Study Groups

Stage-tailored
At baseline and three months later
Stage-tailored intervention
Based on the Trans-Theoretical Model of intentional behavior change (TTM). According to their stage of change, participants received two computer generated feedback letters on their risky drinking, stage of change, processes of change, self-efficacy, and decisional balance. The first letter included normative feedback (interpersonal comparison with other individuals in the same stage), and was sent out by mail after baseline. The second letter included normative and ipsative feedback (intrapersonal comparisons: baseline vs. 3 months later), and was sent out by mail three months later.
Non-stage-tailored
At baseline and three months later
Non-stage-tailored Intervention
Based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). Participants received two computer generated feedback letters on their risky drinking, beliefs (behavioral, normative, control), attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, intention, and they were asked to fill in a where-when-how to change plan. The first letter included normative feedback (interpersonal comparison with other women/ men), and was sent out by mail after baseline. The second letter included normative and ipsative feedback, and was sent out by mail three months later.
