abstract="BACKGROUND: The college years are a time of transition in which students experiment with behaviors including use of alcohol. Nursing students can be instrumental in supporting positive health behaviors and influencing the drinking culture. <br><br>PURPOSE: This article describes the findings of a collaborative nursing student-faculty research project about alcohol use with a focus on binge drinking. <br><br>METHODS: Using a nursing student-faculty collaborative model, a longitudinal design was used to evaluate a mass media campaign with social norming messages and education to influence the drinking culture on a college campus. <br><br>RESULTS: Students in Greek life and athletics engaged in binge drinking significantly more than other students. Students observed the mass media messages, with 81.9% viewing posters. A significant decrease in binge drinking was reported. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: The nursing student-faculty team implemented a mass media campaign, which was effective at influencing the drinking culture on a college campus.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
