This study tests the optimization and delivery feasibility of personalized feedback interventions to address harmful alcohol use among college students.
Full description
This study builds upon the latest alcohol intervention literature to develop and test the next wave of personalized feedback interventions (PFIs) to address harmful alcohol use among college students. The purpose of this research is to determine optimal configuration of PFIs to take advantage of the clarity and initial impact of single-component PFIs and greater effect size and duration of personalized multi-component PFIs. The Investigators seek to increase and evaluate engagement with the PFI and text-message materials and boost innovation of both content and process of the intervention. In addition to PFI content and delivery, the investigators will use qualitative and quantitative methods to determine personal relevance of the chosen high-risk events among a sample of students who engage in heavy episodic drinking to better understand duration of PFI effects impacted by fluctuations in drinking associated with high-risk events. Prior interventions have targeted drinking in general or a single high-risk drinking event (e.g., Spring Break), but have not targeted both general and event-specific drinking together. These enhanced intervention effects, could have a significant impact on risks associated with college student drinking, and can be rapidly disseminated and implemented on campuses nationwide to address the public health problem posed by heavy episodic drinking among college students.
This study conducts a screening/baseline assessment to collect quantitative data on high risk drinking situations and related norms and screens participants for eligibility for the Pilot Feasibility Study. The purpose of the Pilot Feasibility Study is to test the feasibility of sending participants web-based personalized feedback targeting their general drinking behavior in a single dose (Simultaneous) versus broken up into 4 components administered one week apart (Sequential) with half of participants in each group also being randomly selected to receive a text message booster component targeting drinking during their upcoming birthday celebration.
