Personalized Drinking Feedback: An Event-Specific Text-Message Intervention

描述（由申请人提供）：本项目的总体目标是开发和实施一种针对高风险饮酒事件中酒精滥用的个性化反馈干预措施。该项目的主要研究目的是检验短信发送事件特定个性化反馈干预（TXT PFI）在减少大学生尾随时酒精使用和相关问题的有效性和可行性。感知饮酒规范将作为干预效果的中介进行检验。方法采用双细胞随机对照试验，随机分为TXT PFI组和短信酒精教育信息组。干预措施将在活动当天通过短信发送，参与者将在干预措施发送后一周完成后续措施。还将利用更长的随访来确定干预效果持续和推广到典型饮酒的程度。在获奖期间，申请人将接受随机临床试验干预方法学的高级培训，接受基于科学技术的干预方面的广泛培训，并接受纵向数据分析方面的培训。这将为申请人的职业生涯做好准备，重点是制定和实施有效的简短动机干预酒精滥用。本项目的研究结果将为预防和干预大学生酒精滥用的研究提供信息，并对短信干预措施的最终翻译和传播产生影响。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The broad goal of this project is to develop and implement an event-specific Personalized Feedback Intervention for alcohol misuse during a high-risk drinking event delivered via text message. Specific Aims the primary research aim of the proposed project is to examine the efficacy and feasibility of a text message-delivered event-specific Personalized Feedback Intervention (TXT PFI) in reducing alcohol use and related-problems among college students when tailgating. Perceived drinking norms will be examined as a mediator of intervention effects. Method A two cell randomized controlled trial will be used with participants randomly assigned to either the TXT PFI or a text message alcohol educational information control condition. The intervention will be delivered via text message the day of the event and participants will complete follow-up measures the week after the intervention is delivered. A longer follow-up will also be utilized to determine the extent to which intervention effects are sustained and generalize to typical drinking. Training Aims During the period of award, the applicant will undergo advanced training in the methodology of randomized clinical trial interventions, obtain extensive training in the science of technology based interventions, will also obtain training in analyzing longitudinal data. This will prepare th applicant for a career focused on developing and implementing efficacious brief motivational interventions for alcohol misuse. Significance Results from this project will inform research on prevention and intervention for alcohol misuse among college students and have implications for the eventual translation and dissemination of text message interventions.
