“…This may refl ect that older students are more likely to drink at venues that require transportation , increasing their likelihood to engage in DAD. Harmreduction efforts among college students often target freshmen, who tend to have the highest rates of alcohol consumption (Turrisi et al, 2000) and display alcohol-dependence symptoms at higher rates than the general adult population (Grekin and Sher, 2006). In contrast, because Notes: Odds ratios are reported for the fi nal step of the logistic regression.…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: Despite prevention efforts, driving after drinking (DAD) is a prevalent high-risk behavior among college students and is a leading cause of death and injury. Examination of factors predicting future DAD behavior is necessary to develop effi cacious targeted interventions to reduce this behavior among college students. The current study evaluated demographic, social cognitive, and behavioral predictors of DAD using longitudinal data. Method: Participants were 655 nonabstaining college students (67.2% female; 60.3% White; M age = 19.3 years) who completed online surveys at two time points 12 months apart. Results: Results revealed that participants consistently overestimated their peers' approval (injunctive norms) of DAD. In a three-step hierarchical logistic regression model, injunctive norms, age, and past DAD behavior uniquely contributed to the prediction of this behavior 12 months later. Neither sex nor membership in a sorority or fraternity emerged as signifi cant predictors. Conclusions: The fi ndings provide important new insights into the longitudinal predictors of DAD among college students and highlight the need for DAD interventions, particularly among older students.

“…Freshmen are a subgroup of the college student population that is particularly at risk for problematic drinking and its consequences (Baer et al, 1995;Grekin & Sher, 2006;Ichiyama & Kruse, 1998;Thompson et al, 2006;Turrisi et al, 2000). For example, Turrisi, Padilla, and Wiermsa (2000) found that freshmen consumed larger amounts of alcohol than their upperclass peers did.…”

“…Alcohol abuse and related negative consequences continue to be problematic for college students (Hingson, Heeren, Winter, & Wechsler, 2005;Hingson, Heeren, Zakocs, Kopstein, & Wechsler, 2002;O'Malley & Johnston, 2002), particularly for freshmen (Baer, Kivlahan, & Marlatt, 1995;Grekin & Sher, 2006;Ichiyama & Kruse, 1998;Thompson, Leinfelt, & Smyth, 2006;Turrisi, Padilla, & Wiermsa, 2000). Social norms approaches (i.e., social norms marketing and personalized normative feedback) that aim to reduce college student drinking rest on the premise that reduction in perceptions of peer drinking behavior will result in reductions in personal drinking behavior (Perkins, 2002).…”

This research evaluated the efficacy of a computerized, freshmen-specific personalized normative feedback (PNF) intervention on reducing alcohol consumption among high-risk drinking freshmen. Students (N = 316; 53.8% female) completed measures of perceived drinking norms and drinking behavior. After completing the baseline assessment, students were randomly assigned to receive either freshmen-specific PNF that was gender-specific or gender-neutral, or to assessment only control. Findings demonstrated that students exhibited normative misperceptions for typical freshmen drinking behavior and that perceptions of typical same-sex freshmen drinking were positively associated with riskier drinking behavior. At follow-up, students randomly assigned to receive PNF reduced perceptions of typical freshmen drinking behavior and personal drinking behavior relative to those who did not receive PNF. Findings extend previous evaluations of computer-based PNF and suggest that computer-based PNF for incoming freshmen using utilizing freshmen-specific norms that are gender-specific may constitute a promising prevention strategy.

“…While analyses showed there were very few significant differences among completers and noncompleters, completers were still more likely to be upperclassmen compared to noncompleters. Given that the primary unexpected finding in the current study was between two alcohol-related variables -PBS and alcohol consequences -this could have obscured the results, as freshmen tend to drink more than upperclassmen (e.g., Turrisi, Padilla, & Wiersma, 2000). The drop in participants to 107 also likely had consequences for the data analyses; having additional participants could have increased the statistical power and found significant results.…”

Rumination, worry, and drinking behaviors in college students : a mediation analysis.

Mental health and alcohol-related behaviors are constructs of concern on university campuses, as a significant portion of college students experience alcoholrelated consequences. There is an established link between mental health variables, including repetitive thoughts associated with depression and anxiety, and drinking behaviors among college students. However, how preventative behaviors -protective behavioral strategies -impact the associations between repetitive thoughts and drinking behaviors and outcomes is less understood. The current longitudinal study analyzed mediational relationships among these variables in college students at a mid-sized 4-year university (N = 107; 78.5% female; average age = 21.06 years, SD = 4.41). Analyses indicated that no mediational relationships existed among the variables. Moreover, the alcohol consequences measure did not have a significant relationship with any of the other study variables. Implications and limitations are discussed.iv
