Does abstaining from alcohol in high school moderate intervention effects for college students? Implications for tiered intervention strategies.

ABSTRACT: Brief motivational intervention (BMI) and personalized feedback intervention (PFI) are individual-focused brief alcohol intervention approaches that have been proven efficacious for reducing alcohol use among college students and young adults.

We conducted moderation an
