This book was released on 2000 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

This book was released on 1990 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alcohol use/abuse among college students is a serious concern for higher education. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of alcohol on freshman women during the critical transition into college. Specifically, the study focused on differences in knowledge of alcohol facts and attitudes toward use of alcohol among freshman women prior to college. Further, the study focused on changes in use of alcohol, knowledge of alcohol facts, and attitude toward use of alcohol among freshman women during their initial term of college. To provide background, demographic characteristics based on level of alcohol use were compiled. The subjects in this study were 132 entering freshman women attending Oregon State University in fall 1979. The data used in testing the hypotheses under investigation were collected during summer 1979 and during the first weeks of winter term 1980. Alcohol use and alcohol use group classification were determined by a Quantity-Frequency instrument. The Student Alcohol Questionnaire measured the subjects' knowledge of alcohol facts. The attitude instrument measured attitude toward intemperate (excessive) use of alcohol. The hypotheses developed to test initial differences in knowledge of alcohol facts and attitude toward use of alcohol were tested utilizing the analysis of variance. Where significance was indicated, further analysis was conducted with the Student-Newman-Keuls procedure to determine specific initial differences among alcohol use groups. Paired t-tests were utilized to analyze changes in use of alcohol, knowledge of alcohol facts, and attitudes toward alcohol use for the total sample and individual use groups. The .05 level of significance was required for all tests. The results of the study indicated: 1. There were no significant differences in knowledge of facts about alcohol among entering freshman women based on their level of alcohol use. 2. There were significant differences in attitude toward the use of alcohol among the entering freshman women. a. The abstaining group of freshman women were significantly the least tolerant of intemperate use of alchol by themselves and others. b. The infrequent drinking group of freshman women supported intemperate drinking by themselves and others to a significantly greater extent than the abstaining group. c. The infrequent drinking group of freshman women were significantly less tolerant of intemperate use of alcohol by themselves and others than the light, moderate and heavy drinking freshman women. d. The light, moderate and heavy drinking freshman women's attitudes toward intemperate use of alcohol were not significantly different from each other. e. The light, moderate and heavy drinking groups of freshman women endorsed intemperate drinking by themselves and others to a significantly greater extent than the abstaining and infrequent drinking groups of freshman women. 3. There was a significant increase in the use of alcohol among the freshman women at the end of their first term of college. 4. There was a significant increase in knowledge of alcohol facts among the freshman women at the end of their first term of college. a. There was a significant increase in knowledge of alcohol facts among the light, moderate and heavy drinking freshman women at the end of their first term of college. b. There was no significant change in knowledge of alcohol facts among the abstaining and infrequent drinking freshman women. 5 There was a significant increase in tolerant attitudes toward use of alcohol among the freshman women at the end of their first term of college. a. There were significant increases in favorable attitude toward intemperate use of alcohol among infrequent and light drinking freshman women at the end of their first term of college. b. There were no significant changes in attitude toward intemperate use of alcohol among abstaining, moderate and heavy drinking freshman women at the end of their first term of college.

Kevin Synnott and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2001 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of clarifying students' misperceptions regarding their peers' consumption of alcohol and feelings of comfort in drinking situations. Quantitative and qualitative approaches were used to determine if providing students with information would impact on their perceptions. A posttest-only control-group experimental design was employed to investigate the efficacy of clarifying students' misperceptions. The experimental group was provided with information gleaned from the literature regarding students' misperceptions. Participants were administered a questionnaire developed for this study to determine: (a) their drinking habits (i. e., frequency and quantity), (b) how comfortable they feel in drinking situations, (c) their perceptions regarding their peers' drinking habits, and (d) their perceptions regarding how comfortable their peers feel in drinking situations. The findings included: (a) students overestimated the alcohol consumed by their peers; (b) students inaccurately believed that their peers are more comfortable in drinking situations than they are themselves; and (c) information appears to have clarified female students' misperceptions associated with feelings of comfort in drinking situations. A theory grounded in reality (Corbin
