TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - Do "clicker" educational sessions enhance the effectiveness of a social norms marketing campaign? JO - Journal of American college health A1 - Killos, Lydia F.

SP - 228 EP - 230 VL - 59 IS - 3 N2 - Objective: Social norms campaigns are a cost-effective way to reduce high-risk drinking on college campuses. This study compares effectiveness of a "standard" social norms media (SNM) campaign for those with and without exposure to additional educational sessions using audience response technology ("clickers"). Methods: American College Health Association's National College Health Assessment questions are used to evaluate actual and perceived use. Additional survey questions assess individual exposure to the interventions. Results: The authors find "clicker" technology to be more effective than social norms poster media alone in reducing misperceptions of normative alcohol use for those students who attended clicker sessions. Conclusion: Poster SNM campaigns may be most effective when supported by group "clicker" heath-related sessions.
