Inclusion Criteria

Pre-intervention baseline - QuikFix Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) harm reduction workshop:
Those aged 17 + years who provide consent to participate in the research and complete the baseline survey will be eligible to participate in the evaluation. All first years at colleges allocated to Groups 1 and 2 will be able to attend the workshop regardless of their consent to participate in the research.

QuikFix Brief AOD Intervention:
Only socially influential first year students identified as risky drinkers at the colleges assigned to Group 2 (i.e., workshop + QuikFix) will be eligible to receive the QuikFix Brief Telehealth Intervention. Socially Influential first years will be identified using the first year cohorts’ responses to an adapted version of the Important People Instrument administered at 6-weeks post baseline (Clifford & Longabaugh, 1991).

Risky drinking is defined as consumption of 4 (if female) or 5 (if male) standard drinks on greater than or equal to 2 occasions in the past month (30 days; Barnett, 2019). Users of illicit drugs including cannabis will be eligible to receive QuikFix, as long as alcohol is the most frequently used drug (other than tobacco).
