Abstract
PDF - Background
Brief interventions can inform young problematic drinkers about the risks associated with alcohol use. Ecological Momentary Interventions (EMIs), which provide feedback closer to the point of drinking, may help to translate the internal changes made from these brief interventions into actual behavior.
Methods
Thirty-six problematic drinkers aged 19∼34 years were randomly assigned to one of three groups: Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA), Standard EMI, or Tailored EMI. Participants in all groups completed two daily EMAs for four weeks following a single-session intervention. They reported their drinking intentions and motives for the current day, and their alcohol consumption and drinking motives from the previous day. The Standard EMI group received feedback on the general negative consequences of drinking, while the Tailored EMI group received feedback specifically tailored to their drinking motives based on their EMA responses.
Results
Problematic drinking, along with related variables (e.g., drinking behavior, alcohol consumption, negative consequences, alcohol expectancies, and drinking motives) was reduced across all groups.
Conclusions
Further research is needed on the potential of monitoring drinking behavior to reduce problematic drinking and how to improve tailored EMI.

Abstract

- Background
This study examined how the perceived stress of college students leads to drinking problems based on the Escape Theory.
Methods
A total of 485 college students were surveyed. A moderated mediation analysis was used to test the hypotheses.
Results
Since no significant correlation was found between perceived stress and drinking problem, the dependent variable was replaced with problematic drinking, a sub-factor of drinking problem. Escape from self fully mediated the relationship between perceived stress and problematic drinking. The interaction of perceived stress and dysfunctional self-focus was correlated with escape from self. Coping motives to drinking strengthened the pathways from escape from self to problematic drinking.
Conclusions
This study shows the need for therapeutic interventions to curb college students’ drinking problems. This study’s significance and limitations are also discussed. -
