Brief Summary

Underage drinking is a significant problem in the United States. While past research supports the efficacy of interventions in delaying the initiation of alcohol use implemented in middle school and early high school, research shows drinking by older high schoolers is problematic and interventions for older high schoolers remain limited. The current project will test the efficacy of the e-CHECKUP TO GO (eCTG), alone and combined with an electronic-Parent-Based Intervention (ePBI), for junior and senior high school students using a nationally representative sample with the goal of reducing alcohol use and negative consequences.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Examine changes in alcohol use

    A standard drink definition will be provided, indicating that a standard drink consists of 12 oz. of beer or wine cooler, 8.5 oz. of malt liquor, 4 oz. of wine, or 1.5 oz. of hard liquor. Using the Timeline Followback (TLFB; Sobell \& Sobell, 1996) participants will indicate how many drinks they consumed on each day of the past three months. For days alcohol was consumed, participants will also note the number of hours spent drinking.

    Baseline, 3 month, 6 month, 9 month, 12 month

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Examine Changes in Consequences of Alcohol Use

    Baseline, 3 month, 6 month, 9 month, 12 month

Other Outcomes (9)

  • Examine Changes in Parental Rules about Underage Drinking (Permissiveness)

    Baseline, 3 month, 6 month, 9 month, 12 month

  • Examine Changes in Parental Communication

    Baseline, 3 month, 6 month, 9 month, 12 month

  • Examine Changes in Parental Communications

Study Arms (2)

e-CHECKUP TO GO (eCTG)

EXPERIMENTAL

A brief, web-based program designed by San Diego State University to reduce high-risk drinking by providing personalized normative feedback regarding alcohol use, risk factors, and risks associated with drinking and accurate information about alcohol

Behavioral: e-CHECKUP TO GO (eCTG)

e-Parent Intervention and eCTG (eCTG+)

EXPERIMENTAL

The eCTG+ is a combination of the eCTG and the e-Parent Intervention, which is an electronic handbook developed by Rob Turrisi to guide parents in discussing drinking, behaviors, and consequences with their teens.
