简要总结
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a behavioural intervention to change binge drinking habits in university students in Romania is feasible. The main research question is:
Is a peer-led Alcohol Brief Intervention feasible to be implemented in a Romanian University to reduce binge drinking among students?
Researchers will compare brief intervention (counselling) to no intervention.
Student participants will:
- Receive brief counselling for 15-20 minutes by their peers who were trained.
- Report their alcohol consumption levels in three surveys conducted over three months.
详细描述
Pre-intervention focus group discussions: Students will be involved in group discussions, up to 90 minutes, to share their perspective on binge drinking.
Pre-intervention co-design workshop: Students will be involved in a 3-hour workshop to co-design messages to be used during the brief advice intervention.
University staff will be invited to participate in in-depth interviews lasting up to 60 minutes.
Intervention:
Student participants- They will be administered a pre-intervention survey lasting approximately 60-minutes by research assistants, a 15-20 minutes brief advice/counselling session by their peers, a midline survey of 5 minutes, and an endline survey of approximately 60 minutes administered by research assistants. these students will be invited to take part in a focus group at the end of the intervention lasting 90 minutes.

结局指标
主要结局
Recruitment rate
时间窗: Baseline, 3 month
Number of participants recruited
Intention to change
时间窗: Baseline, 3 month
Change in intention change using the Theory of Planned Behaviour tool. A 7 point Likert scale will be used.
Retention rate
时间窗: Baseline, 3 month
Number of participants retained
Knowledge on binge drinking and adverse outcomes
时间窗: Baseline, 1 month, 3 month
Change in knowledge on binge drinking and adverse outcomes. Ad hoc questions developed for this study will be used. Scoring will be done on the number questions answered correctly.
Attitude
时间窗: Baseline, 3 month
Change in attitude to binge drinking using the Theory of Planned Behaviour tool (by Cooke, R., 2007). A 7-point Likert scale will be used on five bipolar scales (harmful-beneficial, unpleasant-pleasant, bad-good, worthless-valuable, unenjoyable-enjoyable.
Subjective norms
时间窗: Baseline, 3 month
Change in subjective norms using the Theory of Planned Behaviour tool. A 7 point Likert scale will be used.
Feasibility outcome
时间窗: end line (month 3)
This will be explored qualitatively asking questions about study acceptability, appropriateness, and fidelity using semi-structured interview guidelines. (Note: This is a qualitative outcome; no scoring will be done)
次要结局
- Change in frequency of binge drinking in the past four weeks(Baseline, 1 month, 3month)
- Change in frequency of binge drinking in the past four weeks(Baseline, 1 month, 3month)
