Summary

This trial tests a program called Positive Change (+Change) for college students aged 18 to 25 who engage in heavy episodic drinking. The program provides personalized feedback on alcohol use and sexual assault, tailored by gender and sexual orientation, and aims to reduce drinking, prevent victimization and perpetration, and increase bystander intervention. Researchers compare it to a control condition across two universities, and also test whether a booster session six months later improves long-term outcomes.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Positive Change (+Change), a personalized feedback program for college students that targets alcohol misuse and sexual assault, tailored by gender and sexual orientation
What this could lead to
If it works, this program could give colleges a practical tool to reduce heavy drinking and sexual assault on campus, and to encourage students to step in as bystanders.
What could go wrong
The trial is still in testing, and the program may not produce lasting changes. Results depend on students' willingness to engage with the material and apply it in real situations.
