In this qualitative study, the authors examined how students attempt to minimize harm to themselves and others when drinking.
The authors recruited freshmen at a large, mid-Atlantic US public university during the fall semester of 2005 to participate in 8 focus groups.
The moderator's guide was developed through an iterative process that included input from experts and pilot testing. The researchers audiotaped focus group conversations, transcribed them, and subjected them to an interrater reliability check. Analysis was based on the framework of Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills Model and a phenomenological approach.
College students have a repertoire of coping strategies they use in an attempt to safeguard themselves and their friends from harm when drinking. Strategies encompass planning a safe context for drinking, using safety measures to minimize harm when drinking, and taking care of someone who has consumed too much alcohol.
A harm-reduction focus that acknowledges and builds on existing protective strategies may be a promising avenue for alcohol interventions.
在这项定性研究中，作者考察了学生在饮酒时如何试图将对自己和他人的伤害降至最低。
作者于2005年秋季学期在美国中大西洋地区的一所大型公立大学招募新生参加8个焦点小组。
主持人指南通过一个反复迭代的过程制定，该过程包括专家的意见和预试验。研究人员对焦点小组的对话进行录音、转录，并进行评分者间信度检查。分析基于信息 - 动机 - 行为技能模型框架和现象学方法。
大学生有一系列应对策略，他们在饮酒时试图保护自己和朋友免受伤害。这些策略包括为饮酒规划一个安全的环境、在饮酒时使用安全措施以尽量减少伤害，以及照顾饮酒过量的人。
以减少伤害为重点，承认并基于现有的保护策略，可能是酒精干预的一个有前景的途径。
