Personalized Normative Feedback
Assessment-only Control
Participants in this arm will articulate ways to avoid alcohol-related consequences using self-generated protective strategies and publicly state those strategies.
Participants in this arm will view personalized normative feedback regarding their 1) own drinking quantity and frequency of drinking, 2) perceptions of typical drinking by same-sex students' on campus (i.e., perceived descriptive norms), and 3) actual drinking rates by same-sex students' on campus (i.e., actual descriptive norms).
Participants in this arm will not receive any intervention.
