The results presented here set the stage for several future steps. First, having established that interventions were associated with short term improvements in drinking quantities, it is important to continue to follow these subjects to determine how long the effect lasts. This will be addressed through additional follow ups over the next nine months. Second, immediately following the 12-week assessments, LRB and SOTA subjects will view a 60-minute video that summarizes major points from their original videos, with similar distinctions between how messages are framed for the LRB and SOTA Groups. This “booster” session will be followed with assessments that evaluate the impact of the booster and, if present, determine how long that effect lasts. Third, there is a need to see if spacing the original videos over a longer period (e.g., over two rather than one month) might produce greater or longer lasting effects, and it will be interesting to evaluate the protocol's effects on alcohol problems as well as on drinking patterns. Finally, we plan to evaluate if the same type of Internet-based approach is useful for mitigating
