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

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目的主要目标是开发和实施一个特定事件的个性化反馈干预，用于通过短信提供的高风险饮酒事件期间的酒精滥用。具体目标拟议项目的主要研究目的是研究文本消息传递特定事件的个性化反馈干预（TXT PFI）在减少酒精使用和相关问题的大学生尾随时的有效性和可行性。知觉饮酒规范将作为干预效果的中介进行检查。方法一个双细胞随机对照试验将使用与参与者随机分配到无论是TXT PFI或短信酒精教育信息控制条件。干预措施将在活动当天通过短信进行，参与者将在干预措施实施后的一周内完成后续措施。一个更长的后续行动也将被用来确定干预效果的持续程度，并推广到典型的饮酒。培训目的在授予期间，申请人将接受随机临床试验干预方法的高级培训，获得基于技术的干预科学的广泛培训，还将获得分析纵向数据的培训。这将为申请人的职业生涯做好准备，专注于开发和实施有效的酒精滥用简短动机干预。该项目的结果将为大学生酒精滥用的预防和干预研究提供信息，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.
