Despite efforts to address this problem student use/abuse of alcohol continues. The purpose of this study was to determine which of three alcohol education instructional approaches more significantly impacted students' attitudes regarding the acceptance of alcohol use/abuse. Three hypotheses were tested to determine the impact on students' knowledge about alcohol, attitudes toward the use/abuse of alcohol and the relationship between knowledge and attitude. A review of the literature found there were three instructional approaches most commonly used in college alcohol education programs: responsible drinking, values clarification and disease concept. Three alcohol education programs were developed, each with an identical information component, but with a different motivational component which focused on either responsible drinking, values clarification or disease concept. A sample of 543 first term, freshmen, residence hall students was drawn from three regional colleges in Southern Oregon and Northern California, resulting in 267 usable questionnaires. To measure student knowledge and attitudes an instrument consisting of demographic questions, questions from a portion of the Claydon College Drinking Questionnaire and the Torabi-Veenker Alcohol Attitude Scale was administered at the end of each program. A 3 by 3 by 2 randomized blocks design was used in this study. The dependent variable was "instructional approach". The two independent sequential blocking variables were "college" and "sex". Three professional alcohol and drug counselors were trained and presented a different alcohol education program at each college so a complete crossing over of the instructor influence among all treatment groups was attained. Analysis of variance determined that there was no significant difference among the three instructional approaches regarding students' knowledge about alcohol. Analysis of variance determined that there was a significant difference among the three instructional approaches regarding students' attitudes, with the values clarification approach resulting in significantly less accepting attitudes for women regarding alcohol use/abuse. There was no significant correlation between knowledge about alcohol and attitudes toward alcohol use/abuse.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of two different types of alcohol education interventions on the attitudes about alcohol consumption in college, knowledge about alcohol, and self-reported alcohol consumption behavior of college students. The educational interventions were a student-centered CD-Rom interactive program, and a teacher-centered motivational speaker. Each intervention took approximately 60 minutes. The research was conducted at a small public university in Northern New York. Nine classes with a total enrollment of 360 students were randomly selected for the research. The demographic makeup of the sample was similar to that of the overall university population, including gender, class level, membership in Greek organizations and age. Three classes were randomly assigned to the CD-Rom program, three classes were randomly assigned to hear a motivational speaker, and three classes were randomly assigned to a control group. The instrument used was the Student Alcohol Questionnaire (SAQ). Students in all classes completed the SAQ four weeks after the Fall, 1999 semester began. The interventions were conducted the following week. The SAQ was administered again four, eight and twelve weeks post-intervention. Two measures of alcohol consumption behavior were used: A continuous variable measure of both amount of alcohol consumed and consequences related to intoxication, and a dichotomous variable for "heavy drinking," which is defined as more than five drinks in a row at least once a week. Multivariate analysis of variance was used to test for differences across attitude, knowledge and behavior and bivariate combinations of these outcome variables by group. No statistically significant differences were found on any of the post-interventions measures for any combination of aftitude, knowledge or behavior. Analysis of covariance was used to test for behavior difference alone, using the pre-intervention questionnaire results as the covariate. No statistically significant differences were found for behavior alone. Multiple regression techniques were used to determine if alcohol consumption behavior, as measured on the continuous scale, could be predicted by gender, grade point average, class level or religion. Gender (p .000) was the only predictor variable that was statistically significant, with men students consuming more alcohol than women students.

Book Synopsis Alcohol Education by : David J. Hanson

Book excerpt: In spite of a massive national investment in alcohol education, the evidence clearly demonstrates that our current efforts are overwhelmingly ineffective and are often counterproductive. The assessment of the effectiveness of alcohol programs over the past 15 years reveals that those based on the responsible-use approach tend to be superior to those based on the abstinence approach. Hanson puts the historical relationship between Americans and alcohol into perspective, discusses federal policies on alcohol that are highly ideological and biased, and advocates the development of responsible-use curricula that will prepare students to be, as adults, responsible consumers of alcohol. While alcohol has been praised as a sign of refinement, a source of relaxation, and a complement to good times, it has also been cursed as the cause of disease and death. The temperance movement, which taught that alcohol was poison and that moderation in its use was no more possible than moderation in murder, has greatly influenced American thought and is reflected in our abstinence-oriented approach to alcohol education. Current programs reflect not only these abstinence origins but the inclusion of drug education several decades ago. Hanson finds that, despite good intentions, evidence indicates that this approach has proved ineffective. He considers the strong and often mixed feelings Americans have toward alcohol that are reflected in ever-changing public policy and concludes that the development and evaluation of alcohol education programs should be based on the best scientific evidence available rather than on political ideology. Recommendations for change in alcohol education are presented, with the most important being that we must promote the development and evaluation of diverse responsible-use curricula with the goal of reducing alcohol abuse.

Book excerpt: Alcohol: Minimising the Harm presents a non ideological and pragmatic review of the effectiveness of key strategies designed to achieve a significant reduction in levels of problem drinking. These strategies are described and critically assessed by some of the world's leading authorities on the use of alcohol and its related problems. Alcohol: Minimising the Harm is wide-ranging and international in scope, including evidence from non-industrial societies. The evidence is considered within the context of the history of alcohol control policies and the ongoing polemic concerning the harm minimisation approach to problems associated not only with alcohol but also tobacco and illicit drugs. Strategies and policies are critically and pragmatically assessed in the light of the question, 'What works?'
