PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

Total scores on an alcohol problems scale. Possible score range = 0-92. Higher scores are indicative of more alcohol-related problems.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

Perceived drinking among other students, represented by standardized scores on the Drinking Norms Rating Form. Higher values indicate that the individual perceives higher levels of drinking among other students. Because the scores are standardized their is no hypothetical minimum or maximum, and the scale is standardized with a mean of 0 and standard deviation of 1. So, a mean value of 1.52 means that participants in that condition had an average score that was 1.52 standard deviation above the overall mean of the sample.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

Use of protective behavioral strategies related to alcohol use. Higher scores indicate more use of the strategies. A total score was calculated by summing the three subscale scores on the measure (range = 3-18).
