Evaluation of an Expectancy Challenge Intervention for Food and Alcohol Disturbance Among College Students
Description

This study aims to create and test an intervention that helps college students re-evaluate their beliefs about food and alcohol disturbance (FAD) and, in turn, reduce how often they engage in it or intend to in the future. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does the intervention help students have less positive beliefs about the effects of FAD and more negative beliefs about its effects? 2. If college students' beliefs about FAD change, does that lead them to engage in it less often or plan to do it less? 3. Will college students who engage in FAD sign up for the study, complete it, and feel that the intervention is helpful and valuable? Participants will take part in one 2-hour in-person laboratory-based study session where they will fill out surveys, learn about FAD, and engage in exercises designed to challenge their existing beliefs about it. They will also complete a follow-up survey online one month after their in-person study visit.
