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）：在800万美国大学生中，约有45％是常规的饮酒者，并且面临健康和社会问题的高风险。大量饮酒者从事学者，社区服务和大学生活的其他建设性方面的参与程度较小。尽管简短的动机干预措施（BMI）在减少大学生滥用酗酒方面取得了成功，但许多学生对现有的BMI没有反应。这项翻译研究将开发出对BMI的新颖补充，该补充基于理论，实验室，流行病学和临床研究的连贯体系，这表明当无物质替代活动增强的增强剂量增加时，最有可能减少物质使用的方法。现有的酒精BMI专注于通过动机反馈和治疗技术，有关酒精影响的信息以及饮酒适度建议来减少饮酒。拟议中的BMI增加将通过增加参与无物质学术，志愿者和娱乐活动的参与来促进减少饮酒目标。无物质活动补充剂（SFA）是一项遵循标准BMI会议的单一会议，包括对学术/职业目标的讨论，时间分配模式的反馈以及有关与学生利益一致的无物质活动的个性化信息。这项研究的第1阶段将包括基于焦点小组的手动开发和修订，一个小的开放试验（n = 15）以及参与者和专家反馈。第2阶段将包括一项随机2组（BMI + SFAS与BMI +放松控制）试验试验，有70名一年级学生（50％女性，40％的少数族裔）报告最近饮酒。结局将包括1个月和1个学期干预后的饮酒和无物质活动的变化。试点试验将提供有关SFA与大学饮酒者的可行性和可接受性的信息，以及有关SFA在减少饮酒和增加无物质活动参与的疗效的初步数据。公共卫生相关性：在800万美国大学生中，大约有45％的饮酒量，面临社会，学术和健康问题的风险。现有的干预措施对某些学生有效，但是许多学生不会减少饮酒。这项研究的目的是通过添加专注于增加参与学者和其他建设性饮酒的替代方案来改善这些干预措施。
