This study developed an online alcohol-prevention program for elementary students, linking school and family. The program successfully improved students' intentions and attitudes toward preventing alcohol consumption.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Health Behavior Interventions
- Educational Technology
Background:
- Family significantly impacts student health behaviors, yet few programs link parents and schools for alcohol prevention in elementary students.
- Online interventions are effective for health behavior improvement, but traditional methods often dominate alcohol prevention programs for youth.
- A gap exists in accessible, engaging alcohol-prevention education for younger students that involves the family unit.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop an online school-child-family alcohol-prevention program grounded in the theory of planned behavior.
- To evaluate the preliminary impact of this online program on intermediate-elementary students' intention to consume alcohol.
- To assess changes in attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control related to alcohol-preventive behaviors.
Main Methods:
- A 5-week online alcohol-prevention program was developed based on the theory of planned behavior.
- The study employed a single-group, pre- and posttest design with 46 third-grade students in South Korea.
- The alcohol drinking prevention behavior scale was used to measure changes in behavior-related factors.
Main Results:
- Significant improvements were observed in students' attitudes, perceived behavioral control, and intention to engage in alcohol-preventive behaviors (p < .05).
- Subjective norms regarding alcohol consumption did not show a statistically significant change.
- The online program demonstrated positive preliminary effects on key factors influencing alcohol-preventive behavior.
Conclusions:
- The developed online program effectively leveraged school-child-family linkages and the theory of planned behavior.
- The intervention positively influenced intention, attitude, and perceived behavioral control for alcohol-prevention.
- The program's convenience and effectiveness suggest its potential as a valuable educational tool for improving youth health behaviors.

Preparation of Alcohols via Addition Reactions
The acid-catalyzed addition of water to the double bond of alkenes is a large-scale industrial method used to synthesize low-molecular-weight alcohols. An acidic atmosphere is required to allow the hydrogen in the water molecule to act as an electrophile and attack the double bond in an alkene. The addition of a proton to the double bond creates a carbocation intermediate. The proton preferentially bonds to the less substituted end of the double bond to create a more stable carbocation...
Preparation of Alcohols via Substitution Reactions
Alcohols can be synthesized from alkyl halides via nucleophilic substitution reactions. The highly polar carbon-halogen bond in the substrate makes halide a good leaving group. The hydroxide ion or water can act as a nucleophile to take the place of halide and form an alcohol. The substitution reactions occur via two different reaction pathways, SN1 or SN2, depending on the nature of carbon attached to the halide.
Primary alcohols are synthesized from primary alkyl halides, and the...

Alcohols from Carbonyl Compounds: Reduction
Catalytic hydrogenation is similar to the reduction of an alkene or alkyne by adding H2 across the pi bond in the presence of transition metal catalysts like Raney Ni, Pd–C, Pt, or Ru. Aldehydes and ketones can be reduced by this method, often under mild to moderate heat (25–100°C) and...
