Outcome Report - Alcohol Wise

Transcription

1 Page 1 of 15 OUTCOME REPORT INTRODUCTION Outcome Report data is based on self- from completing the Alcohol-Wise course for the period defined in the Outcome Report Summary section. 3rd Millennium Classrooms is committed to providing evidence-based prevention and intervention programs. We actively conduct, support, and participate in research that rigorously evaluates the efficacy of our programs. The Outcome Report compares survey, self-assessment (echeckup TO GO), and test data from the Alcohol-Wise course. This report provides data concerning the change in student opinions, knowledge, and behaviors before and after completing the course. Campus administrators need to consider collected data carefully when evaluating the efficacy of program reports, however large the sample size. We encourage you to look for programs where efficacy data is derived from strong research designs with randomized controls. There are now 11 controlled studies all demonstrating significant reductions in alcohol consumption among college completing the 15-minute echeckup TO GO online intervention included in our course. You can review these studies at the following websites: This report contains summary and detailed data information. For a summary of results, reference the Outcome Report Summary section. To view supportive data for the summary of results, reference the Outcome Report Detail section.

Summary Knowledge s - 28% increase in average test score between pre & post test concludes are educating themselves on alcohol and the associated behavioral health issues. (Report Detail Section: 1 Test Results; Appendix A - 1) - Students agree that the course provides valuable information and was helpful. (Report Detail Section: 9 What Students think of the Course) Behavior s - Results show increased consumption which is most likely related to behaviors of first year drinking more in college than in high school. Based on controlled study results, increase in alcohol consumption is most likely a smaller increase than student populations not taking the prevention course. (Report Detail Section: 2 Drinking Profile; Appendix A - 2) - Results show little or no change which is indirectly a positive outcome. First year typically drink more in college than in high school. Based on controlled study results, alcohol consumption most likely increased for student populations not taking the prevention course. (Report Detail Section: 3 Intoxication Levels; Appendix A - 3)

(Report Detail Section: 4 Drinking and Driving) - Students have fewer negative habits after taking the course which helps them make better decisions concerning alcohol use. (Report Detail Section: 5 Drinking Experiences) - The national aggregate shows that overall, are experiencing fewer negative consequences after taking the course which educates them on making better decisions concerning alcohol use. Lower percentages for your institution could be the result of a low number of survey responses. (Report Detail Section: 7 Drinking Consequenses: Appendix A-5)

13 Page 13 of 15 A-1 Test Results Brief intervention among freshman college, previously identified as being at high risk for harmful consequences of heavy drinking, has been shown to result in a significant decline in alcohol-related problems. (Marlatt, G.A.; Baer, J.S.; Kivlahan, D.R.; et al. Screening and brief intervention for high-risk college student drinkers: Results from a 2-year follow-up assessment. J Consult Clin Psychol 66(4): , (29) Roberts, L.J.; Neal, D.J.; Kivlahan, D.R.; Baer, J.S.; and Marlatt, G.A. Individual drinking changes following a brief intervention among college : Clinical significance in an indicated preventive context. J Consult Clin Psychol 68(3): , A-2 Drinking Profile echeckup TO GO has produced drinking reductions in controlled trials at three major universities (Schroeder, 2001; Walters, 2000; Walters, Bennett & Miller, 2000;). In the first trial, a group of heavy drinking showed a reduction of 59.4 drinks per month (DPM), as compared with those in the control group who remained relatively unchanged (decrease of 1.5 DPM). In the second trial, who received feedback showed a decrease of 28.3 DPM, as compared with a decrease of 11.9 in the control group. In the third trial, sorority pledges showed a decrease of 11.5 DPM, as compared with an increase of 1.7 in the control. Finally, in an uncontrolled trial, enrolled in a university course on addictions showed a decrease of 12.7 DPM. A randomized trial of the echeckup TO GO web-based binge drinking intervention was conducted among college freshmen. Results indicated that participants who received the echeckup TO GO significantly reduced their weekly alcohol consumption, and that was particularly so for male participants. A-3 Intoxication Levels Brief interviews in which feedback is provided to have been shown to produce significant decreases in levels of consumption six weeks following the intervention (Borsari and Carey, 2000) and to diminish the likelihood of experiencing negative, alcohol-related consequences for at least four years (Baer et al., 2001). A-5 Consequences of Drinking Physically injured yourself 500,000 between the ages of 18 and 24 are unintentionally injured under the influence of alcohol (Hingson et al., 2002). 1,400 college between the ages of 18 and 24 die each year from alcohol-related unintentional injuries, including motor vehicle crashes (Hingson et al., 2002). Physically injured another person More than 600,000 between the ages of 18 and 24 are assaulted by another student who has been drinking (Hingson et al., 2002). Been involved in a fight Section A APPENDIX: RESEARCH RESULTS About 5 percent of 4-year college are involved with the police or campus security as a result of their drinking (Wechsler et al., 2002) and an estimated 110,000 between the ages of 18 and 24 are arrested for an alcohol-related violation such as public drunkenness or driving under the influence (Hingson et al., 2002). More than 600,000 between the ages of 18 and 24 are assaulted by another student who has been drinking (Hingson et al., 2002). About 11 percent of college student drinkers report that they have damaged property while under the influence of alcohol (Wechsler et al., 2002).

14 Page 14 of 15 Did something you later regretted About 25 percent of college report academic consequences of their drinking including missing class, falling behind, doing poorly on exams or papers, and receiving lower grades overall (Engs et al., 1996; Presley et al., 1996a, 1996b; Wechsler et al., 2002). 2.1 million between the ages of 18 and 24 drove under the influence of alcohol last year (Hingson et al., 2002). Forgot where you were or what you did 22% of (27% of drinkers) reported at least one incident of having forgotten where they were or what they did due to drinking in the past year (Wechsler et al., 1998). Had someone use force or threat of force to have sex with you More than 70,000 between the ages of 18 and 24 are victims of alcohol-related sexual assault or date rape (Hingson et al., 2002). Had unprotected sex 400,000 between the ages of 18 and 24 have unprotected sex and more than 100,000 between the ages of 18 and 24 report having been too intoxicated to know if they consented to having sex (Hingson et al., 2002). A-6 Effects of Alcohol Use Anecdotal evidence suggests that the first 6 weeks of the first semester are critical to a first-year student s academic success. Because many initiate drinking during these early days of college, the potential exists for excessive alcohol consumption interfering with successful adaptation to campus life.
