title: Screening and brief interventions for alcohol use in college health centers: a review.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  to provide a critical review of the efficacy of brief interventions for alcohol use in college health centers.
  
  
  METHODS
  studies were included if (a) they examined brief intervention trials that were conducted in college- or university-based student health centers or emergency departments, and (b) they provided pre-post data to estimate change.
  
  
  RESULTS
  twelve studies suggested that screening and brief interventions in these settings are acceptable, feasible, and promote risk reduction.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  findings support continued use of time-limited, single-session interventions with motivational interviewing and feedback components.
