In the current study, the authors assessed whether a new online alcohol-misuse prevention course (College Alc) is more effective at reducing alcohol use and related consequences among drinkers and nondrinkers.
The authors compared incoming college freshmen who reported any past 30-day alcohol use before the beginning of the semester with those who did not.
The authors randomly assigned students who completed a precollege baseline survey to either complete a 3-hour noncredit version of College Alc or serve as members of a control group. The authors conducted a follow-up survey 3 months later.
Findings indicated that among freshmen who were regular drinkers before college, College Alc appeared to reduce the frequency of heavy drinking, drunkenness, and negative alcohol-related consequences. Among freshmen who did not report any past-30-day alcohol use before college, College Alc did not appear to have any beneficial effects.
Results suggest that College Alc may be an effective program for students with a history of alcohol use.
在当前研究中，作者评估了一个新的在线预防酒精滥用课程（大学酒精课程）在减少饮酒者和非饮酒者的酒精使用及相关后果方面是否更有效。
作者将在学期开始前报告过去30天内有过饮酒行为的大学新生与没有饮酒行为的新生进行了比较。
作者将完成大学前基线调查的学生随机分配，要么完成一个3小时的无学分版大学酒精课程，要么作为对照组成员。作者在3个月后进行了后续调查。
研究结果表明，在大学前经常饮酒的新生中，大学酒精课程似乎降低了重度饮酒、醉酒以及与酒精相关的负面后果的发生频率。在大学前未报告过去30天内有过饮酒行为的新生中，大学酒精课程似乎没有任何有益效果。
结果表明，大学酒精课程可能对有饮酒史的学生是一个有效的项目。
