linked to incident aversiveness and prior alcohol-related problems (AP) were also negatively associated with personal attribution of the incident. In addition, greater perceived incident aversiveness was linked with greater motivation to change alcohol use. Morgan et al. (2008) provided some empirical evidence that mandated students, who were involved in an incident requiring medical or police attention, actually reduced their drinking prior to the intervention more than those with a non-serious incident.1 Therefore, it is critical that we look at the nature of the incident when examining the efficacy and moderated efficacy of PFIs to better understand changes among mandated students.
