Detailed Summary
Brief behavioral intervention designed from the guidelines of the Theory of Planned Action (TAP) of Ajzen (1991). It has the general objective of reducing the intention and hazardous and harmful consumption of alcohol in young university students in the first year of their undergraduate degree. The following specific objectives are considered: (a) Impact on the personal and descriptive norm by modifying the perception of the actual use of alcohol and its level of acceptance among the population of university students. (b) Modify attitudes towards consumption by reducing the value attributed to the expectations associated with risky alcohol consumption. (c) Increase perceived behavioral control and self-efficacy to avoid alcohol consumption behavior by: establishing a goal, consumption planning, and increase assertive communication.(d) Reduce the negative consequences of the use of alcohol in different situations of young people through pleasant healthy activities. e) Increase the intention to seek help for alcohol-related problems.The intervention will be developed through 3 phases. The first phase corresponds to the pre-intervention evaluation, the second phase concerns the two intervention sessions and the third phase is the post-intervention evaluation. Hypothesis: The mean alcohol consumption will be lower in young adults with hazardous and harmful alcohol consumption in the experimental group who received a brief online intervention compared to the control group.
