Motivational Interventions for Lifestyle and Exercise in College Students
A study testing MET + CM for Exercise and MET + Exercise Contracting in people with Alcohol Consumption, run by University of Connecticut at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
Engagement in substance-free activities, such as exercise, has an inverse relationship to substance use in college students. While exercise has numerous physical and mental health benefits, the majority of college students are sedentary, infrequently engaging in exercise. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Motivational Interventions for Exercise in Hazardous Drinking College Students
Engagement in substance-free activities, such as exercise, has an inverse relationship to substance use in college students. While exercise has numerous physical and mental health benefits, the majority of college students are sedentary, infrequently engaging in exercise. Although exercise interventions to date often suffer from significant attrition and poor adherence, motivational interventions for exercise are beginning to show promise. In this pilot study we propose to develop and evaluate a novel exercise intervention combining Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET) with contingency management (CM) in sedentary college students who use alcohol.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
MET + CM for ExerciseBehavioural
Motivational Enhancement Therapy seeks to resolve ambivalence regarding exercise and increase intrinsic motivation to exercise. Contingency management offers tangible rewards for completing verified exercise.
MET + Exercise ContractingBehavioural
Motivational Enhancement Therapy seeks to resolve ambivalence regarding exercise and increase intrinsic motivation to exercise. Exercise contracting consists of weekly appointment to set specific goals for exercise in the upcoming week.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| MET + CM for Exercise | Experimental | Motivational Enhancement Therapy seeks to resolve ambivalence regarding exercise and increase intrinsic motivation to exercise. Contingency management offers tangible rewards for completing verified exercise. Receives: Behavioral: MET + CM for Exercise |
| MET + Exercise Contracting | Active comparator | Motivational Enhancement Therapy seeks to resolve ambivalence regarding exercise and increase intrinsic motivation to exercise. Exercise contracting consists of weekly appointment to set specific goals for exercise in the upcoming week. Receives: Behavioral: MET + Exercise Contracting |
