Summary
This study looks at whether teaching college students protective strategies (like pacing drinks or avoiding shots) and setting personal goals can reduce risky drinking. About 300 students aged 18-25 who drink at least once a week will be split into three groups: one gets basic advice, another adds strategy selection, and a third adds goal-setting. After two weeks, researchers will check if the goal-setting group uses more protective strategies and experiences fewer negative consequences from alcohol.
