Study Summary
The investigators plan to establish the efficacy of a novel breathing-based mindfulness training (BBMT, a much simplified, easy-to-use version of standard MM) for problem drinking, and test whether impulsivity mediates this effect among a sample of student problem drinkers (i.e., \> 8 on AUDIT, the problem drinking Screening Test). The specific aims of this pilot study are as follows: 1. to modify and further develop the easy-to-use BBMT program for directly targeting impulsivity to produce an indirect reduction in problem drinking among college students; 2. to investigate the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of applying BBMT for reducing problem drinking with a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT); 3. to examine changes in impulsivity, as measured by both behavioral and self-report assessments, as one of the possible mediators in the effect of BBMT on problem drinking, with control for changes in perceived stress and anxiety.
Primary Outcome
Timeline Follow-back (TLFB) (C. Sobell \& B. Sobell, 1992) will be used to record and track participants' recent (past 30 days and 7 days) alcohol-use as well as other drug use frequency. Alcohol-use and other drug use quantity will be recorded for each day on which use was reported. The TLFB method has been shown to have good reliability and validity in college students (Sobell et al., 1989)
