项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Approximately 45% of the 8 million U.S. college students are regular heavy drinkers and are at high risk for health and social problems. Heavy drinkers are less engaged in academics, community service, and other constructive aspects of college life. Although brief motivational interventions (BMIs) have demonstrated success in reducing college student alcohol abuse, many students do not respond to existing BMIs. This translational research will develop a novel supplement to BMIs that is based on a coherent body of theoretical, laboratory, epidemiological, and clinical research which suggests that reductions in substance use are most likely when there is an increase in reinforcement from substance-free alternative activities. Existing BMIs for alcohol focus on reducing drinking through motivational feedback and therapeutic techniques, information about the effects of alcohol, and drinking moderation advice. The proposed addition to BMI will facilitate the drinking reduction goal by increasing participation in substance-free academic, volunteer, and recreational activities. The Substance-Free Activity Supplement (SFAS) is a single session that follows the standard BMI session and includes a discussion of academic/career goals, feedback on time allocation patterns, and personalized information about available substance-free activities that are consistent with the student's interests. Stage 1 of this research will include manual development and revisions based on focus groups, a small open trial (N = 15), and participant and expert feedback. Stage 2 will include a randomized 2-group (BMI + SFAS vs. BMI + Relaxation Control) pilot trial with 70 first-year students (50% female, 40% minority) who report recent heavy drinking. Outcomes will include changes in drinking and substance-free activities 1-month and 1-semester post-intervention. The pilot trial will provide information on the feasibility and acceptability of the SFAS with college drinkers, and preliminary data on the efficacy of the SFAS in reducing drinking and increasing participation in substance-free activities. Public Health Relevance: Approximately 45% of the 8 million U.S. college students drink heavily and are at risk for social, academic, and health problems. Existing interventions are effective for some students, but many students do not reduce their drinking. The goal of this research is to improve these interventions by adding a session focused on increasing engagement in academics and other constructive alternatives to alcohol use.

描述（由申请人提供）：800 万美国大学生中约有 45% 经常酗酒，并且面临健康和社会问题的高风险。酗酒者较少参与学术、社区服务和大学生活的其他建设性方面。尽管简短的动机干预 (BMI) 已证明可以成功减少大学生酗酒，但许多学生对现有的 BMI 没有反应。这项转化研究将开发一种新的 BMI 补充，该补充基于理论、实验室、流行病学和临床研究的连贯体系，表明当无物质替代活动的强化增加时，最有可能减少物质使用。现有的酒精 BMI 侧重于通过动机反馈和治疗技术、有关酒精影响的信息以及适度饮酒建议来减少饮酒。拟议增加的 BMI 将通过增加对无物质学术、志愿者和娱乐活动的参与来促进减少饮酒的目标。无物质活动补充 (SFAS) 是一个遵循标准 BMI 课程的单一课程，包括学术/职业目标的讨论、时间分配模式的反馈以及与学生一致的可用无物质活动的个性化信息。兴趣。该研究的第一阶段将包括基于焦点小组、小型公开试验（N = 15）以及参与者和专家反馈的手册开发和修订。第二阶段将包括一项随机 2 组（BMI + SFAS 与 BMI + 放松控制）试点试验，试验对象为 70 名报告最近酗酒的一年级学生（50% 为女性，40% 为少数族裔）。结果将包括干预后 1 个月和 1 学期饮酒和无物质活动的变化。该试点试验将提供有关 SFAS 对大学饮酒者的可行性和可接受性的信息，以及有关 SFAS 在减少饮酒和增加参与无物质活动方面的功效的初步数据。公共健康相关性：800 万美国大学生中约有 45% 酗酒，面临社交、学业和健康问题的风险。现有的干预措施对一些学生有效，但许多学生并没有减少饮酒。这项研究的目标是通过增加一个专注于增加学术参与度和其他建设性饮酒替代方案的会议来改进这些干预措施。
