College students have high rates of alcohol problems despite a number of intervention initiatives designed to reduce alcohol use. Substance use, including heavy drinking, often occurs at the expense of other, substance-free, activities. This review examines the promotion of one specific substance-free activity-exercise-as an intervention for hazardous drinking. Exercise has numerous physical and mental health benefits, and data suggest that students who engage in exercise regularly are less likely to drink heavily. However, the adherence to exercise necessary to achieve these benefits and possibly reduce drinking is poor, and improved exercise adherence interventions are needed. A novel combination of motivational enhancement therapy and contingency management is discussed as a means to address the critical issue of exercise adherence.
尽管有许多旨在减少饮酒的干预措施,但大学生的酒精问题发生率仍然很高。包括酗酒在内的物质使用往往以牺牲其他非物质活动为代价。本综述考察了促进一种特定的非物质活动——运动——作为危险饮酒干预措施的情况。运动对身心健康有诸多益处,数据表明,经常进行运动的学生饮酒量较少。然而,为了获得这些益处并可能减少饮酒,需要坚持进行运动,但目前学生的运动坚持率很差,因此需要改进运动坚持干预措施。本文讨论了一种将动机增强疗法和强化管理相结合的新方法,以解决运动坚持这一关键问题。
