A Media Based Motivational Intervention to Prevent Alcohol Exposed Pregnancies (AEPs)

Completed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Alcohol Consumption, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Disorders, Students

In brief

The study evaluated the effectiveness of a mail-based self-guided motivational intervention based on Project CHOICES to reduce alcohol-exposed pregnancies (AEP) with female students and non-students 18 to 44 years of age living in Florida. The investigators hypothesize that the motivational intervention will significantly reduce more women's risk of an AEP than will an informational intervention aimed at preventing fetal alcohol syndrome. Materials will be available in Spanish and English
