Arm Description

Participants received no intervention content. They provided assessments of past week protective strategy use, alcohol use, and alcohol problems. All assessments were delivered via an online survey.

Participants received information on the positive aspects of individuals that used protective strategies and were encouraged to report why these individuals were viewed so much more positively. They provided assessments of past week protective strategy use, alcohol use, and alcohol problems. All assessments and messaging was delivered via an online survey.

Participants received information on the negative aspects of individuals that did not used protective strategies and were encouraged to report why these individuals were viewed so much more negatively. They provided assessments of past week protective strategy use, alcohol use, and alcohol problems. All assessments and messaging was delivered via an online survey.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Protective Behavioral Strategies- Pre-Intervention
Protective behavioral strategies (PBS) are a collection of harm-reduction strategies aimed to decrease alcohol-related consequences when consuming alcohol. The are three broad subtypes of PBS: (1) Manner of Drinking (MD; e.g., avoiding mixing different types of alcohol), (2) Stopping/Limiting Drinking (SLD; e.g., stopping drinking at a predetermined time), and (3) Serious Harm Reduction (SHR; e.g., knowing where your drink is at all times). These PBS were assessed in this study using Protective Behavioral Strategies Survey-20 (PBS-20). The PBS-20 consists of 20 statements covering three factors of protective strategies: Manner of Drinking, Stopping/Limiting Drinking, and Serious Harm Reduction. The frequency of PBS use was be reported on a five-point Likert-scale from 'Never' to 'Always'. Participants were asked to record their PBS use from the past three months.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study tested a deviance regulation theory intervention in a sample of university freshman. The aims were to (a) increase use of protective behavioral strategies, (b) decrease alcohol use, and (c) decrease alcohol-related consequences.
Detailed Description
College student freshmen were invited to participate in a study on the use of alcohol protective behavioral strategies. They were randomly assigned to receive a positive message about individuals that used protective strategies, a negative message about individuals that did not use protective strategies, or an assessment control. They were then followed for the next 12 months. Assessments were completed at weeks 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 12, 26, and 52.
