    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    A new planning-ability intervention significantly reduced heavy episodic drinking (HED) by decreasing per-occasion alcohol consumption in college students. This executive function (EF) approach shows promise for reducing alcohol intake.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Neuroscience
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Heavy episodic drinking (HED) is a prevalent issue among college students.
    • Executive functions (EFs), including planning ability, are crucial for behavioral regulation.
    • Interventions targeting EFs may offer a novel approach to reduce HED.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate a planning-ability intervention designed to decrease HED.
    • To assess the impact of the intervention on per-occasion alcohol consumption and HED frequency.

    Main Methods:

    • Fifty-five first-year college students with HED were randomized into an experimental or active control group.
    • The experimental group engaged in progressively challenging planning tasks, while the control group completed easier tasks.
    • Alcohol consumption was monitored over a 2-week period following the intervention.

    Main Results:

    • The experimental group showed significant reductions in mean and maximum per-occasion alcohol consumption compared to the control group.
    • No significant differences in the frequency of HED were observed between the groups.
    • The planning-ability intervention demonstrated efficacy in reducing the quantity of alcohol consumed per occasion.

    Conclusions:

    • A planning-ability intervention shows initial support for decreasing per-occasion alcohol consumption.
    • Further research is warranted to explore the mechanisms, long-term efficacy, and specific EFs involved in alcohol consumption reduction.
