What Affects College Students' Decision to Intervene or Not Intervene When Someone Is Drinking Too Much?

CONCLUSIONS: Fear of getting in trouble, the basis for amnesty policies, was not a major barrier preventing intervention behavior in our study. Our findings suggest that implementing amnesty policies may not lead to intervention behavior. Strategies that empower and compel students to help their peers and provide them with skills needed to help may lead to more intervention behavior. PMID: 31250795 [PubMed - in process]
