“…Preventive measures, such as Internet-based, group and emergencyroom interventions [44][45][46][47][48] promoting responsible low-level consumption, are needed to increase young adults' awareness of the risks related to frequent and heavy drinking. As a complement to individual-oriented measures, structural measures aimed at reducing opportunities to engage in heavy drinking, such as increasing prices through taxation, limiting availability through restricted opening and selling hours, and staff training to ensure responsible beverage service, 49 might help young drinkers safely get through the period until they decide to drink more responsibly with increasing adult roles and responsibilities.…”

Using a full cross-lagged model, this study investigates the extent to which drinking motives predict alcohol use and related consequences, and vice versa. At baseline and 15 months later, 4,575 men (mean age = 19.4) in Switzerland completed a questionnaire assessing drinking motives, average weekly consumption, risky single-occasion drinking, and alcohol-related consequences. Results indicated that social and enhancement motives more strongly influenced alcohol use over time than the other way round. Coping motives predicted an increase in alcoholrelated consequences, and vice versa. Higher social motives predicted an increase in coping motives while higher coping motives predicted a decrease in enhancement motives. These results suggest that social and enhancement motives amplify each other in early adulthood and predict increases in risky drinking. Structural measures aimed at reducing opportunities to engage in heavy drinking are recommended. Additionally, the detection of young adult men vulnerable to maladaptive coping behaviors appears important for alcohol prevention strategies.

“…No such evaluations could be funded under the Rapid Response initiative, and the evaluators therefore relied on either longitudinal (Cranford et al, 2009) or quasi-experimental (Saltz et al, 2009;Wood et al, 2009) designs. Although a strong theoretical case can be made for environmental-level prevention (Toomey et al, 2007), the science of population-level interventions will remain stunted until several more large-scale randomized control trials are funded and implemented. Second, many of the studies involved repeated data collection over relatively long periods, sometimes as long as 9 months (Schaus et al, 2009b) or even into the subsequent academic year (Cranford et al, 2009).…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) created the Rapid Response to College Drinking Problems initiative so that senior college administrators facing an alcohol-related crisis could get assistance from well-established alcohol researchers and NIAAA staff. Method: Based on a competitive grant process, NIAAA selected fi ve teams of research scientists with expertise in college drinking research. NIAAA then invited college administrators to propose interventions to address a recently experienced alcohol-re- that emerged from that research. Eight articles present evaluation fi ndings for prevention and treatment interventions, which can be grouped by the individual, group/interpersonal, institutional, and community levels of the social ecological framework. Additional studies provide further insights that can inform prevention and treatment programs designed to reduce alcohol-related problems among college students. This article provides an overview of these fi ndings, placing them in the context of the college drinking intervention literature. Conclusions: College drinking remains a daunting problem on many campuses, but evidence-based strategies-such as those described in this supplement-provide hope that more effective solutions can be found. The Rapid Response initiative has helped solidify the necessary link between research and practice in college alcohol prevention and treatment. (J. Stud. Alcohol Drugs, Supplement No. 16: 5-11, 2009)

“…This discrepancy could explain why on-premises outlets report getting cited less despite having less stringent alcohol practices. Also, given that the literature on RBS suggests greater impact when combined with enforcement strategies like compliance checks (Toomey, Lenk, Wagenaar, 2007), conducting more on-premises checks could enhance the impact of the previous recommendation of engaging these on-premises establishments into more RBS training.…”

The Premises is the Premise: Understanding Off- and On-premises Alcohol Sales Outlets to Improve Environmental Alcohol Prevention Strategies

Environmental strategies to prevent the misuse of alcohol among youth-e.g., use of public policies to restrict minors' access to alcohol-have been shown to reduce underage drinking. However, implementation of policy changes often requires public and private partnerships. One way to support these partnerships is to better understand the target of many of the environmental strategies, which is the alcohol sales outlet. Knowing more about how off-premises outlets (e.g., liquor and convenience stores) and on-premises outlets (e.g., bars and restaurants) are alike and different could help community-based organizations better tailor, plan, and implement their environmental strategies and strengthen partnerships between the public and commercial sectors. We conducted a survey of managerial or supervisory staff and/or owners of 336 off-and onpremises alcohol outlets in six counties in South Carolina, comparing these two outlet types on their preferences regarding certain alcohol sales practices, beliefs toward underage drinking, alcohol sales practices, and outcomes. Multilevel logistic regression showed that while off-and on-premises outlets did have many similarities, off-premises outlets appear to engage in more
