“…9,[20][21][22] Programs that offer information tailored to an individual student are more effective than general educational seminars and programs. 23,24 Strategies for delivering alcohol education have been identified and garnered empirical support when used with college students. Examples include a variety of commercially available computer-delivered interventions [24][25][26] Both interventions use personalized feedback on quantity and/or frequency of alcohol use, perceptions of normative behaviors among peer groups, and the personal and social consequences of alcohol use.…”

Objective. To identify reasons for drinking, determine the patterns of alcohol abuse, and explore relationships between drinking motives and alcohol abuse patterns in pharmacy students. Methods. A cross-sectional anonymous, voluntary, self-administered paper survey instrument was administered to first-year (P1) through third-year (P3) pharmacy students as part of a professional seminar.Results. Survey instruments were completed by 349 pharmacy students (95.9% cooperation rate). Using the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test criteria, 23.2% of students reported hazardous or harmful use and 67.2% of students reported consuming alcohol at hazardous levels during the past year. Students who were male (37.0%), single (25.3%), and attended the main campus (26.2%) were more likely than their counterparts to report hazardous or harmful alcohol use. Pharmacy students reported social motives as the most common reason for drinking; however, coping and enhancement motives were more predictive of harmful or hazardous alcohol use. Conclusion. Approximately 1 in 4 pharmacy students (23%) reported hazardous or harmful alcohol use. Education about the dangers of alcohol abuse and intervention programs from colleges and schools of pharmacy are recommended to help address this issue.

“…Over the past several years web-based alcohol intervention programs (or e-Interventions) have proliferated (see Walters, Miller, & Chiauzzi, 2005 for a detailed description). E-Interventions are likely less expensive than in-person programs, can provide a degree of confidentiality, and offer a relatively simple way to collect information about student alcohol use and related risks.…”

The first year of college is a unique transition period, in which the student establishes a college identity and social network. Alcohol use is often part of this process, and many first-year college students develop a pattern of heavy drinking that puts them at risk for adverse consequences during their college years and into young adulthood. To better understand the development of risky alcohol use during this transition, we reviewed the literature on influences on college drinking and identified moderators and mediators that were particularly relevant for first-year alcohol use. As the transition from high school to college presents a unique opportunity for intervention, we discuss how these moderators and mediators can inform alcohol abuse prevention programs. We also identify approaches aimed at changing the culture of alcohol use on campus. Limitations of the reviewed research are highlighted in the context of promising directions for future research.

“…Recent reviews of the literature indicate feedback, whether delivered in-person, by mail, or electronically, can be effective in reducing heavy drinking among college students (Larimer & Cronce, 2007;Walters & Neighbors, 2005). There are, however, many advantages to using web-based programs with college students (Walters, Miller, & Chiauzzi, 2005). Research indicates young drinkers tend to respond better to electronic feedback than to in person feedback (Larimer & Cronce, 2002;Kypri, Saunders, & Gallagher, 2003;Saunders, Kypri, Walters, Laforge, & Larimer, 2004).…”
