Many efficacious interventions designed to reduce college student drinking aim to correct misperceptions of peers' drinking behavior. The present study tested the efficacy of a novel delivery strategy, namely text messages, for promoting promoderation descriptive and injunctive drinking norms. Participants included 121 college students who were randomly assigned to receive daily text messages containing accurate drinking norms (experimental group, n = 61) or historical facts (control group, n = 60) for 10 weeks following a baseline assessment. Participants completed 3-month postbaseline and 6-month postbaseline follow-up assessments. The 3-month assessment revealed that promoderation text messages were effective for reducing peak consumption and alcohol consequences. Changes in descriptive norms and injunctive norms aligned with these two behavioral outcomes. The intervention group reported perceiving others as drinking less on their heaviest drinking day and perceived others as being less approving of alcohol-related consequences than the control group. The intervention group also reported more peer approval of using protective behavioral strategies. Yet intervention effects were not maintained. None of the outcome measures differed by condition at the 6-month postbaseline assessment. Thus, the intervention had short-term effects on self-reported drinking behavior as well as on perceptions of drinking norms. However, the behavioral changes were not maintained when participants were assessed in the second semester after the daily text messages intervention had stopped.

使用移动消息传递系统纠正过度饮酒规范：对酗酒的一年级大学生进行选择性预防。

许多旨在减少大学生饮酒的有效干预措施旨在纠正对同龄人饮酒行为的误解。本研究测试了一种新的传递策略（即短信）在促进促进描述性和禁令性饮酒规范方面的有效性。参与者包括 121 名大学生，他们被随机分配在基线评估后的 10 周内接收包含准确饮酒规范（实验组，n = 61）或历史事实（对照组，n = 60）的每日短信。参与者完成了 3 个月的基线后和 6 个月的基线后随访评估。为期 3 个月的评估显示，促进节制的短信可有效减少高峰消费和酒精后果。描述性规范和禁令性规范的变化与这两种行为结果一致。与对照组相比，干预组报告认为其他人在饮酒量最大的那天饮酒量较少，并且认为其他人对酒精相关后果的认可程度较低。干预组还报告了更多的同行认可使用保护性行为策略。然而，干预效果并未得到维持。在 6 个月的基线后评估中，没有任何结果测量因条件而异。因此，干预对自我报告的饮酒行为以及对饮酒规范的看法具有短期影响。然而，在每日短信干预停止后的第二学期对参与者进行评估时，行为变化并未保持。（PsycINFO 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA，
