The Effects Of The Good Behavior Game With General Education High School Students, Rachel R. Mitchell
Master's Theses

Protective Behavioral Strategies And Their Relationship With Negative Alcohol Consequences Among Intercollegiate Athletes, Jeremy James Noble
Master's Theses

Studies have demonstrated that heavy episodic drinking (HED) is related to an increase in a multitude of negative consequences (Wechsler, Lee, Kuo, & Lee, 2002), including approximately 599,000 unintentional injuries and 1,825 deaths among college students each year (Hingson, Edwards, Heeren, & Rosenbloom, 2009). Within the college population, college athletes have exhibited more severe patterns of alcohol consumption as well as more frequent experiences with negative alcohol consequences, making them a population that is at an …
