Alcohol Intervention Services in college students

 

Alcohol intake among students continues to be a source of concern. Interventions using the Internet as a mode of distribution are being created, building on the existing evidence base for conventional brief interventions. Some students misuse alcoholic drinks leading to the things that are needed to be helped. And only experts can help them. To conduct a systematic review of the literature on the implementation of brief alcohol intervention services in primary care in order to assess the efficacy of health care providers' implementation efforts. This is a crucial question. How effective have attempts to introduce brief alcohol treatments in primary health care settings been? Is it the most effective way of treating the young ones? 

Brief intervention activity increased with the degree of implementation effort in studies that compared various implementation strategies, though the level of implementation differed greatly among the studies. That’s why it is more effective for the students in college to be on that intervention. They can be more trained and responsible citizen as well as youth. The cost-effectiveness of marketing and educating primary care physicians in brief intervention for hazardous alcohol use was investigated. Physicians were allocated to one of three marketing campaigns to encourage the "uptake" of a brief intervention kit for dangerous and unsafe alcohol consumption. There are different methods to choose from depending on what will be effective.  College students are well known for their high rates of alcohol use and abuse, as well as the negative effects of this action. Brief programs with high-risk college students have been shown to be effective in reducing alcohol intake and its effects, according to research. Some universities offer alcohol intervention services to their students as their help and to avoid the misuse of alcohol. 

Several options for screening and interventions are available on college campuses, including universal or large-scale tests, health services, and counseling centers to deal with students who breach campus alcohol policies. When introducing screening and brief interventions in college communities, think about who can administer the interventions and how they should be delivered. The content and method of the brief interventions should be focused on the existing empirical evidence about proven efficacious interventions, regardless of how the measures are enforced. 

Students who drink excessively in high school have been found to keep up their drinking habits in college. And parents do not have the enough time to deal with their children because of the pressure of work and family, and alcohol intervention services might be a great help for the parents to avoid their children to the wrong doing and be guided accordingly to a good behavior on campus. One suggestion is to provide institutional resources for a health or counseling services provider who is known as a specialist in this field, lowering the barrier to entry and eliminating the need for referrals to off-campus providers. College students are not just easy to cater, however some of them do this not because they want it, but they are already a victim of abuse.

Alcohol Abuse must be treated

 

Intervention alcohol abuse targets the different ages and different situation. Some people are currently struggling with misuse of alcohol, maybe they had too much of it. Most of them are greatly affected by that kind of problem. The usual cater of this intervention are the one who is in adolescent stage, because they are the one who is irresponsible and may become a victim of this abuse. Adolescent stage, this are the stage in which you want to do the things that you are curious about for example the premarital sex, out of curiosity youths nowadays intend to do that without their parents’ consent leading to teenage pregnancy. Like the intervention alcohol abuse, youths are very vulnerable and do the things without thinking what would be the outcome if they do it. 

Some experts believe that couple treatment would be better for intervention alcohol abuse but as long as it is effective single or couple can be a big help for the intervention. Alcohol can cause trauma to someone, even if they are the user of it or they are the one who suffer from abuse because of alcohol. Let me give you an example, for a college student happy hour means do everything you want and basically you will do it with your friends, but in a room, you are not with your really best friends, you are with your so-called colleagues that you just met in school or some party, well having too much alcohol in your body can cause black out, and we do not know what would happen to you and your friends if all of you have too much intake of alcohol. That’s why every commercial of alcohol drinks always say that you should drink responsibly, because it can cause disease, or worst death. 

Heavy drinkers intend to drink a lot especially when they are pre-occupied with problems at home, in their workplace, or maybe in school. They see alcohol as their escape to the reality that they are facing, but the reality they are just letting their problems became worst than they expected. The truth, alcohol cannot help you in your problem, they are just an instrument to avoid the overthinking of yours. We all have our friends; they can help you with your problems.
