐下的干预措施，重点是改变社区和校园环境，以减少大学生中的酗酒和酗酒问题。2.在五个干预校园及周边社区高强度、高保真度地实施干预。3.采用随机化实验设计，使用“客观”指标(例如，酒精相关伤害率，其他？)来评估评估的影响。关于酒精使用和酒精相关事件的报告以及学生的自我报告和宿舍居民顾问关于酒精使用和与酒精有关的事件的报告。 南卡罗来纳州的10所学院和大学将被选中和招聘。在这十所学校中，将建立五对配对，每对中的一所学校将被随机分配到干预组或控制组。在五所干预学校和周围社区，将进行一项详细的研究，以确定他们目前正在做些什么来控制问题饮酒，并将与学院和社区合作制定一项定制计划，目标是在五所校园和社区实施非常相似的酒精预防干预措施，为期三年(2-4年级)。在第二年，将随机抽取一名新生作为纵向研究样本，并将在他们大四期间每年参与一次基于网络的调查。此外，每年将对所有其他学生进行两次基于网络的重复横断面调查。从第二年到第五年，问题饮酒行为数据还将每年从纪实居民顾问以及学生健康、学生服务、校园警察和当地执法部门收集四次。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the proposed research is to implement and evaluate a comprehensive intervention that will effect environmental changes in the community and campus environment to reduce the incidence of alcohol-related problems among college students. To achieve this goal, the proposed study has three specific aims: 1. Drawing on previous work by the investigators and others, design and refine a two prongedintervention focused on changing both the community and campus environments to reduce alcoholuse and alcohol problems among college students. 2. Implement this intervention with a high degree of intensity and fidelity in five intervention campusesand surrounding communities. 3. Evaluate the impact of the evaluation using a randomized experimental design using "objective"measures (e.g., alcohol-related injury rates, others?) of alcohol use and alcohol-related incidences and students' self-reports and dormitory resident advisors' reports of alcohol use and alcohol-related incidents. Ten colleges and universities in South Carolina will be selected and recruited. From the ten schools fivematched pairs will be established and one school from each pair will be randomly assigned to either theintervention or control group. In the five intervention schools and surrounding communities a detailed study will occur to determine what they are currently doing to control problem drinking and a customized plan will be developed in collaboration with the college and community, with the goal of implementing very similar alcohol prevention interventions across the five campuses and communities for three years (years 2-4). In year two a random sample of freshman will be selected for a longitudinal study sample and will participate in web based surveys once a year through their senior year. Also, repeated cross sectional web based surveys will be conducted twice a year on all other students. Problem drinking behavior data will also be collected four times a year from documentary resident advisors, as well as from student health, student services, campus police and local law enforcement in years two through five.
