Overview

Observational analysis shows protective behavioral strategies reduce alcohol-related harm in young adults, regardless of college enrollment.

Key Points

  • The study aims to assess the associations between protective behavioral strategies and alcohol-related consequences among young adults.
  • Observational study with day-level data collection over 30 days from 153 participants
  • Participants completed daily morning reports regarding alcohol use and consequences
  • Data analyzed using multilevel logistic regression to identify within-person associations
  • Lower odds of experiencing alcohol-related consequences on days using manner-of-drinking strategies (OR = 0.36, 95% CI = 0.25–0.53)
  • Significantly lower odds of blackout incidents (OR = 0.24, 95% CI = 0.14–0.42) on days with manner-of-drinking strategies
  • No significant effect of limiting/stopping strategies on either current or subsequent drinking days (both ORs = 1.06)
