Alcohol use increases substantially during the transition from middle school to high school. This study tested a brief, web-based personalized feedback program aimed at reducing risk factors for drinking, alcohol use, and alcohol-related consequences among 9 th grade students. At a 3-month follow-up, students in the intervention group showed positive results relative to those in the control group on variables associated with reduced risk, including positive alcohol expectancies and positive beliefs about alcohol. Students in the intervention group also reported a reduction in drinking frequency and alcohol-related consequences relative to those in the control group. There were, however, no differences in normative beliefs regarding peer drinking or quantity of weekly drinking between the two groups. Results indicate a brief, web-based personalized normative feedback program delivered in the school setting is a promising approach to reducing alcohol use and the associated consequences among 9 th grade students.

“…Pomembno je vedeti, kateri dogodki so pri mladih tako pomembni, da bi s spremembo pristopa do teh dogodkov (spodbujanje neuporabe alkohola) dosegli velik rezultat (na primer polnoletnost, vstop na fakulteto, diploma itn.). Pri vsem pa se je pomembno osrediniti tudi na starše, ker imajo ukrepi s pomočjo (predhodnega) vpliva staršev še večji učinek (19). Preprečevanja tveganega pitja pri mladih se je treba lotiti že z izobraževanjem o spodbujanju zdravega načina življenja staršev ter nadaljevati z otroki in mladostniki.…”

“…APPLYING MOST TO OPTIMIZE myPlaybook myPlaybook: an online intervention targeting substance use among college student-athletes College student-athletes are at increased risk of heavy alcohol use, smokeless tobacco use, and the use of performance-enhancing substances compared to nonathletes [8][9][10][11]], yet to date there are no effective behavioral interventions that successfully target the full range of substance use that is most problematic among this subpopulation of college students. In response to this void, our team developed myPlaybook, an online substance use prevention program that is specifically tailored to college student-athletes.…”

Given current pressures to increase the public health contributions of behavioral interventions, intervention scientists may wish to consider moving beyond the classical treatment package approach that focuses primarily on achieving statistical significance. They may wish also to focus on goals directly related to optimizing public health impact. The Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST) is an innovative methodological framework that draws on engineering principles to achieve more potent behavioral interventions. MOST is increasingly being adopted by intervention scientists seeking a systematic framework to engineer an optimized intervention. As with any innovation, there are challenges that arise with early adoption. This article describes the solutions to several critical questions that we addressed during the firstever iterative application of MOST. Specifically, we describe how we have applied MOST to optimize an online program (myPlaybook) for the prevention of substance use among college student-athletes. Our application of MOST can serve as a blueprint for other intervention scientists who wish to design optimized behavioral interventions. We believe using MOST is feasible and has the potential to dramatically improve program effectiveness thereby advancing the public health impact of behavioral interventions. KEYWORDSMultiphase Optimization Strategy, Intervention d e v e l o p m e n t , S u b s t a n c e u s e p r e v e n t i o n , Experimental design Due to growing expectations that behavioral interventions should have a clinically meaningful public health impact, intervention scientists have started considering how to optimize their programs. A program has been optimized when it meets a priori criteria, expressed in terms of attributes such as efficacy, effectiveness, efficiency, or cost-effectiveness. One approach to achieving this goal is to use the Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST) developed by . MOST is a framework for program development and evaluation that is inspired by approaches used in engineering research and product development [1,4]. Using MOST allows intervention scientists to optimize behavioral interventions by specifying a desired criterion and systematically engineering the program to meet this criterion.MOST consists of three phases: Preparation, Optimization, and Evaluation. In the Preparation phase, intervention scientists draw on one or more theories to develop a conceptual model that will form the basis for the behavioral intervention. As part of this phase, they also identify which components, or parts of the intervention, to evaluate and develop and pilot those components. Finally, they select the desired optimization criterion, such as achieving a clinically meaningful public health impact (e.g., a specific effect size). In the Optimization phase, intervention scientists conduct one or more experiments to obtain information about the performance of each component. This information is used to decide which components should be retained to form the optimized inter...
