Brief Alcohol Screening for Community College Students (BASICCS)

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Alcohol; Use, Problem

In brief

The present study focuses on examining the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects of an adapted alcohol intervention for high-risk college students attending community colleges. Investigators adapted BASICS (an efficacious in-person intervention developed for high-risk drinkers attending 4-year colleges and universities) to a web-conferencing format that allows the facilitator and participant to see and discuss live web-based personalized feedback. SMS text messages with protective behavioral strategies were also provided. The objective of the R34 was to establish feasibility and acceptability as well as to determine preliminary or likely effect sizes.
