The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.

Protective Behavioral Strategies and Brief Alcohol Interventions @ University of Missouri-Columbia
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The primary objective of this project is to examine factors that are associated with the effectiveness of intervention programs designed to reduce high-risk drinking among heavy drinking college students. Previous research has found similar effect sizes for different types of multi-component, brief interventions among college students, but little research has assessed the degree to which specific components of such interventions are associated with intervention outcomes. One common component of motivational enhancing interventions among college students involves providing cognitive-behavioral self-control strategies designed to reduce one's use of alcohol, which we term "protective behavioral strategies" (PBS). However, there are two important factors that limit our understanding of the effects of PBS on client outcomes. First, the use of these strategies in motivational enhancing programs has generally not been assessed in a systematic manner, due in part to the fact that until recently a standardized measure of such strategies did not exist. Second, researchers have yet to conduct studies that have assessed whether or not interventions focused solely on PBS cause changes in alcohol-related outcomes, which would clearly identify PBS as an active intervention component. Participants in this project will be "at-risk" college student drinkers who will be assigned to one of three conditions: a Protective Behavioral Strategies Feedback condition, an education-only control condition, and a Personalized Normative Feedback condition. This latter condition will allow for comparisons with a single-component treatment that has been shown to reduce alcohol consumption, but not alcohol-related negative consequences. Participant will complete self-report measures of alcohol-related variables at baseline, 2-, and 7-month follow-ups. Analyses of follow-up group differences while controlling for baseline values will be used to determine the effectiveness of the intervention programs, and structural equation modeling will be used to determine if increases in PBS result in reductions in alcohol use/alcohol-related problems. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Excessive college student drinking represents an important public health problem for both the students themselves and those with whom they interact. The objective of this research is to better understand how to reduce such high-risk drinking by improving prevention and treatment programs, which will provide an overall public health benefit.

Personalized Drinking Feedback Interventions For Oef/Oif Veterans @ University of Missouri-Columbia
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The primary objective of this project is to assess the efficacy of a computer delivered personalized drinking feedback (PDF) intervention among veterans of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq (OEF/OIF). Research has shown that OEF/OIF veterans are at-risk for a number of mental health problems, including hazardous alcohol use. Unfortunately, it is also the case that many OEF/OIF veterans who report hazardous alcohol use are not receiving any services designed to help them reduce their drinking. Interventions that utilized personalized drinking feedback, such as comparing one's alcohol use to relevant norms, summaries of alcohol-related problems experienced, use or lack thereof of alcohol-related protective behaviors, and family history of alcoholism, have been shown to be efficacious in the context of one-on-one motivational interviewing-based interventions. More recently, studies primarily among the college student population have supported the efficacy of PDF interventions delivered without clinical contact, or "PDF-only" interventions. PDF-only interventions are innovative, low cost, and relatively easy to disseminate, but their effectiveness at preventing hazardous alcohol use among non-college populations is largely unknown. Given the high rates of hazardous drinking among OEF/OIF veterans combined with their lack of service utilization, PDF-only interventions may be a way to provide this at-risk group with needed services. Therefore, the primary purpose of the study will be to test the effectiveness of a computer delivered PDF-only intervention at preventing hazardous alcohol-use and alcohol-related problems among OEF/OIF military veterans. A secondary aim will be to examine potential mediators and moderators of intervention effectiveness. Subjects will be randomized to either a PDF-only or educational information condition, and will complete measures of alcohol use, alcohol-related problems, and other alcohol-related variables at baseline, one-month, and six-month follow-up. Analyses of follow-up between-group differences while controlling for baseline values will be used to determine the efficacy of the PDF-only intervention. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Excessive drinking among OEF/OIF veterans represents an important public health problem for both the veterans themselves and those with whom they interact. The objective of this research is to better understand how to reduce hazardous drinking among this group by assessing the effectiveness of a low-cost, computer-delivered preventive program.
