“…However, current findings suggest that interventions targeting interpersonal level factors will be necessary to reduce ST use in Ohio Appalachia. Possible programmatic strategies may include a social norming campaign [39] aimed at changing the cultural perceptions regarding the prevalence of tobacco use among Ohio Appalachian males coupled with interventions geared at reducing cultural initiation of masculinity through ST use by male social networks. These interpersonal interventions should complement existing community level policy efforts aimed at reducing exposure to tobacco marketing and restricting access to adolescents in Ohio Appalachia [40–42].…”

Background The burden of smokeless tobacco (ST) use disproportionally impacts males in rural Ohio Appalachia. The purpose of this study was to describe the cultural factors contributing to this disparity and to articulate the way in which culture, through interpersonal factors (i.e. social norms and social networks) and community factors (i.e. marketing and availability), impacts ST initiation and use of ST among boys and men in Ohio Appalachia. Methods Fifteen focus groups and twenty-three individual qualitative interviews were conducted with adult (n=63) and adolescent (n=53) residents in Ohio Appalachian counties to ascertain factors associated with ST use and the impact of ST marketing. Transcriptions were independently coded according to questions and themes. Results ST use appears to be a rite of passage in the development of masculine identity in Ohio Appalachian culture. Interpersonal factors had the greatest influence on initiation and continued use of ST. Ohio Appalachian boys either emulated current ST users or were actively encouraged to use ST through male family and peer networks. Users perceived their acceptance into the male social network as predicated on ST use. Community factors, including ST advertisement and access to ST, reinforced and normalized underlying cultural values. Conclusions In addition to policy aimed at reducing tobacco marketing and access, interventions designed to reduce ST use in Ohio Appalachia should incorporate efforts to 1) shift the perception of cultural norms regarding ST use and 2) address male social networks as vehicles in ST initiation.

“…A nationwide study of college students found that 71% overestimate the amount of alcohol used by peers (Perkins et al, 2005), and a meta-analysis of 23 college drinking studies revealed misperceptions in 91% of the measures investigated (Borsari & Carey, 2003). These misperceptions appear to be, in part, created when a heavy drinking minority exhibits highly memorable behaviors, while the more responsible behavior of the majority goes largely unnoticed (Berkowitz, 2004; Thombs, Ray-Tomasek, Osborn, & Olds, 2005). …”

Misperceptions of peer drinking norms have been found to be strongly associated with individual drinking behavior, especially for proximal reference groups such as same-sex friends. Less studied are the effects of perceived preferences from the opposite sex on alcohol use; that is, the behaviors an individual believe the opposite sex prefers from them. Research suggests that these perceived "reflective" normative preferences may be particularly salient among college women, who may drink in pursuit of intimate relationships and positive attention from male peers. Heterosexual undergraduate students from two universities participated in this project. Females answered questions regarding the amount of alcohol they believe a typical male would like his female friends, dates, or romantic partners to drink. Males answered the same questions, stating their actual preferences. Results showed that females overestimate the amount of alcohol males want their female friends, dating partners, and sexual partners to drink, and that this misperception was associated with their drinking behavior, even after controlling for perceived same-sex norms. These results suggest that reflective normative feedback may offer a powerful new tool for femaletargeted interventions. NIH-PA Author ManuscriptNIH-PA Author Manuscript NIH-PA Author ManuscriptAlthough traditionally men drink more than women, over the past 30 years women have steadily increased their consumption (Johnston, O'Malley, Bachman, & Schulenberg, 2007;O'Malley & Johnston, 2002). This increase has been particularly apparent in adolescents and college students. For example, in the 1950s only 6% of college women reported drinking once a week (Straus & Bacon, 1953), yet in 2001, nearly 17% reported consuming alcohol 10 or more times in the past month (Wechsler et al., 2002). Furthermore, longitudinal data suggest that women may be closing the gender gap. The prevalence of heavy episodic alcohol use (defined as four or more drinks for women, five or more for men) was 24% higher in men than women in 1986 and dropped to 16% in 1997(O'Malley & Johnston, 2002.This trend holds troublesome implications when considering the physiological differences that make women more vulnerable than men to the effects of alcohol. With less water in their bodies to dilute alcohol, and less of the stomach enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase to break it down, women achieve higher blood alcohol concentrations (BACs) in less time than men consuming the same amount of alcohol (NIAAA, 1999). This differential vulnerability may explain the greater risk of alcohol-related damage to the liver, heart, and brain displayed by female drinkers (NIAAA, 1999). Alcohol use has also been found to be a significant risk factor for sexual and other consequences. A woman's odds of experiencing sexual aggression are 3 to 9 times higher on days when she's consumed alcohol (Parks & Fals-Stewart, 2004), and more than 65% of the women involved in a sexual assault had been consuming alcohol at the time (Frintner & Rubinson, ...

“…The rationale underlying these interventions is that perceptions of what important others believe to be acceptable drinking behavior (perceived injunctive norms) and perceptions of others’ alcohol use (perceived descriptive norms) can directly influence an individuals’ own attitudes and behaviors. Students overestimate the frequency of alcohol use by other students (actual norm), putting them at-risk of conforming to this overestimated norm and engaging in greater alcohol use (Berkowitz, 2004). Social norms interventions aim to present information that corrects misperceptions of drinking norms and thus reduces the risk of students conforming to a misperceived norm and personally engaging risky drinking behaviors (Borsari & Carey, 2003).…”

Objective Multi-component parent-based interventions (PBIs) provide a promising avenue for targeting alcohol use and related consequences in college students. Parents of college-aged children can have a significant influence on their children’s alcohol use decisions. However, parents tend to underestimate their own child’s alcohol use and overestimate other similar parents’ approval of student drinking. These misperceptions could have important implications for parents’ own attitudes and alcohol-related communication with their student. Targeting these misperceptions through normative feedback could help promote greater and more in-depth alcohol-related communication. The present study examines the potential efficacy of web-based alcohol-related normative feedback for parents of college students. Method A sample of 144 parents of college students received web-based normative feedback about students’ alcohol use and approval, as well as other same-college parents’ alcohol approval. Parents completed measures of perceived student alcohol use, student alcohol approval, other-parent alcohol approval, and intentions to discuss alcohol use both pre- and post-normative feedback. Results Post-feedback, parents reported stronger intentions to talk to their student about alcohol, were less confident in their knowledge of their students’ alcohol use, and believed that their student drank in greater quantity and more frequently than pre-feedback. Parents also perceived other parents to be less approving of alcohol use after viewing normative feedback. Conclusions These findings provide preliminary support for the use of web-based normative feedback for parents of college students. Given these promising results, further research developing and testing this approach merits attention.
