This study evaluated a brief intervention for college students with first-time alcohol infractions. The program included a class and personalized feedback to reduce risky drinking behaviors.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Higher Education
  • Addiction Science

Background:

  • College students frequently face alcohol-related conduct violations.
  • Interventions are needed to address underage and high-risk alcohol consumption on campus.
  • Student conduct codes often mandate educational programs for alcohol infractions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe and evaluate a brief intervention for college students cited for alcohol infractions.
  • To assess the impact of an educational and skills-based program on student drinking.
  • To provide personalized feedback to students following a group intervention session.

Main Methods:

  • A three-hour educational, attitudinal, and skills-based class was implemented.
  • Students completed self-report measures of alcohol consumption (quantity/frequency).

  • Personalized drinking feedback was mailed to students one week post-intervention.

    • Main Results:

    • Preliminary evaluation data of the intervention program were collected.
    • The intervention's effectiveness in reducing alcohol-related infractions was assessed.
    • The program was compared to other existing campus-based interventions.

    Conclusions:

    • The described intervention offers a structured approach for first-time student alcohol offenders.
    • Personalized feedback may enhance the impact of educational interventions for college drinking.
    • Further evaluation is needed to determine the long-term efficacy of this campus-based program.
