Intervention details
Young adults at festivals, clubs, events or in discos in Vienna.
The peers of the peer-teams. Also the event organizer respectivley the owner of the club or disco.
The intervention focuses on information transfer and to help young adults to reflect on their own alcohol consumption and is therefore based on the peer-education approach combined with a modified version of the motivational interviewing approach, a counselling approach based on the experience in the treatment of problem drinkers published by Miller & Rollnick. Using the peer approach and the motivational interviewing technique helps to communicate with young adults on an equal level and to distribute information without a paternalistic approach.
