Short Project Description
In collaboration with an out-of-state university, we will be implementing and collecting data for brief alcohol interventions. We want to know which types of services work best for mandated students who violated their campus alcohol policies. Research assistants on the project will play an important role in preparing for the launch of the project and assisting in the day-to-day tasks involved with running the project once the study has been launched.
Research assistants will learn the fundamentals of research-supported alcohol interventions, contact participants by phone and e-mail, oversee reminders and incentives, manage an online data set, and potentially learn the interventions and code sessions.
