Personalized normative feedback (PNF) interventions are generally effective at correcting misperceptions and reducing risky alcohol consumption among college students. However, research has yet to establish what level of reference group specificity is most efficacious in delivering PNF. This study compared the efficacy a web-based PNF intervention using 8 increasingly specific groups against Web-BASICS repeated-assessment control drinking associated consequences.Participants were 1,663...
The current study examined hooking up experiences through event-level analyses, including the connections involving alcohol use, extent of physical contact, and postevaluations hookup event. Participants were 828 college students (67.0% female). Of who reported sometime within past year (54.8%), chi-square analyses revealed that they more likely to have been drinking when met their partners night hookup. Females beforehand females feel discontent with decisions. Among participants consumed...
Objective: Poor mental health, sleep problems, drinking motivations, and high-risk are prevalent among college students. However, research designed to explicate the interrelationships these health risk behaviors is lacking. This study was assess direct indirect influences of poor (a latent factor consisting depression, anxiety, stress) alcohol use alcohol-related consequences through mediators global quality motives in a comprehensive model. Method: Participants were 1,044 heavy-drinking...
The present study examined risk factors related to "blacking out" (e.g., temporary periods of memory loss during drinking) preparty drinking events (i.e., pregaming, predrinking). Participants were students from two universities on the West Coast who reported past month prepartying (N = 2,546) in online surveys administered fall 2008. Among these students, 25% (n 636) blacking out at least one occasion which they prepartied month. A logistic regression model underscored that Greek student...
Recent research indicates that protective behavioral strategies (PBS)-previously established as effective self-regulating tools for reducing alcohol risk among college students-may be especially useful students with poor mental health, who are shown to at heightened alcohol-related harm. The current study examined the moderating influence of health (depression and anxiety severity), gender, race (White, Asian) in relationship between PBS use negative consequences. Participants were 1,782...
This study considered the influence of misperceptions typical versus self-identified important peers' heavy drinking on personal intentions and frequency utilizing data from a complete social network college students. The sample included 1,313 students (44% male, 57% White, 15% Hispanic/Latinx) collected during fall spring semesters their freshman year. Students provided perceived for student peer up to 10 identified peers. Personal past-month was assessed all participants at both time...
Sleep problems and alcohol misuse are common issues experienced by college students that can have detrimental effects on overall health. Previous work indicates a strong relationship between poor sleep quality risk in this population. This study explored the moderating effect of drinking motives global experience alcohol-related negative consequences.College (N = 1,878) who reported past-month drinking.Participants completed online surveys assessing behaviors.Poorer higher (coping,...
It is well-established that drinking to cope with negative affective states mediates the relationship between depressed mood and alcohol risk outcomes among college students. Whether non-college emerging adults exhibit a similar pathway remains unknown. In current study, we compared mediating role of coping motives in depressive symptoms (heavy episodic problems) adult subgroups. Participants were three hundred forty-one community-recruited 18–25 year olds reporting past month use. We used...
The present study examined the moderating role of health status (physical, mental, and social health) relationships between protective behavioral strategies utilized to reduce high-risk drinking (e.g., avoiding games, setting consumption limits, or having a designated driver) alcohol use negative consequences in sample heavy college students ( N = 1,820). In this high risk sample, multiple regression analyses showed that stronger was related increased drinking, while poorer physical, were...
The present study is the first to examine moderating effects of mental and social health status in relationship between protective behavioral strategies utilized reduce high-risk drinking (e.g., alternating alcoholic nonalcoholic drinks or avoiding games) alcohol outcomes (drinking variables alcohol-related negative consequences) among first-year college females ( N = 128). Findings revealed that behaviors were particularly effective reducing both consumption related risks participants...
Drinking games are widespread on college campuses and pose health risks to their players. Although there has been considerable research progress in the drinking literature, does not appear be a standard definition of term "drinking games." Researchers, however, have attempted classify categorize systematic manner. For example, one category (e.g., chugging, keg stands) is often referred as consumption or extreme games. Questions remain whether how these types align with researchers'...
College students' use of protective behavioral strategies (PBS; e.g., determining not to exceed a set number drinks, avoiding drinking games) is related lower levels alcohol consumption and problems. The present study evaluated the efficacy novel brief, single-session group PBS skills training intervention aimed at increasing college reducing risky consequences. Participants (N = 226) were heavy-drinking incoming first-year women randomized either or control condition. attended 45-min...
Objective: The current study uses longitudinal data to examine the relative influence of perceived descriptive and injunctive norms for proximal distal referents on marijuana use. Method: Participants were 740 undergraduate students (67% female) who completed web-based surveys at two time points 12 months apart. Time 1 measures included reports use, approval, norms, typical student, close friends, parents. At 2, reported their Results: Results a path analysis suggest that, after we...
