Evaluation of Alcohol Education Programs on Attitude, Knowledge, and Self-Reported Behavior of College Students

State University of New York

This research was conducted as a pilot study to evaluate the effectiveness of two different types of alcohol education programs for college students. The educational programs were a teacher-centered motivational speech and "Alcohol 101," a new student-centered CD-ROM interactive program. The research was conducted at a public university in the Northeastern United States. A pretest/posttest quasi-experimental control group design was used. The instrument used was the Student Alcohol Questionnaire (SAQ). Univariate analysis of covariance was used to test for postintervention differences across groups for attitudes and knowledge about alcohol and self-reported alcohol consumption behavior. A statistically significant difference between groups for the second postintervention measure of attitude was identified. No significant differences in knowledge that could be attributed to the interventions were found, and no statistically significant differences were found for self-reported behavior.
