This study tested a brief, web-based personalized feedback program aimed at reducing alcohol use and alcohol-related consequences among 9th grade students (N = 513). Results indicated no differences between the control group and intervention group on either frequency of drinking or alcohol-related consequences at the 6-month follow-up. Reductions in alcohol use and the associated consequences found at the 3-month follow-up were not sustained across the academic year. Results indicate brief, web-based feedback programs may not be sufficient to provide a sustained impact on alcohol use and alcohol-related consequences over time, suggesting either booster sessions or adjunctive interventions, such as parent-based interventions, may be warranted for this age group.

Addictive Behaviors
Alcohol use increases substantially during the transition from middle school to high school. This study tested a brief, web-based personalized feedback program aimed at reducing risk factors for drinking, alcohol use, and alcohol-related consequences among 9th grade students. At a 3-month follow-up, students in the intervention group showed positive results relative to those in the control group on variables associated with reduced risk, including positive alcohol expectancies and positive beliefs about alcohol. Students in the intervention group also reported a reduction in drinking frequency and alcohol-related consequences relative to those in the control group. There were, however, no differences in normative beliefs regarding peer drinking or quantity of weekly drinking between the two groups. Results indicate that a brief, web-based personalized normative feedback program delivered in the school setting is a promising approach to reducing alcohol use and the associated consequences among 9th grade students.
... Protective factors associated with adolescent substance misuse include parent-child connectedness (Abar et al., 2014;Piko & Kovacs, 2010;Ryan et al., 2010;Van Ryzin et al., 2012), parental monitoring (Doumas et al., 2015a,b;Fay et al., 2020;Kim & Neff, 2010;Patel et al., 2021;Pelham et al., 2023;Piko & Kovacs, 2010;Van Ryzin et al., 2012), parental disapproval (Doumas et al., 2015a,b;Hausheer et al., 2016), parent-child drug communication (Huansuriya et al., 2014), and parent-child general communication (Doumas et al., 2015ab;Hausheer et al., 2016;Patel et al., 2021;Van Ryzin et al., 2012), accentuating the importance of engaging parents in adolescent substance misuse prevention. Building strong connections between parent and child and engaging in parent-child general communication can help to strengthen the parent-child relationship, particularly during the transition into adolescence when peer relationships become more influential. ...

... Digital health interventions that combine motivation-enhancement and accurate peer norms may be especially well-suited to treat CINI youth in justice settings because they are accessible, customizable, portable, and show evidence of reducing cannabis use [34][35][36][37][38][39]. Among adolescents who receive brief computerized SU treatments [40], effects appear to fade over time [41], suggesting that adjunct treatments may be needed to help sustain gains. Smartphone apps are an especially appealing means of providing youth ongoing, on-demand care as an adjunct to concurrent or recently completed services (eg, continuing care and recovery support). ...

... Furthermore, Jalilian et al. performed a web-based education intervention and reported that the e-intervention had a practical approach to addressing the attitude toward alcohol drinking in university students (16). Doumas et al. (22) also confirmed the usefulness of web-based interventions regarding reducing positive attitudes toward alcohol consumption. On the other hand, the evidence indicates that increasing the negative attitude towards substance abuse can be an effective strategy in preventing and reducing substance abuse (23,24). ...
