Encouraging but limited research indicates that brief motivational interventions may be an effective way to reduce heavy episodic drinking in college students. At 2 campuses, students (83% male) mandated to a substance use prevention program were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 individually administered conditions: (a) a brief motivational interview (BMI; n = 34) or (b) an alcohol education session (AE; n = 30). Students in the BMI condition reported fewer alcohol-related problems than the AE students at 3-and 6-month assessments. Trends toward reductions in number of binge drinking episodes and typical blood alcohol levels were seen in both groups. Process measures confirmed the integrity of both interventions. The findings demonstrate that mandated BMIs can reduce alcohol problems in students referred for alcohol violations.
鼓舞人心但有限的研究表明,简短的动机性干预可能是减少大学生大量饮酒的有效方法。在两个校园中,被要求参加物质使用预防计划的学生(83%为男性)被随机分配到两种单独实施的情况之一:(a)简短的动机性访谈(BMI;n = 34)或(b)酒精教育课程(AE;n = 30)。在3个月和6个月的评估中,BMI组的学生报告的与酒精相关的问题比AE组的学生少。两组在暴饮次数和典型血液酒精水平的降低方面都有趋势。过程测量证实了两种干预措施的完整性。研究结果表明,被要求参加的BMI可以减少因违反酒精规定而被转介的学生的酒精问题。
