A modified version of the Daily Drinking Questionnaire (Collins, Parks, & Marlatt, 1985) allowed calculation of drinks per typical week and mean drinks per drinking day. Participants estimated the maximum number of drinks consumed in a single day and the number of hours spent drinking on that day (allowing calculation of peak BAC).…”

In this randomized controlled trial, the authors evaluated brief motivational interventions (BMIs) for at-risk college drinkers. Heavy drinking students (N = 509; 65% women, 35% men) were randomized into 1 of 6 intervention conditions formed by crossing baseline timeline followback (TLFB) interview (present versus absent) and intervention type (basic BMI, BMI enhanced with a decisional balance module, or none). Assessments completed at baseline, 1, 6, and 12 months measured typical and risky drinking as well as drinking-related problems. Relative to controls, the TLFB interview reduced consumption but not problems at 1 month. The basic BMI improved all drinking outcomes beyond the effects of the TLFB at 1 month, whereas the enhanced BMI did not. Risk reduction achieved by brief interventions maintained throughout the follow-up year.Keywords brief intervention; college drinking; alcohol abuse prevention; decisional balance; timeline assessment Many college students engage in dangerous patterns of alcohol use. Although most have not yet achieved the legal drinking age, about 70% of college students report drinking alcohol in the last month (O'Malley & Johnston, 2002). Their drinking patterns are often characterized by episodic but heavy drinking; as many as 44% of college students report recent heavy drinking (5 or more drinks an occasion for men, 4 or more drinks for women), and 42% of women and 55% of men report that "getting drunk" is an important reason for drinking .Heavy drinking among college students can result in an array of negative consequences. College drinkers frequently reported doing something they regretted (35%), missing a class (30%), driving after drinking (29%), and forgetting where they were or what they did (27%) after drinking . Some also report more severe consequences, such as getting hurt or injured (13%), damaging property (11%), or engaging in unprotected sex because of alcohol use (10%). Tragically, 1,400 college students die each year from injuries related to alcohol use (Hingson, Heeren, Zakocs, Kopstein, & Wechsler, 2002). Other students are also affected by having their sleep or studies disrupted, being insulted or humiliated, and receiving unwanted sexual advances from intoxicated students . Consequences of excessive drinking interfere with the academic and social missions of colleges and universities.Correspondence concerning this article should be addressed to Kate B.

“…The survey asked women to report on their experiences during their first full year at university (i.e., prior to beginning the current academic year). Several standardized and well-established measures were used to assess alcohol use (Daily Drinking Questionnaire [DDQ]; Collins, Parks, & Marlatt, 1985), alcohol-related negative consequences (Rutgers Alcohol Problem Index [RAPI]; RaskinWhite & Labouvie, 1989), physical and sexual violence (range from mugging through assault with a weapon and rape; National Crime Victim Survey; US Dept. of Justice, 1993), and sexual aggression (adapted from the Sexual Experiences Survey [SES]; Koss, Gidycz, & Wisniewski, 1987).…”

Temporal relationships among alcohol use, aggression, and mood were assessed using daily data from 179 college women. Participants called an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system over an 8-week period. The odds of experiencing verbal, sexual and physical aggression (ORs = 2.25, 19.44, 11.84, respectively) were significantly higher on heavy drinking days (M = 7.46 drinks), compared to non-drinking days. Both a history of victimization and greater psychological symptom severity influenced the odds of involvement in verbal aggression. The odds of alcohol consumption were three times higher during the 24 hours following verbal aggression compared with days in which verbal aggression did not occur. On the day immediately following involvement in either verbal or physical aggression, positive mood decreased and negative mood increased. During the week (2-7 days) following sexual aggression women's positive mood was decreased. These findings reinforce the need for interventions aimed at reducing heavy episodic drinking on college campuses.

This research evaluated the efficacy of a computerized, freshmen-specific personalized normative feedback (PNF) intervention on reducing alcohol consumption among high-risk drinking freshmen. Students (N = 316; 53.8% female) completed measures of perceived drinking norms and drinking behavior. After completing the baseline assessment, students were randomly assigned to receive either freshmen-specific PNF that was gender-specific or gender-neutral, or to assessment only control. Findings demonstrated that students exhibited normative misperceptions for typical freshmen drinking behavior and that perceptions of typical same-sex freshmen drinking were positively associated with riskier drinking behavior. At follow-up, students randomly assigned to receive PNF reduced perceptions of typical freshmen drinking behavior and personal drinking behavior relative to those who did not receive PNF. Findings extend previous evaluations of computer-based PNF and suggest that computer-based PNF for incoming freshmen using utilizing freshmen-specific norms that are gender-specific may constitute a promising prevention strategy.
