An interventional study of Personalized Feedback Intervention in Alcohol Drinking, sponsored by Old Dominion University. Completed. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 25 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2018-01-04.
Sponsored by Old Dominion University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Prevention
Emerging adulthood is a period of heightened vulnerability for problematic alcohol use. Considerable research has been devoted to reducing alcohol risks in college student populations, though far less effort has focused on their noncollege-attending peers. Research targeting nonstudent emerging adults is critical as this group is at risk for experiencing alcohol-related harms. Consequently, the main objective of the present study was to examine the preliminary efficacy of a brief personalized feedback intervention (PFI) tailored for nonstudent at-risk drinkers.
701 studies on the registry are indexed under Alcohol Drinking; 133 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 164 is above the median of 122 across 607 interventional studies indexed under Alcohol Drinking.

Exclusion Criteria:
Behavioral: Personalized Feedback Intervention
The current intervention included personalized feedback regarding their alcohol consumption, alcohol-related consequences, gender-specific normative drinking comparisons, personal risk factors (e.g., dependence symptoms, family history of alcoholism), and alcohol expectancies. The intervention also included didactic material related to alcohol (e.g., effects at different BAC levels, tolerance) and drinking moderation strategies. The feedback was presented graphically in a feedback report with the individual's information.
Alcohol use quantity
Alcohol consumption was assessed using the Daily Drinking Questionnaire (DDQ; Collins et al., 1985). Participants reported the number of standard drinks (e.g., 12-ounce beer, 5-ounce wine, or 1.5 ounce liquor) consumed and duration each day during a typical week in the past 3 months. Indices of weekly drinking derived from the DDQ were: total quantity, frequency of drinking days, number of heavy drinking days (days where 4/5+ drinks for women/men were consumed), proportion of heavy drinking days out of total drinking days, maximum number of drinks on the heaviest drinking day, and typical blood alcohol concentration (BAC; see Matthews \& Miller, 1979).
Time frame: 9 months
Alcohol-related harms
Alcohol-related problems were measured by the Brief Young Adult Alcohol Consequences Questionnaire (B-YAACQ; Kahler et al., 2005). The B-YAACQ is a 24-item, yes-no format questionnaire assessing negative drinking-related consequences experienced during the past month. Items were summed to create an overall score (ranging from 0 to 24), with higher scores indicating greater severity.

Ran from Jul 2013 to primary completion in Dec 2015, 28 months.
Of 328 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Alcohol Drinking, half reached primary completion within 24 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 11 and three quarters within 45. This study's 28 months is above that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 336 studies reached it within 24 months; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 45.
