Brief Summary

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

Tertiary Health Research Intervention Via Email (THRIVE; Kypri et al., 2009), originally utilized with Australian students, is unique in that it contains efficacious components derived from motivational interviewing (e.g., personalized feedback) and cognitive behavioral therapy (protective behavioral strategies), yet is very brief and has established efficacy. This study aims to test versions of THRIVE tailored to American college students. In addition to replicating original results with THRIVE, we will also test versions containing unique subsets of protective behavioral strategies to reduce alcohol consumption. The primary hypothesis is that versions of THRIVE will be associated with lower overall alcohol consumption than an assessment and brief brochure control condition.

Study Groups

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

THRIVE replication

Participants in this condition receive THRIVE with a full list of direct and indirect protective behavioral strategies to reduce alcohol consumption.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

THRIVE

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

THRIVE stands for (Tertiary Health Research Intervention Via Email). Participants complete questions related to demographics and their alcohol use and receive brief personalized feedback based on this information, in addition to protective behavioral strategies, facts about alcohol and information about available resources to reduce their alcohol use.

THRIVE direct strategies

Participants in this condition receive THRIVE including a subset of protective behavioral strategies that are directly related to alcohol drinking.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

THRIVE

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

THRIVE stands for (Tertiary Health Research Intervention Via Email). Participants complete questions related to demographics and their alcohol use and receive brief personalized feedback based on this information, in addition to protective behavioral strategies, facts about alcohol and information about available resources to reduce their alcohol use.

THRIVE indirect strategies

Participants in this condition receive THRIVE including a subset of protective behavioral strategies that are indirectly related to alcohol drinking.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

THRIVE

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

THRIVE stands for (Tertiary Health Research Intervention Via Email). Participants complete questions related to demographics and their alcohol use and receive brief personalized feedback based on this information, in addition to protective behavioral strategies, facts about alcohol and information about available resources to reduce their alcohol use.

Brief brochure and assessment control

Participants will answer the same survey questions as participants in the THRIVE conditions, but will receive a brief alcohol-related brochure with only didactic content rather than the intervention components received by participants randomized to THRIVE conditions.
