“…Contrary to our hypothesis, EC interventions increased negative alcoholrelated expectancies among older, rather than younger, participants. One possible explanation for this finding is that many of these participants had prior experience with the negative effects of alcohol consumption and were ready (and able) to change their alcohol consumption behavior (B. T. Jones, 2004). An alternative explanation is that older college students have had simply more personal experience with negative alcohol-related outcomes (Gadon, Bruce, McConnochie, & Jones, 2004;Leigh & Stacy, 2004); thus, the EC intervention may have inadvertently triggered implicit negative alcohol expectancies.…”

“…Intervention success was measured with two outcomes: (a) alcohol expectancies and (b) alcohol consumption (quantity consumed, frequency of heavy drinking). Although EC interventions targeting negative alcohol expectancies have not been studied among college students, B. T. Jones andcolleagues (2001, 2004) have suggested a need to evaluate the efficacy of EC interventions on both positive and negative expectancies. Challenging positive alcohol expectancies may inadvertently strengthen participants' negative expectancies and possibly increase the number of negative expectancies endorsed.…”

Interventions challenging alcohol expectancies may lead to reductions in alcohol consumption. We conducted a meta-analysis to examine the efficacy of alcohol expectancy challenge (EC) interventions for college alcohol abuse prevention. Included were 14 studies (19 EC interventions) that measured alcohol expectancies and consumption, provided sufficient information to calculate effect sizes, and were available as of June 2010 (N = 1,415; M age = 20; 40% women; 88% White). Independent raters coded participant characteristics, design and methodological features, and intervention content, and calculated weighted mean effect sizes at first follow-up, using both fixed- and random-effects models. Compared to controls, EC participants reported lower positive alcohol expectancies, reduced their alcohol use, and reduced their frequency of heavy drinking (d+s ranged from 0.23 to 0.28). Within-group improvements in alcohol expectancies and consumption emerged for the EC group only; relative to their own baseline, EC participants reported lower positive alcohol expectancies, reduced their alcohol use, and reduced their frequency of heavy drinking (d+s range from 0.13 to 0.36). Supplemental analyses found improvements in specific alcohol expectancies (social, sexual, tension, and arousal) both between- and within-group. The short-term effects of EC interventions on college student drinking are not maintained at follow-ups greater than 4 weeks.

“…Given that positive alcohol expectancies predict higher alcohol use, and negative expectancies are associated with lower use (Jones, 2004;Leigh & Stacy, 2004), interventions have been devised to change these expectancies; they come in two forms. The first is based on experiential learning.…”

“…For PREVENT, the analysis shows large within-group ES at 3- and 6-month follow-ups whereas The STI Clinic intervention generally reported larger effects in the short-term. One possible explanation for these differences is methodological; that is, many of the participants in PREVENT had prior experiences with the negative effects of alcohol consumption and sexual risk behavior and may have been more receptive to change their behavior [61]. A second explanation for that the larger effect seen at 6-month follow-up in PREVENT is that it reflects the intervention dose (i.e., multiple vs. single-session intervention in The STI Clinic Study), this finding is consistent with previous studies [62].…”

Alcohol and Sexual Risk Reduction Interventions Among People Living in Russia: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Russia has one of the highest rates of alcohol consumption and is experiencing one of the fastest-growing HIV epidemics in the world. Given these co-occurring health problems, we systematically reviewed combined alcohol and sexual risk interventions to reduce HIV among Russians. We completed comprehensive electronic searches to locate studies that (a) sampled people living in Russia, (b) used a behavioral intervention, and (c) assessed both alcohol and sexual risk behavior. These searches yielded 584 studies, of these, 2 were included. Compared with controls, intervention participants reported increasing their condom use (ds ranged from 0.12 to 0.85). Within-group improvements in sexual behaviors were found for both groups (ds ranged from 0.19 to 1.94); participants reported fewer sexual partners, more condom use, and reduced alcohol or drug use before sex. These findings support the need and potential benefits for alcohol and HIV interventions among Russians, and suggest directions for public policy.
