OUTCOME REPORT INTRODUCTION

Outcome Report data is based on self-reporting from students completing the Under the Influence course for the reporting period defined in the Outcome Report Summary section.

3rd Millennium Classrooms is committed to providing evidence-based prevention and intervention programs. We actively conduct, support, and participate in research that rigorously evaluates the efficacy of our programs.

The Outcome Report compares survey, self-assessment (eCHECKUP TO GO), and test data from the Under the Influence course. This report provides data concerning the change in student opinions, knowledge, and behaviors before and after completing the course.

Campus administrators need to consider collected data carefully when evaluating the efficacy of program reports; however large the sample size. We encourage you to look for programs where efficacy data is derived from strong research designs with randomized controls.

There are now 11 controlled studies all demonstrating significant reductions in alcohol consumption among college students completing the 15-minute eCHECKUP TO GO online intervention included in our course. You can review these studies at the following websites:

Section A APPENDIX: RESEARCH RESULTS

A-1 Test Results • Brief intervention among freshman college students, previously identified as being at high risk for harmful consequences of heavy drinking, has been shown to result in a significant decline in alcohol-related problems. (Marlatt, G.A.; Baer, J.S.; Kivlahan, D.R.; et al. Screening and brief intervention for high-risk college student drinkers: Results from a 2-year follow-up assessment. J Consult Clin Psychol 66(4):604-615, 1998. (29) Roberts, L.J.; Neal, D.J.; Kivlahan, D.R.; Baer, J.S.; and Marlatt, G.A. Individual drinking changes following a brief intervention among college students: Clinical significance in an indicated preventive context. J Consult Clin Psychol 68(3):500-505, 2000. A-2 Drinking Profile • eCHECKUP TO GO has produced drinking reductions in controlled trials at three major universities (Schroeder, 2001; Walters, 2000; Walters, Bennett & Miller, 2000;). In the first trial, a group of heavy drinking students showed a reduction of 59.4 drinks per month (DPM), as compared with those in the control group who remained relatively unchanged (decrease of 1.5 DPM). In the second trial, students who received feedback showed a decrease of 28.3 DPM, as compared with a decrease of 11.9 in the control group. In the third trial, sorority pledges showed a decrease of 11.5 DPM, as compared with an increase of 1.7 in the control. Finally, in an uncontrolled trial, students enrolled in a university course on addictions showed a decrease of 12.7 DPM.

A randomized trial of the eCHECKUP TO GO web-based binge drinking intervention was conducted among college freshmen. Results indicated that participants who received the eCHECKUP TO GO significantly reduced their weekly alcohol consumption, and that this was particularly so for male participants.

A-3 Intoxication Levels • Brief interviews in which feedback is provided to students have been shown to produce significant decreases in levels of consumption six weeks following the intervention (Borsari and Carey, 2000) and to diminish the likelihood of experiencing negative, alcohol-related consequences for at least four years (Baer et al., 2001). A-5 Consequences of Drinking • Physically injured yourself 500,000 students between the ages of 18 and 24 are unintentionally injured under the influence of alcohol (Hingson et al., 2002).

1,400 college students between the ages of 18 and 24 die each year from alcohol-related unintentional injuries, including motor vehicle crashes (Hingson et al., 2002).

• Physically injured another person More than 600,000 students between the ages of 18 and 24 are assaulted by another student who has been drinking (Hingson et al., 2002). • Been involved in a fight About 5 percent of 4-year college students are involved with the police or campus security as a result of their drinking (Wechsler et al., 2002) and an estimated 110,000 students between the ages of 18 and 24 are arrested for an alcohol-related violation such as public drunkenness or driving under the influence (Hingson et al., 2002).

More than 600,000 students between the ages of 18 and 24 are assaulted by another student who has been drinking (Hingson et al., 2002).

About 11 percent of college student drinkers report that they have damaged property while under the influence of alcohol (Wechsler et al., 2002).

Page 15 of 16 Outcome Report - Under the Influence

• Did something you later regretted About 25 percent of college students report academic consequences of their drinking including missing class, falling behind, doing poorly on exams or papers, and receiving lower grades overall (Engs et al., 1996; Presley et al., 1996a, 1996b; Wechsler et al., 2002).

2.1 million students between the ages of 18 and 24 drove under the influence of alcohol last year (Hingson et al., 2002).

• Forgot where you were or what you did 22% of students (27% of drinkers) reported at least one incident of having forgotten where they were or what they did due to drinking in the past year (Wechsler et al., 1998). • Had someone use force or threat of force to have sex with you More than 70,000 students between the ages of 18 and 24 are victims of alcohol-related sexual assault or date rape (Hingson et al., 2002). • Had unprotected sex 400,000 students between the ages of 18 and 24 have unprotected sex and more than 100,000 students between the ages of 18 and 24 report having been too intoxicated to know if they consented to having sex (Hingson et al., 2002). A-6 Effects of Alcohol Use • Anecdotal evidence suggests that the first 6 weeks of the first semester are critical to a first-year student’s academic success. Because many students initiate drinking during these early days of college, the potential exists for excessive alcohol consumption interfering with successful adaptation to campus life.
