Brief Summary

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

This study evaluates within-person and between-person effects of a personalized normative feedback intervention and injunctive norms as they are altered by self-determination in heavy drinkers. Half of participants will receive personalized normative feedback and the other half will receive control feedback about media use habits.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Half of participants will be randomly assigned to receive personalized normative feedback about their drinking. The other half will be randomly assigned to receive control feedback about social media use.
Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

DOUBLE

Participants Investigators
Participants will be assigned to and receive feedback via the computer. Once they have received feedback a research assistant will print this feedback for them to take home. At this time, research assistants will become unblinded to condition, but will not administer any new procedures other than answering participant questions.

Study Groups

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

Alcohol-Specific Personalized Normative Feedback

Participants will receive feedback about their average number of days on which alcohol was consumed, average drinks per occasion, and average number of drinks per week. This feedback will include the participant's averages reported at baseline, the participant's descriptive norm of others' averages (what they think others drank), and actual others' drinking. Feedback will be about other students at their university of the same sex.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Alcohol-Specific Personalized Normative Feedback

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants will receive personalized normative feedback about drinking.

Social Media Personalized Normative Feedback

Participants will receive feedback about their number of hours texting, on social media websites, and playing video games. This feedback will include the participant's averages reported at baseline, the participant's descriptive norm of others' averages (what they think others did), and actual others' behavior. Feedback will be about other students at their university of the same sex.
