Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| For pilot effectiveness, the number of binge-drinking within the last 30 days, self-reported by questionnaire completed in class (at baseline and post-intervention, i.e. 5 to 6 months after baseline) with a standard recognized measure (Kuntsche et al., 2017), i.e., the following question: “How often in the past 12 months (or 30 days) have you had 5 drinks or more on a single occasion?” | — |
