Summary

The study evaluates the relative merit of a multi-component PFI presented in the traditional simultaneous delivery (i.e., all components at once) versus a sequential format, wherein individual PFI components are delivered one at a time over several weeks to minimize time and attention demands for each component.

Detailed description

This study builds upon the latest alcohol intervention literature to develop and test the next wave of personalized feedback interventions (PFIs) to address harmful alcohol use among college students. The purpose of this research is to determine optimal configuration of PFIs to take advantage of the clarity and initial impact of single-component PFIs and greater effect size and duration of personalized multi-component PFIs. The Investigators seek to increase and evaluate engagement with the PFI and text-message materials and boost innovation of both content and process of the intervention. In addition to PFI content and delivery, the investigators will use qualitative and quantitative methods to determine personal relevance of the chosen high-risk events among a sample of students who engage in heavy episodic drinking to better understand duration of PFI effects impacted by fluctuations in drinking associated with high-risk events. Prior interventions have targeted drinking in general or a single high-risk drinking event (e.g., Spring Break), but have not targeted both general and event-specific drinking together. These enhanced intervention effects, could have a significant impact on risks associated with college student drinking, and can be rapidly disseminated and implemented on campuses nationwide to address the public health problem posed by heavy episodic drinking among college students.
