DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Parents continue to exert significant influence on their child's alcohol-related attitudes and behavior while in college, particularly via protective factor such as alcohol-specific communication and parental monitoring. Only a small number of studies, employing limited types of modalities and content (e.g., mailed parent handbooks and social media campaigns), have evaluated the efficacy of parent-based interventions (PBIs). These studies have documented the benefits of brief PBIs to reduce alcohol risk among college students, though their modest effects have led to calls to develop, refine and evaluate new PBIs. Further, parents typically underestimate their own child's alcohol use and approval of drinking behaviors. In addition, parents overestimate how approving other college parents are towards their child's alcohol use, and underestimate how proactive other parents are in talking to their college-aged students about alcohol. Social norms theory predicts that these misperceptions contribute to parents holding more permissive attitudes toward drinking in the college environment, while also decreasing parental motivation to become involved with the issue. Moreover, parents' attitudes are reliably linked to their child's own alcohol-related attitudes and behaviors in college. Thus, correcting parents' misperceptions via normative feedback is likely to reinforce parental disapproval of excessive drinking and produce greater quality and frequency of communication and monitoring. The proposed study seeks to evaluate the effects of the Parent FIT START (Parent Feedback Intervention Targeting Students' Transitions & Alcohol Risk Trajectories) project that will be delivered to groups of parents during summer orientation sessions to (1) reduce parents' normative misperceptions of other parents' attitudes and their own child's drinking while reinforcing the importance of maintaining dialogue with their child about parental alcohol-related attitudes and expectations, and (2) subsequently impact students' alcohol risk across the first-year of college. During orientation, intervention condition parents (with children of the same gender) will receive interactive normative feedback derived live in their group setting pertaining to other parents' approval levels regarding their child's drinking in college, along with feedback about the drinking behaviors of typical LMU first-year students (same gender as their child). Normative feedback will be presented using novel interactive wireless handheld clicker technology recently shown by PI LaBrie to immediately correct normative misperceptions and reduce permissive alcohol-related attitudes and risky behaviors among students. This approach is well supported in theory and practice and the novel extension to parents is expected to promote more disapproving parental attitudes towards alcohol use as well as increase active, informed and sustained parental dialogue with their incoming student about alcohol-related issues. Enhanced communication of parent attitudes and monitoring will, in turn, influence the attitudes of the child and result in less risky alcoholuse in college in comparison to control group peers.

描述（由申请人提供）：在大学期间，父母继续对孩子与酒精相关的态度和行为产生重大影响，尤其是通过防护因素，例如酒精特定的交流和父母的监测。只有少数研究采用有限类型的方式和内容（例如，邮寄的父母手册和社交媒体活动），已经评估了基于父母的干预措施（PBIS）的疗效。这些研究记录了简短的PBI的好处，减少大学生的酒精风险，尽管它们的谦虚效果导致了开发，完善和评估新PBI的呼吁。此外，父母通常低估了自己孩子的酒精使用和饮酒行为的认可。此外，父母高估了其他大学父母对孩子的饮酒方式的认可，并低估了其他父母与大学生有关酒精的积极主动。社会规范理论预测，这些误解导致父母在大学环境中持有更宽松的态度​​，同时也减少了父母参与该问题的动机。此外，父母的态度可靠地与孩子自己与酒精有关的态度和大学的行为有可靠的联系。因此，通过规范反馈来纠正父母的误解可能会加强父母对过度饮酒的反对，并产生更高的质量和沟通和监测频率。拟议的研究旨在评估父母适合开始的效果（父母反馈干预措施针对学生的过渡和酒精风险轨迹）项目，该项目将在 （1）夏季定位会议减少了父母对其他父母态度的规范性误解和自己的孩子的饮酒，同时加强了与孩子就父母酒精相关的态度和期望进行对话的重要性，（2）随后在大学一年级的学生风险中影响学生的酒精风险。在入学期间，干预条件的父母（与同一性别的孩子）将获得与其他父母在大学里饮酒有关的互动规范反馈，以及与其他父母的认可水平有关的，以及有关典型LMU一年级学生的饮酒行为的反馈（与孩子相同）。 Pi Labrie最近显示的新型互动无线手持式点击器技术将提出规范反馈，以立即纠正规范性误解，并减少学生与允许酒精相关的态度和学生的风险行为。这种方法在理论和实践中得到了很好的支持，预计父母的新颖延伸将促进对饮酒的父母态度的更多不赞成，并增加与他们的学生有关酒精相关问题的积极，知情和持续的父母对话。与对照组相比，与对照组相比，加强父母态度和监测的沟通将影响孩子的态度，并导致大学饮酒风险较小。
