Book excerpt: This research was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of two different types of alcohol education interventions on the attitudes about alcohol consumption in college, knowledge about alcohol, and self-reported alcohol consumption behavior of college students. The educational interventions were a student-centered CD-Rom interactive program, and a teacher-centered motivational speaker. Each intervention took approximately 60 minutes. The research was conducted at a small public university in Northern New York. Nine classes with a total enrollment of 360 students were randomly selected for the research. The demographic makeup of the sample was similar to that of the overall university population, including gender, class level, membership in Greek organizations and age. Three classes were randomly assigned to the CD-Rom program, three classes were randomly assigned to hear a motivational speaker, and three classes were randomly assigned to a control group. The instrument used was the Student Alcohol Questionnaire (SAQ). Students in all classes completed the SAQ four weeks after the Fall, 1999 semester began. The interventions were conducted the following week. The SAQ was administered again four, eight and twelve weeks post-intervention. Two measures of alcohol consumption behavior were used: A continuous variable measure of both amount of alcohol consumed and consequences related to intoxication, and a dichotomous variable for "heavy drinking," which is defined as more than five drinks in a row at least once a week. Multivariate analysis of variance was used to test for differences across attitude, knowledge and behavior and bivariate combinations of these outcome variables by group. No statistically significant differences were found on any of the post-interventions measures for any combination of aftitude, knowledge or behavior. Analysis of covariance was used to test for behavior difference alone, using the pre-intervention questionnaire results as the covariate. No statistically significant differences were found for behavior alone. Multiple regression techniques were used to determine if alcohol consumption behavior, as measured on the continuous scale, could be predicted by gender, grade point average, class level or religion. Gender (p .000) was the only predictor variable that was statistically significant, with men students consuming more alcohol than women students.

Book excerpt: This study examined two issues: the self reported alcohol/drug use attitudes and behavior of college students over a two year span, 1988-1990, and the implementation of a drug and alcohol education program at Southwest State University in Marshall, Minnesota, a campus of 2,841 students. Baseline and comparative surveys assessed student alcohol/drug use attitudes and behavior. An implementation evaluation compared proposed program activities to the completed program activities. Key informant interviews and focus groups were used to gather qualitative data about the program.

Book excerpt: Alcohol use among college students has maintained its place as a major issue in American higher education since its inception. Although dangerous drinking has always proliferated among college students, institutions have only provided alcohol and other drug (AOD) education and interventions encouraging students to adapt less harmful habits for a much shorter period of time. During this relatively short history of postsecondary alcohol interventions, colleges and universities have shifted away from abstinence-only, education-based methods. Instead, institutions have begun to adapt cognitive behavior-centric, motivational enhancement-based strategies emphasizing harm reduction through the use of protective behaviors. In order to reach a greater number of students, alcohol intervention programs have been developed combining the harm reduction ideology with internet-based dispersion at a population level. This research study addressed the behavioral changes that occurred among an entire class of first-time-in-college freshmen at a large public university before and after mandatory participation in AlcoholEdu for College, an online, population-level, harm reduction-based alcohol intervention. The study expanded upon previous evaluations of the program, which addressed program efficacy among the population as a whole but did not further explore differences in effect upon students engaging in different levels of drinking. Other demographic factors, such as gender, ethnicity, family history of alcohol issues, and age of first consumption, were also taken into account. Pre-test surveys taken by students prior to the intervention at the beginning of the academic year were matched to follow-up surveys taken four to six weeks after program completion, providing the necessary data for conducting a quantitative study. The specific areas of interest within the study included (a) willingness to complete the program in a timely and complete fashion, (b) levels of consumption, (c) use of protective behavioral strategies (PBS), and (d) incurrence of negative alcohol-related consequences. A combination of analytical procedures was utilized, including descriptive statistics, chi-square tests for independence, exploratory factor analysis, repeated measures ANCOVA, and nonparametric inferential tests. Results were described within the framework of social cognitive theory (Bandura, 2004) as well as the CIPP program evaluation framework (Stufflebeam & Shinkfield, 2007). The analysis uncovered that three major factors determined willingness to complete the mandatory program in a timely and complete fashion: gender, age of first alcohol consumption, and drinker group. Specifically, students who were male, started drinking prior to high school, or were identified as heavy episodic drinkers were less likely than peers to complete all portions of the AlcoholEdu program. Both moderate and heavy episodic drinkers reduced their levels of consumption between pre-test and follow-up. A large percentage of abstaining students maintained this status later in the semester. Light and moderate drinkers either maintained or slightly reduced their use of PBS, while heavy episodic drinkers showed increases in use of most types of PBS over time. All students indicated low levels of incurrence of negative consequences in both the pre-test and follow-up periods. However, while students experienced an increased number of most of these consequences between the pre-test and follow-up surveys, heavy drinkers cited a decreased rate of drinking and driving-related consequences as of the follow-up. Throughout all of the analyses, important controlling factors included gender, ethnicity, and age of first alcohol consumption. The results of this study can guide future development and refinement of the AlcoholEdu program, as well as provide higher education administrators and AOD education program staff with additional baseline knowledge of the change process first-time-in-college freshmen undergo when engaged in the program.

Despite efforts to address this problem student use/abuse of alcohol continues. The purpose of this study was to determine which of three alcohol education instructional approaches more significantly impacted students' attitudes regarding the acceptance of alcohol use/abuse. Three hypotheses were tested to determine the impact on students' knowledge about alcohol, attitudes toward the use/abuse of alcohol and the relationship between knowledge and attitude. A review of the literature found there were three instructional approaches most commonly used in college alcohol education programs: responsible drinking, values clarification and disease concept. Three alcohol education programs were developed, each with an identical information component, but with a different motivational component which focused on either responsible drinking, values clarification or disease concept. A sample of 543 first term, freshmen, residence hall students was drawn from three regional colleges in Southern Oregon and Northern California, resulting in 267 usable questionnaires. To measure student knowledge and attitudes an instrument consisting of demographic questions, questions from a portion of the Claydon College Drinking Questionnaire and the Torabi-Veenker Alcohol Attitude Scale was administered at the end of each program. A 3 by 3 by 2 randomized blocks design was used in this study. The dependent variable was "instructional approach". The two independent sequential blocking variables were "college" and "sex". Three professional alcohol and drug counselors were trained and presented a different alcohol education program at each college so a complete crossing over of the instructor influence among all treatment groups was attained. Analysis of variance determined that there was no significant difference among the three instructional approaches regarding students' knowledge about alcohol. Analysis of variance determined that there was a significant difference among the three instructional approaches regarding students' attitudes, with the values clarification approach resulting in significantly less accepting attitudes for women regarding alcohol use/abuse. There was no significant correlation between knowledge about alcohol and attitudes toward alcohol use/abuse.
