This study tested the ability of a volitional help sheet (VHS) to decrease binge drinking in UK students.
Fifty-six participants were randomly allocated to one of three conditions: control, active control or VHS as part of a questionnaire-based study.
There were significant decreases in units of alcohol consumed and self-reported binge drinking frequency in the VHS condition, but not in either of the control conditions.
The findings support use of the VHS to help people to reduce their alcohol consumption and binge drinking.
本研究旨在测试一份自主帮助表（VHS）是否能减少英国学生的 binge drinking 行为。
56 名参与者被随机分配到三个条件之一：对照组、主动对照组或 VHS 组，作为基于问卷的研究的一部分。
在 VHS 条件下，参与者的饮酒量和自我报告的 binge drinking 频率都有显著下降，但在对照组中没有这种情况。
研究结果支持使用 VHS 帮助人们减少饮酒量和 binge drinking 行为。
