College student alcohol consumption remains a serious health problem despite frequent intervention and research. Excessive alcohol consumption among college students has been linked to various negative outcomes such as missing class, unsafe sex, accidental injury, assaults, and death (Hingson et al., 2009; White & Hingson, 2014). In a study of college students, more than half of alcohol drinkers report having a negative alcohol-related consequence in the past 12 months (Patrick et al., 2020). Despite these negative outcomes, college students continue to drink. These findings raise the question of what it takes for college students to change their drinking behaviors. There is evidence that college students do not always consider the consequences of drinking alcohol to be negative (Mallett et al., 2008). Since the interpretation of alcohol-related consequences varies, their impact on future drinking behavior may vary as well. This study aims to examine the relationship between the frequency of negative outcomes and willingness to change drinking behavior among college students. An online survey is in progress to collect health data from a mid-sized midwestern university. The survey will include the Young Adult Alcohol Problems Screening Test (YAP) and the Readiness to Change Questionnaire (RTC). It is expected to find associations between certain negative outcomes and readiness to change drinking behavior. Determining what specific negative consequences and what frequency of negative consequences impact readiness to change drinking behavior will help predict future drinking behaviors in college students with negative alcohol-related outcomes. Implications will be discussed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
