Rehab News: Coping strategies may help college drinkers

College students who are prone to binge drinking in order to ease their anxieties may benefit from motivational interviewing and behavioural therapy, experts have found.

Researchers at the University of Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky University carried out a study involving 22 college students.

All of the students claimed to have had at least one heavy drinking episode, alcohol-related problems and social anxiety.

According to Giao Tran, associate professor of psychology at the University of Cincinnati, it is important to motivate students to seek help for their alcohol abuse.

"While prior studies have shown that a brief intervention using motivational interviewing helps reduce alcohol consumption or alcohol-related problems among college students, this study is the first to add strategies for coping with social anxiety in relation to alcohol intervention for college students," she claimed.

The findings were presented at the annual conference of the Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Therapies in Philadelphia.
