A debate remains regarding whether parents should teach their children harm-reduction tips for using alcohol while in college or whether they should maintain a zero-tolerance policy. Which type of alcohol-related communication parents should endorse is not empirically clear. The current study made use of a longitudinal measurement-burst design to examine this issue.
The sample consisted of 585 second-year students from a large university in the northeastern United States. Participants completed a baseline survey and 14 daily web-based surveys. Students were assessed for perceptions of parental alcohol-related messages and their own alcohol use. Multilevel models were estimated using HLM 6.04.
The data indicate that zero-tolerance messages appeared most protective against alcohol use and consequences. Harm-reduction messages were most risky, even when compared with mixed messages or the absence of a message.
Findings indicate that a zero-tolerance approach was associated with safer outcomes than other messages, even if students were already using alcohol.
关于父母是否应该在孩子上大学时教授他们有关饮酒的减少伤害的技巧,还是应该坚持零容忍政策,这一问题仍存在争议。父母应该支持哪种类型的与酒精相关的沟通方式在经验上并不清楚。本研究利用纵向测量爆发设计来研究这个问题。
样本由来自美国东北部一所大型大学的 585 名大二学生组成。参与者完成了基线调查和 14 项每日网络调查。学生们评估了对父母与酒精相关的信息的看法以及自己的饮酒情况。使用 HLM 6.04 对多层次模型进行了估计。
数据表明,零容忍信息似乎对饮酒和后果最具保护作用。减少伤害的信息风险最大,即使与混合信息或没有信息相比也是如此。
研究结果表明,即使学生已经在使用酒精,零容忍方法也与更安全的结果相关,而不是其他信息。
