Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Engagement in substance-free activities, such as exercise, has an inverse relationship to substance use in college students. While exercise has numerous physical and mental health benefits, the majority of college students are sedentary, infrequently engaging in exercise. Although exercise interventions to date often suffer from significant attrition and poor adherence, motivational interventions for exercise are beginning to show promise. In this pilot study we propose to develop and evaluate a novel exercise intervention combining Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET) with contingency management (CM) in sedentary college students who use alcohol.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

MET + CM for Exercise

Motivational Enhancement Therapy seeks to resolve ambivalence regarding exercise and increase intrinsic motivation to exercise. Contingency management offers tangible rewards for completing verified exercise.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

MET + CM for Exercise

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Motivational Enhancement Therapy seeks to resolve ambivalence regarding exercise and increase intrinsic motivation to exercise. Contingency management offers tangible rewards for completing verified exercise.

MET + Exercise Contracting

Motivational Enhancement Therapy seeks to resolve ambivalence regarding exercise and increase intrinsic motivation to exercise. Exercise contracting consists of weekly appointment to set specific goals for exercise in the upcoming week.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

MET + Exercise Contracting

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Motivational Enhancement Therapy seeks to resolve ambivalence regarding exercise and increase intrinsic motivation to exercise. Exercise contracting consists of weekly appointment to set specific goals for exercise in the upcoming week.
