Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

The trial tests a behavioral intervention that offers alcohol-free social activities through Greek chapters at a university, aiming to reduce heavy episodic drinking and its negative consequences. It uses a pre-post design over two academic years to assess feasibility, acceptability, and changes in drinking outcomes. The intervention was developed with input from Greek members to fit the campus context, and chapters will implement the activities after baseline data collection. The study is conducted as an interventional, environment-focused approach involving active fraternity and sorority participation with University of Washington as the lead site and NIAAA as a collaborator.
