A Behavioral Activation Intervention Administered in a College Freshman Orientation Course

Completed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Alcohol; Use, Problem, Stress, Binge Eating, Depression

In brief

The transition from high school to college is a developmentally sensitive period that is high risk for escalations in alcohol use. Although risky drinking is a common problem among freshmen, engagement in treatment services is very low. The proposed study will test a behavioral activation intervention that addresses factors limiting participation in standard treatment services by targeting alcohol use indirectly, by directly addressing concerns most relevant to incoming college freshmen, and by integrating an intervention into the college curriculum.
