  Alcohol-related problems which result from drinking too much, too fast, or too often are among the most significant public health issues in the United States. […] Millions of adults in the United States have alcohol use disorder (AUD), and approximately 1 in 10 children live in a home with a parent who has AUD. […] The good news is that no matter how severe the problem may seem, most people with AUD can benefit from some form of treatment. Many others substantially reduce their drinking and report fewer alcohol-related problems. […] Evidence-based AUD treatment is available, change is possible, and most people who have AUD recover or markedly improve. […] If you have any of these symptoms, alcohol may already be a cause for concern. The more symptoms you have, the more urgent the need for change. A health care provider can look at the number, pattern, and severity of symptoms to see whether AUD is present and help you decide the best course of action.

  The original goal of AMPS was to reduce the prevalence of alcohol use among middle school students through an intervention that focused on resistance skills training. […] Because this evaluation of AMPS found that effects were not maintained over time, an enhanced AMPS curriculum was developed, which included more sessions, role playing, and norm-setting activities within the program. […] The goal of AAPT was to test the importance of normative education versus building skills for resisting peer pressure as program components for preventing alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana use.

  The treatment options for alcohol misuse depend on the extent of your drinking and whether you’re trying to drink less (moderation) or give up drinking completely (abstinence). […] If you are worried about your drinking or have had an alcohol-related accident or injury, you may be offered a short counselling session known as a brief intervention. […] Cutting alcohol out completely will have a greater health benefit. However, moderation is often a more realistic goal, or at least a first step on the way to abstinence.

  It was hypothesised that fewer students in schools delivering STAMPP would self-report: (1) past 30-day heavy episodic drinking (HED) at final follow-up (33 months from baseline) and (2) fewer self-reported alcohol-related harms (ARHs) at final follow-up than those in schools delivering alcohol education as normal (EAN). […] The study had two primary outcomes at 33 months: (1) the prevalence of self-reported HED drinking in the previous 30 days (HED defined as the consumption of 6 units (males)/4.5 units (females) on one or more occasions) and (2) the number of self-reported harms (caused by own drinking) in the previous 6 months in students. […] In a large cRCT, we found that the STAMPP intervention reduced self-reported HED in the past 30 days at 33-month follow-up from baseline, compared with EAN, but not ARH associated with own drinking. […] The results of this large cRCT provide support for the effectiveness of a combined classroom and brief parental intervention for reducing HED, but not ARH, in young adolescents.
