Project e-PBI+ - Parent Intervention to Reduce College Student Drinking and Cannabis Use

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Underage Drinking, Cannabis Use, Drinking, Teen, Drinking, College, College Drinking, Teen Drinking

In brief

College students' risky drinking and cannabis use are major public health problems. The harms associated with risky drinking have been well-documented (such as deaths, blackouts, injuries, assaults, arrests, sexual consequences, academic consequences). Both college health administrators and parents have requested electronic parent-based interventions (e-PBIs) with additional content on cannabis. Parents have demonstrated ample motivation to communicate with their teens. The proposed research will attempt to enhance an existing effective e-PBI, curb the alarming trends noted in the literature, and move the field forward by conducting a randomized controlled trial testing a modified version of the e-PBI that includes updated content including the most up-to-date scientific information from cannabis studies (e-PBI+).
