This study examined the effectiveness of a single-session group motivational enhancement alcohol intervention on adjudicated male college students. Over two sequential academic years, 230 students sanctioned by the university for alcohol-related infractions attended a 60- to 75-minute group intervention. The intervention consisted of a timeline followback, social norms education, decisional balance for behavioral change, blood alcohol content (BAC) information, expectancy challenge, and generation of behavioral goals. Participants were followed weekly for three months and showed reductions in drinking (29%) and alcohol-related consequences (32%) at three-month follow-up. The intervention was successful in reducing drinking for both first-year students and upperclassmen, with reductions appearing to be a function of the intervention and not the citation itself. Furthermore, a post hoc control condition revealed that those participants randomly assigned to the intervention group condition reduced drinking (19%) and alcohol-related consequences (44%) more than participants in the control condition over one month. These results provide continued evidence of the effectiveness of group motivational enhancement interventions with adjudicated male college students.
本研究考察了单次团体动机增强酒精干预对被裁定违规的男大学生的有效性。在连续两个学年中，230名因与酒精相关的违规行为而受到学校处分的学生参加了一次60至75分钟的团体干预。该干预包括时间线回溯、社会规范教育、行为改变的决策平衡、血液酒精含量（BAC）信息、预期挑战以及行为目标的设定。参与者在三个月内每周接受随访，在三个月的随访中，饮酒量减少了29%，与酒精相关的后果减少了32%。该干预对一年级学生和高年级学生的饮酒量减少均有成效，减少似乎是干预的作用而非传票本身的作用。此外，事后对照条件显示，在一个月的时间里，随机分配到干预组的参与者饮酒量减少了19%，与酒精相关的后果减少了44%，比对照组的参与者减少得更多。这些结果为团体动机增强干预对被裁定违规的男大学生的有效性提供了持续的证据。
