QUIROGA  ANAYA, HORACIO; SANCHEZ SOSA, JUAN JOSÉ ; MEDINA, MA. ELENA   and  APARICIO, CARLOS F. DEVELOPMENT OF A STEPPED-CARE COGNITIVE-BEHAVIORAL MOTIVATIONAL MODEL FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS WITH ALCOHOL PROBLEMS. rev.latinoam.psicol. [online]. 2007, vol.39, n.3, pp.563-577. ISSN 0120-0534.

Outcome deta research from international surveys on college students report that alcohol problems in colleges are an emergent health concern. This paper describes the development and evaluation of a stepped-care cognitive-behavioral motivational model for college students with alcohol problems, that includes three specific treatment programs, "BASICS", "GSC", and "SRP", which are part of the state-of-the-art cognitive-behavioral motivational treatments to address a broad spectrum of drinking problems available in centers for alcohol problems at the National Autonomous University of México. A modified version of the stepped-care approach and strategies of treatment-client matching were used to select patients for the treatment programs. This article describes the model and its programs and the initial outcome data from a study designed to evaluate its efficacy on a group of college students that address a broad spectrum of alcohol problems and its future perspectives.

Keywords : alcohol abuse; collage students; cognitive-behavioval; treatment.
