Summary

This study looks at whether a 20-minute writing task can change how college seniors view themselves as drinkers and help them drink less after graduation. About 468 students from two universities will complete the writing exercise and answer surveys over a year. Researchers hope this simple approach could become a new way to prevent alcohol misuse during a major life transition.
