After being assigned to a prevention program, participants completed one Internet-based 50-minute video per week for four consecutive weeks, after each of which they filled out a short comprehension quiz. For both groups, the videos consisted of providing general alcohol information such as the definition of a standard drink and the dangers of heavy drinking, debunking myths related to social norms about drinking, providing real statistics about alcohol use, and teaching skills for healthy ways of coping and refusing drinks. However, the information provided in the LRB modules was framed around low LR as a risk factor for heavier/problematic alcohol use and stressed the relationship between LR and other risk factors, such as peer substance use, alcohol expectancies, and coping mechanisms. LRB participants were also provided with instructions for how to calculate their own SRE score. These videos were designed by Marc Schuckit; see Schuckit et al. (2012) for more details about the prevention programs and the material covered in each video.
