About this trial

The project will develop brief interventions that allow participants to customize which groups they receive feedback for in relation to things such as drinking norms for younger or older students, student athletes, etc. The goal is to provide content that is meaningful and engaging to all users.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Enrolled at the University of Washington either part- or full-time

Report 3 or more past-month drinking occasions

Report 3 or more drinks per occasion in the past month, on average

Report 4 or more drinks during the peak drinking occasion in the past month

Disqualifiers

None

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Customizable personalized normative feedback (CPNF)

    Behavioral

    The CPNF intervention allows individuals to explore normative feedback for a wider variety of referent groups so that PNF is a truly personalized and engaging experience.

  • Personalized normative feedback (PNF)

    Behavioral

    Correcting misperceptions about peers' alcohol use behaviors and contrasting one's own use to the actual norms of their peers.

  • Attention-Matched Control (AMC)

    Behavioral

    Participants in the AMC condition will complete all measures at the same time as participants in the CPNF condition but will not receive any information on drinking norms. Instead, participants in the AMC will receive normative feedback on sleep health, video game use, and gambling behaviors, and will similarly be able to choose the normative referent groups they wish to view feedback on for these behaviors. The AMC will thus serve as a non-treatment comparison that controls for assessment reactivity and effects of history and maturation.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Alcohol use - drinks per month

Daily Drinking Questionnaire will assess drinks on average over the past month by recording the number of drinks consumed on each day of a typical week. Response options range from 0 drinks to 25+ drinks. Lower score is a better outcome, higher score is a worse outcome.

Time frame
Screening, Baseline, Follow-ups, an average of 3 months
2

Alcohol use - Quantity per occasion

Quantity/Frequency/Peak Alcohol Use Index will assess amount of alcohol consumed over the past month with how many days alcohol was consumed, average consumption, and peak consumption. Response options range from 0 to 30 days for frequency, and 1 to 12+ drinks for quantity and peak. Lower score is a better outcome, higher score is a worse outcome.

Time frame
Screening, Baseline, Follow-ups, an average of 3 months
3

Alcohol use - Heavy episodic drinking

Heavy Episodic Drinking measure will assess how many times over the past month heavy drinking episodes occurred, defined as 4 or more drinks (females) or 5 or more drinks (males) on a single occasion. Response options range from 0 to 7 days. Lower score is a better outcome, higher score is a worse outcome.

Time frame
Screening, Baseline, Follow-ups, an average of 3 months
4

Alcohol use - Peak drinks & peak BAC

Electronic Blood Alcohol content will be assessed and calculated using peak drinks over x amount of time. A lower BAC is a better outcome, a higher BAC is a worse outcome.

Time frame
Screening, Baseline, Follow-ups, an average of 3 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Perceived descriptive norms for each normative referent group

Gathered via Shortened Drinking Norms Rating Form. 7 items assess belief for what's an acceptable number of drinks each day of the week with responses ranging from 0 to 25+ drinks.

Time frame
Baseline, Follow-ups, an average of 3 months
2

Perceived injunctive drinking norms for typical students at UW

Gathered via the Injunctive Drinking Norms Rating Form. 7 items assess belief for what a typical UW college student drinks on each day of each day of the week with responses ranging from 0 to 25+ drinks.

Time frame
Baseline, Follow-ups, an average of 3 months
