| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test | 6 months post-intervention | A self-report measure that examines alcohol use and problems. This measure produces one total score that is interpreted as alcohol use and problems. |
| Bystander Behavior Scale | 6 months post-intervention | A self-report measure that examines opportunities and engagement in prosocial bystander behavior. A single total score is obtained by calculating the percentage of times individuals engaged in bystander behavior based on the number of opportunities they had for such behavior. |
