DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The U.S. Surgeon General and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services identified heavy drinking among college students as a major public health problem. Existing interventions generally provide alcohol education focusing on skills building, rather than tailored individualized behavior change. Harm reduction programs that do focus on behavior change have not taken advantage of the Internet, a widely used, low- cost, and effective delivery channel for health promotion. In addition, there is a lack of tailored, population- based interventions for students who have not started drinking at high-risk levels. This Phase I research proposes the development of an innovative, efficacious, and cost-effective Internet-based program that is intended to reduce high-risk drinking among college students who have already begun drinking at dangerous levels; prevent students who do not currently drink at dangerous levels from beginning to do so, based on their level of risk; and promote effective behavioral strategies to reduce alcohol-related harm in colleges. This evidence-based, individualized, interactive program based on the Transtheoretical Model (TTM) and delivered by colleges to their students via the Internet or Intranet, can have substantial impacts on alcohol consumption and problems. There are several reasons for colleges to purchase this program. Market research has found that colleges want self-guided interventions that do not require active faculty participation. The program is also cost-effective, confidential, and easy to use so that the buyer does not handle data collection, storage or administrative tasks. An experienced team of alcohol, TTM, and education researchers will develop TTM measures followed by a pilot intervention created with input from an expert panel and key stakeholders. Experts and focus groups of students and faculty will evaluate the program. Fifty pilot participants will test the usability, feasibility, and acceptability of the program. This research will be supported by resources that have enabled 15 SBIRs that have resulted thus far in 8 commercial products. Relevance: Reducing heavy drinking among college students is a national health priority. This research proposes to develop an innovative, science-based, cost effective, Internet-based intervention to reduce high- risk drinking among college students who are already drinking at dangerous levels, prevent students who are not drinking at high levels from starting, and promote healthy strategies to alcohol-related harm.

描述（由申请人提供）：美国卫生局局长和美国卫生与公众服务部认为大学生酗酒是一个主要的公共卫生问题。现有的干预措施通常提供侧重于技能培养的酒精教育，而不是量身定制的个性化行为改变。专注于行为改变的减少危害计划并未利用互联网这一广泛使用、低成本且有效的健康促进传播渠道。此外，缺乏针对尚未开始高风险饮酒的学生的针对性的、基于人群的干预措施。该第一阶段研究建议开发一种创新、有效且具有成本效益的基于互联网的计划，旨在减少已经开始饮酒达到危险水平的大学生的高风险饮酒；根据风险水平，防止目前未达到危险水平饮酒的学生开始这样做；促进有效的行为策略，以减少大学中与酒精相关的伤害。这种基于跨理论模型 (TTM) 的循证、个性化、互动项目，由大学通过互联网或内联网向学生提供，可以对酒精消费和问题产生重大影响。大学购买这个项目有几个原因。市场研究发现，大学希望采取自我引导的干预措施，而不需要教师的积极参与。该程序还具有成本效益、保密且易于使用，因此买方无需处理数据收集、存储或管理任务。由酒精、TTM 和教育研究人员组成的经验丰富的团队将制定 TTM 措施，然后根据专家小组和主要利益相关者的意见进行试点干预。专家以及学生和教师的焦点小组将对该计划进行评估。五十名试点参与者将测试该计划的可用性、可行性和可接受性。这项研究将得到已启用 15 个 SBIR 的资源的支持，这些资源迄今已产生 8 种商业产品。相关性：减少大学生酗酒是国家健康的首要任务。本研究建议开发一种创新的、基于科学的、具有成本效益的、基于互联网的干预措施，以减少已经饮酒达到危险水平的大学生的高风险饮酒，防止饮酒水平不高的学生开始饮酒，并促进应对酒精相关危害的健康策略。
