Comparative Effectiveness of Brief Alcohol Interventions for College Students: Results from a Network Meta-Analysis

Background Late adolescence is a time of increased drinking, and alcohol plays a predominant role in college social experiences. Colleges seeking to prevent students’ hazardous drinking may elect to implement brief alcohol interventions (BAIs). However, numerous manualized BAIs exist, so an important question remains regarding the comparative effectiveness of these different types of BAIs for college students. Aim This study uses network meta-analyses (NMA) to compare seven manualized BAIs for reducing problematic alcohol use among college students. Methods We systematically searched multiple sources for literature, and we screened studies and extracted data in duplicate. For the quantitative synthesis, we employed a random-effects frequentist NMA to determine the effectiveness of different BAIs compared to controls, and estimated the relative effectiveness ranking of each BAI. Results A systematic literature search resulted in 52 included studies: on average, 58% of participants were male, 75% were binge drinkers, and 20% were fraternity/sorority-affiliated students. Consistency models demonstrated that BASICS was consistently effective in reducing students’ problematic alcohol use (ES range: g=−0.23, 95%CI [−0.36,−0.16] to g=−0.36, 95% CI [−0.55,−0.18]), but AlcoholEDU (g=−0.13, 95%CI [−0.22,−0.04]), e-CHUG (g=−0.35, 95%CI [−0.45,−0.05]), and THRIVE (g=−0.47, 95%CI [−0.60,−0.33]) were also effective for some outcomes. Intervention rankings indicated that BASICS, THRIVE, and AlcoholEDU hold the most promise for future trials. Conclusions Several BAIs appear effective for college students. BASICS was the most effective but is resource intensive and may be better suited for higher risk students; THRIVE and e-CHUG are less resource intensive and show promise for universal prevention efforts

Arts, Health Promotion, and Social Justice: Synergy in Motion

In this final chapter, drawing from examples presented in the book, we theorize a way of understanding how art may increase synergy in the pursuit of health promotion goals by facilitating deeper engagement with one?s self and with others, as well as by supporting the process of making sense of context. We also argue that art can promote social justice by amplifying voice, leveraging power, and honoring multiple ways of knowing. We conclude by highlighting implications for the field of health promotion and suggest lines of further research to build theory.Instituto de Física de Líquidos y Sistemas Biológico

Exploring the Potential for the Arts to Promote Health and Social Justice

Este capítulo proporciona los antecedentes y la descripción general de este libro Promoción de las artes y la salud: herramientas y puentes para la práctica, la investigación y la transformación social. Exploramos el potencial de incorporar las artes en la búsqueda de las cinco áreas de acción descritas en la Carta de Ottawa para la Promoción de la Salud. También presentamos los 19 capítulos incluidos en el volumen que describen proyectos de promoción de la salud que abarcan Asia, África, América Latina, Australia, Europa y América del Norte, promoviendo la salud de poblaciones diversas, incluidos adultos mayores, jóvenes, profesionales, comunidades enteras, escolares, divorciados, jóvenes transgénero y no binarios, personas desplazadas / migrantes, docentes y pueblos indígenas. También describimos la metáfora de herramientas y puentes que guían este libro,Instituto de Física de Líquidos y Sistemas Biológico

Art and Innovation at International Health Promotion Conferences

Scientific conferences are a constant fixture in most academic and professional fields. While conferences began in the mid-1800s as a platform for the exchange of ideas, in reality, the majority of scientific conferences follow a predictable, didactic format that is aligned with Northern/Western conceptions of learning and knowledge hierarchy. Area ?experts? are provided a platform to share their knowledge, and the audience is thought of as empty vessels receiving deposits of this knowledge. Rarely is this model brought into question. This chapter describes conference sessions organized by the Student and Early Career Network of the International Union for Health Promotion and Education that turned this model upside down and used art as a means to dialogue and exchange with participants on important health promotion topics. In this chapter, we demonstrate how these sessions stimulated engagement and exchange while seeking to honor multiple voices and ways of knowing.Fil: Ayele, Christa.
