ResumoO aumento do consumo de álcool entre universitários tem gerado preocupações nos estudiosos da área que buscam intervenções preventivas efi cazes à diminuição desse consumo. Este estudo avaliou o padrão de consumo de álcool e suas consequências, antes e após a aplicação da intervenção BASICS (Brief Alcohol Screnning and Intervention for College Students) em uma amostra de universitários brasileiros, sendo em sua maioria estudantes do sexo feminino (53,1%) e da faixa etária de 18 a 24 anos (84,4%). Foram utilizados os instrumentos The Alcohol Use Disorders Identifi cation Test (AUDIT) e o Rutgers Alcohol Problem Index (RAPI) para caracterização do consumo de álcool e levantamento de suas consequências. Os que pontuaram acima de oito no AUDIT foram convidados a participar de um grupo experimental ou controle. A análise dos dados revelou que não houve diferença estatisticamente signifi cativa entre os grupos após a intervenção. Em ambos os grupos houve: diminuição das doses consumidas, menos prática de binge drinking e redução de algumas das consequências negativas. Tal resultado indica uma importante contribuição na área e sugere que o levantamento do padrão de consumo de álcool e o seu respectivo feedback pode gerar efeitos positivos na diminuição do consumo de álcool, assim como das suas consequências entre estudantes universitários.

AbstractThe increase in alcohol consumption among college students has increased concerns among researchers seeking effective preventive interventions to decrease their consumption. This study assessed the pattern of alcohol consumption and its consequences before and after applying the BASICS intervention (Brief Alcohol Screnning and Intervention for College Students) in a sample of Brazilian university, with mostly female students (53.1%) aged between 18 and 24 years (84.4%). The Alcohol Use Disorders Identifi cation Test (AUDIT) and Rutgers Alcohol Problem Index (RAPI) tools were used to characterize alcohol consumption and its consequences. Those who scored above eight on the AUDIT were invited to participate in an experimental or control group. Data analysis revealed no statistically signifi cant difference between groups. In both groups there were: a decrease in used dosages, less practice of binge drinking, and decrease in some negative consequences. This result indicates an important contribution in the area and suggests that the screening of alcohol consumption pattern and its respective feedback can generate positive effects in the reduction of alcohol consumption, as well as its consequences among college students.

“…With adolescents, MI has been effective in motivating healthy behavior change in substance use and dietary choices (Erickson, Gerstle, & Feldstein, 2005;Gray, McCambridge, & Strang, 2005;Mastroleo, Turrisi, Carney, Ray, & Larimer, 2010;Resnicow, Davis & Rollnick, 2006;Tollison et al, 2008). MI has also been used in studies of repeat pregnancy in teens.…”

When teen mothers do not graduate from high school, they and their children risk a lifetime of negative outcomes. They face major economic and health difficulties, often repeated across generations. To address this growing national concern that particularly impacts Hispanic teen mothers, we began by training young nonprofessional peer mentors in motivational interviewing (MI) to provide one-to-one support for teen mothers. To our knowledge, young non-clinicians have never before been formally evaluated for MI competency. Our preliminary investigation tested whether teen mothers who had succeeded in graduating could use MI effectively in conversations with their peers who had not yet completed high school. The six peer mentors were able to attain basic competency in MI. Some of their demonstrated skills went beyond competency to MI proficiency as measured by the MITI coding system. They also expressed their enthusiasm for the experience. They fully participated in the study protocols and also maintained the spirit of MI throughout the study. These findings are being used to design a training strategy for the peer mentors that can be used in schools and clinics throughout New Mexico. The question we asked was: "Can these young mothers, who have succeeded in graduating from high school, competently use MI to support other teen moms to continue their education?" The answer in this feasibility study was "yes".

“…In the practice of university professional track and field teaching, on the one hand, the teaching plan of less teaching hours; on the other hand, the students' physical quality to the low professional sports recruit, must let the student in a relatively short period of time to firmly grasp the track and field sports theoretical knowledge and skills is very difficult. Therefore, we should adjust measures to local conditions to increase the flexibility of the track and field course teaching, the pertinence and practicality [2][3]. Over the years from the first-line teaching in college athletics teaching, deeply track all aspects of information query, modify, competition arrangement, classification, composition and related information of the amateur sports training collection, time-consuming, and is not standardized [4].…”
