Short Project Description
SNAP is in the 5th year of a NIAAA funded 5-year research project. The purpose of this research is to examine relationships among social norms, motivation, and drinking among college students and to evaluate the impact of normative information on perceived norms and drinking behavior. Participants will complete online surveys, and will be randomized to receive (or not receive) information comparing their drinking practices to other UW students drinking practices. In this 5th year of the project, we will be contacting participants to participate in the final phase of the project, where we will examine perceived norms for drinking among abstainers and light drinking students.
