An Intervention to Decrease Heavy Episodic Drinking in College Students: The Effect of Executive Function Training.
Objective: To develop and test a planning-ability, executive function (EF) intervention to reduce heavy episodic drinking (HED).Participants: Fifty-five heavy-drinking, first-year college students, recruited from May to October 2012.Methods: Participants were randomly allocated to an experimental or...

Over 1 week, the experimental group completed 4 progressively harder planning tasks, whereas the control group completed 4 easier, consistent-difficulty planning tasks. Participants then recorded their daily alcohol consumption for 2 weeks.Results: As hypothesized, both mean and maximum per-occasion alcohol consumption was significantly reduced in the experimental group compared with the control group. There were no significant differences in frequency of HED.Conclusions: These results provide initial support for the use of a planning-ability intervention in decreasing per-occasion alcohol consumption. Future researchers can examine the mechanism of effect, the long-term efficacy, and the specific EFs involved in other aspects of alcohol consumption. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts randomized controlled trial Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
