drink. Fourth, we also chose to evaluate how well the protocol works in entering freshmen who were willing to be part of the alcohol education videos, similar to what is likely to be the case if such Internet-based videos are implemented at any university. Thus, we didn't focus on results of students who refused participation or who never participated enough to gain likely benefits from the videos, choosing to not use an intention to treat design, a decision that might exaggerate intervention effects. Additionally, it is important to note that racial/ethnic backgrounds and alcohol histories were all self-reported. However, despite these issues, the current work supports the role of an Internet-based and relatively inexpensive prevention program tailored to address a relatively common predisposing phenotype that increases the risk of heavy drinking, the low LR to alcohol, in decreasing heavier drinking in college freshmen.
