Abstract

PURPOSE: To evaluate the Student Alcohol Questionnaire (SAQ) for use drinking/driving prevention programs in college-age students. METHODS: A pilot study of 39 students was conducted, which included a pre-test covering demographics and using the SAQ. A post-test was given as a program evaluation. The SAQ was repeated one month later. FINDINGS: At program completion, 40% of students stated that they would change behavior. The SAQ findings revealed no statistically significant changes in the pre- and post-tests. CONCLUSIONS: The SAQ may be an effective tool for measuring prevention programs.
