Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Alcohol protective behavioral strategies (PBS) are behaviors engaged in immediately prior to, during, after, or instead of drinking with the explicit goal of reducing alcohol use, intoxication, and/or alcohol-related harms. Despite the quantitative support for alcohol PBS as a protective factor among college student drinkers, we know of no qualitative research aimed at determining college student drinkers' perceptions regarding the advantages and disadvantages of using PBS. OBJECTIVES:In the style of a decisional balance exercise, we asked college student drinkers (analytic n = 113) to identify 5 reasons they would not use PBS (cons) and 5 reasons they would use PBS (pros). METHOD:Participants (majority female, 77.0%) were recruited from a psychology department participant pool at a large, southeastern university in the United States. Within our analytic sample, participants on average consumed 6.38 (SD = 8.16) drinks per typical week of drinking and reported consuming alcohol on average 7.5 days (SD = 5.83) in the last 30 days. RESULTS:Using a descriptive phenomenological approach, we identified 2 themes for pros (prevention of specific negative alcohol-related consequences and general safety) and 4 themes for cons (goal conflict, ineffectiveness, difficulty of implementation, and negative peer/social repercussions). Overall, participants reported more pros than cons and this discrepancy (i.e., number of PBS pros minus number of PBS cons) was positively related to self-reported frequency of PBS use. Conclusions/Importance: Taken together, we hope that clinicians/researchers will probe individual's reasons for choosing to use (or not use) PBS in order to tailor or improve existing PBS-based interventions.
