Abstract
Alcohol misuse is prevalent among college students and is associated with a range of negative consequences. Although a large body of research exists focused on alcohol misuse among college students, less is known about triggers to change alcohol use. The current study examined students’ qualitative responses regarding readiness to change use that was asked as part of an online alcohol misuse screening. Students’ responses were coded and themes were identified. Additionally, the extent and co-occurrence of four common negative alcohol-related consequences, also asked in the screening, were examined.
