TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - Effects of adverts from a drug and alcohol prevention campaign on willingness to engage in alcohol-related risky behaviors JO - Journal of health psychology A1 - Comello, Maria Leonora G. A1 - Slater, Michael D. SP - 1268 EP - 1276 VL - 16 IS - 8 N2 - Behavioral willingness is conceptualized as a pathway to behavior that is non-deliberative, yet traditional measures require thoughtful deliberation to complete. This study explored non-deliberative measures of alcohol-related willingness to complement recent work on marijuana-related willingness. The study also examined whether adverts from a field-tested drug and alcohol prevention campaign may have operated by influencing alcohol-related willingness. Participants viewed campaign adverts or consumer adverts (control). Outcomes were reaction times to make speeded judgments about whether one would engage in risky alcohol-related behaviors. Results showed that campaign advertisements lowered willingness to play drinking games and (for males) to drive while intoxicated.
