Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Participants will be students mandated to attend an alcohol program at a northeastern private university. All participants will receive Step 1, a 15-minute minimal intervention including a discussion of the referral incident and the provision of a booklet containing advice to reduce drinking. Participants will be assessed six weeks later, and those continuing to exhibit risky alcohol use will receive Step 2, randomization to: (a) a 60-90 minute brief motivational intervention (BMI) or (b) an assessment-only control. All students will complete 3, 6, and 9 month follow-up assessments. The three groups will be compared on two outcome measures: frequency of binge drinking episodes and alcohol-related problems in the past 30 days. Predictors of treatment response (readiness to change, alcohol expectancies, age of first drink, sensation seeking, descriptive norms, and reaction to the referral) will also be evaluated for both steps of the intervention. Research findings will assist college alcohol programs in determining the most effective and efficient allocation of their limited resources in treating mandated students. The long-term objectives of this research are to inform preventive intervention research about the utility and cost-effectiveness of stepped-care approaches and to identify individual and situational factors that qualify these effects.
