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.
