Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test [6 months post-intervention]
A self-report measure that examines alcohol use and problems. This measure produces one total score that is interpreted as "alcohol use and problems."
- Bystander Behavior Scale [6 months post-intervention]
A self-report measure that examines opportunities and engagement in prosocial bystander behavior. A single total score is obtained by calculating the percentage of times individuals engaged in bystander behavior based on the number of opportunities they had for such behavior.
