Brief Summary

The present study focuses on examining the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects of an adapted alcohol intervention for high-risk college students attending community colleges. Investigators adapted BASICS (an efficacious in-person intervention developed for high-risk drinkers attending 4-year colleges and universities) to a web-conferencing format that allows the facilitator and participant to see and discuss live web-based personalized feedback. SMS text messages with protective behavioral strategies were also provided. The objective of the R34 was to establish feasibility and acceptability as well as to determine preliminary or likely effect sizes.

Study Arms (2)

BASICCS

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants randomized to the BASICCS condition received a personalized feedback intervention conducted through a web-conferencing platform. They also received up to 24 text messages with protective behavioral strategies for drinking during the following month.

Behavioral: BASICCS

Control

NO INTERVENTION

Participants randomized to the control group did not receive any intervention. They were an assessment-only control group.

Interventions

BASICCS BEHAVIORAL

Participants randomized to the BASICCS condition received a personalized feedback intervention conducted through a web-conferencing platform. The personalized feedback intervention included tailored feedback on drinking quantity and frequency of alcohol, BAC, alcohol-related consequences, normative perceptions of peer drinking, alcohol outcome expectancies, family history of risk, and financial costs of alcohol. They also received up to 24 text messages with protective behavioral strategies for drinking during the following month.

BASICCS

Eligibility Criteria

You may qualify if:

• being 18-29 years old; enrolled full- or part-time at one of the three community colleges where data collection took place; consuming 4+/5+ drinks for women/men on one occasion in the past month or exceeding weekly NIAAA drinking recommendations (8+/15+ for women/men); and possessing a cell phone with text-messaging capability
