The current study aimed to determine the efficacy of a group-format alcohol intervention (CHOICES) combined with personalized online feedback (Echeckup ToGo for Alcohol) in a sample of mandated students. An assessment-only control group was recruited from a research pool of peers. The risk range of both groups was limited to moderate risk for alcohol-related problems (AUDIT range 6-14). Assessments were conducted at baseline and a 3-month follow-up examining binge drinking outcomes (peak BAC and binge drinking frequency), as well as alcohol-related problems. MANOVA results indicated a null treatment effect and lack of a main effect for Condition or Time. Group differences were covaried in the MANOVA analysis including age, gender, year in school, and housing status. Baseline drinking was also covaried due to its significant relationship with binge drinking outcomes. Hierarchical Linear Regression analyses were conducted to examine whether Theory of Planned Behavior variables (Perceived Behavioral Control and Behavioral Intentions) mediated the relationship between the CHOICES intervention and binge drinking behavior outcomes. The mediator model was partially supported in that the mediators were related to the outcomes. However, the lack of a treatment effect prevented full examination of the model. Recommendations for future research are provided. / A Dissertation submitted to the Department of Educational Psychology and Learning Systems in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. / Summer Semester, 2014. / September 26, 2013. / Alcohol Intervention, ASTP, Choices, College Students, Mandated Students, Theory of Planned Behavior / Includes bibliographical references. / Frances Prevatt, Professor Directing Dissertation; Dina Wilke, University Representative; Deborah Ebener, Committee Member; Debra Osborn, Committee Member.
