DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This two-year research proposal applies behavioral science to the systematic study of fraternity party environments in order to identify specific factors related to excessive alcohol consumption and intoxication of partygoers. The target population is university students (n=4,800) attending fraternity-sponsored parties (n=48) at a large university. The primary dependent variable is blood alcohol concentration (BAC) obtained from partygoers from 12:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. -- a peak time for most fraternity parties. The overarching practical objective of the proposed research is to identify environmental factors that can be used to develop policies and cost-effective prevention strategies for reducing excessive alcohol consumption and its concomitant negative effects among university students at social gatherings. The specific aims of this research are to: a) identify environmental factors related to excessive alcohol consumption at fraternity parties, b) identify and propose policy-related intervention strategies to address these environmental factors on a large scale, and c) explore ways to improve compliance with those university policies and guidelines for party drinking that significantly reduce at-risk drinking and intoxication, as determined objectively by the proposed research. Thus, the proposed research will not only provide an epidemiological analysis of environment-behavior and person-behavior relations related to excessive alcohol consumption at fraternity parties, but will derive a list of specific and feasible recommendations universities can use to decrease alcohol consumption at campus parties and thereby improve the safety of their students.

描述（由申请人提供）：这项为期两年的研究计划将行为科学应用于兄弟会聚会环境的系统研究，以确定与聚会常客过度饮酒和中毒相关的具体因素。目标人群是在一所大型大学参加兄弟会赞助的聚会 (n=48) 的大学生 (n=4,800)。主要因变量是从中午 12:00 至凌晨 1:00（大多数兄弟会聚会的高峰时间）从参加派对的人那里获得的血液酒精浓度 (BAC)。拟议研究的总体实际目标是确定环境因素，可用于制定政策和具有成本效益的预防策略，以减少大学生在社交聚会中过度饮酒及其带来的负面影响。本研究的具体目的是：a）确定与兄弟会聚会过度饮酒相关的环境因素，b）确定并提出与政策相关的干预策略，以大规模解决这些环境因素，以及c）探索改善的方法遵守大学关于派对饮酒的政策和指南，根据拟议的研究客观确定，这些政策和指南可显着减少饮酒和中毒的风险。因此，拟议的研究不仅将提供与兄弟会聚会中过度饮酒相关的环境行为和人行为关系的流行病学分析，还将得出一系列具体可行的建议，大学可以用来减少校园聚会中的饮酒量从而提高学生的安全。
