DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): It is well established that heavy drinking by college students is a national concern. Effective interventions with students have been designed to reduce the personal and communal negative effects of global drinking (Carey et al., 2007; Larimer & Cronce, 2007). However, research suggests that within the broad college environment are windows of increased risk where potential for negative consequences is pronounced (Neighbors et al., 2007b). In addition, it is suggested that some groups of students may be more at-risk than others and targeted Interventions with these groups may be a necessary consideration to reduce the overall Impact of college drinking (NIAAA, 2002). Preliminary research with study abroad (SA) students documents Increased and problematic alcohol use during SA experiences. Despite increasing numbers of SA students each year and a growing concern about this high-risk event among SA program personnel, there is sparse research available documenting effective preventive programs with these students. Thus, the broad objective of this proposal is to examine the efficacy of brief online pre-departure alcohol Interventions with SA students to prevent heavy and problematic drinking while abroad. Preliminary research suggests that perceptions of SA peer drinking are a risk factor for increased alcohol use while abroad. Additionally, factors associated with cultural immersion, few adjustment difficulties, and active participation in the host culture (i.e., a "temporary acculturation (TA)") protect against heavy and problematic use. Therefore, using a 2x2 intervention design with an assessment only control condition, the present study seeks to prevent problematic alcohol use by correcting misperceptions of SA student norms and by promoting TA into the host culture through brief online personalized feedback interventions. Three intervention conditions of personalized normative feedback (PNF) only, temporary acculturation feedback (TAP) only, and combined PNF + TAP will be empirically examined. Interventions will be informed by collection of SA student drinking norms and TA components from a preliminary sample of SA students. The current project aims to meet the mission statement and strategic planning goals of the NIAAA to broaden the reach of alcohol interventions to targeted groups at-risk for heavy and problematic alcohol use, as well as address the public health concern of problematic drinking among an at-risk population lacking empirically supported intervention. The award would also aid in the ethical, methodological, and clinical training and development of a promising new researcher to address the growing need for empirically supported targeted alcohol interventions with at-risk and diverse college students and young adults.

描述（由申请人提供）：众所周知，大学生酗酒是一个全国性的问题。对学生的有效干预措施旨在减少全球饮酒对个人和社区的负面影响（Carey 等人，2007 年；Larimer 和 Cronce，2007 年）。然而，研究表明，在广泛的大学环境中存在着风险增加的窗口，其中潜在的负面后果是显而易见的（Neighbors 等人，2007b）。此外，有人认为，某些学生群体可能比其他学生面临更大的风险，对这些群体进行有针对性的干预可能是减少大学饮酒总体影响的必要考虑因素（NIAAA，2002）。对出国留学 (SA) 学生的初步研究记录了在 SA 经历期间饮酒增加和出现问题的情况。尽管南澳学生的数量每年都在增加，而且南澳项目人员对这种高风险事件的关注也越来越多，但很少有研究记录针对这些学生的有效预防计划。因此，该提案的总体目标是研究对南澳学生进行简短的在线出发前酒精干预措施以防止在国外酗酒和酗酒的效果。初步研究表明，对南澳同伴饮酒的看法是在国外饮酒增加的一个风险因素。此外，与文化沉浸、适应困难以及积极参与所在文化（即“临时文化适应（TA）”）相关的因素可以防止过度使用和有问题的使用。因此，本研究采用仅评估控制条件的 2x2 干预设计，旨在通过纠正对 SA 学生规范的误解并通过简短的在线个性化反馈干预措施促进 TA 融入当地文化，从而防止有问题的饮酒。将实证检验仅个性化规范反馈（PNF）、仅临时文化适应反馈（TAP）和组合 PNF + TAP 三种干预条件。干预措施将通过从南澳学生初步样本中收集南澳学生饮酒规范和助学成分来制定。当前的项目旨在实现 NIAAA 的使命宣言和战略规划目标，将酒精干预措施的范围扩大到有大量饮酒和问题饮酒风险的目标群体，并解决至少有问题的饮酒者的公共卫生问题。 -缺乏经验支持干预的风险人群。该奖项还将有助于对一位有前途的新研究人员进行伦理、方法和临床培训和发展，以满足对高危和多样化大学生和年轻人的经验支持的有针对性的酒精干预措施日益增长的需求。
