Thank you for participating in this study. This is the preliminary survey, which consists of questions regarding background information and alcohol use, as well as questions concerning how accurately certain statements describe you. The second part of this study is a weekly questionnaire, in which you will be asked to log your choices of social activities, including use of alcohol, for approximately ten weeks. Please be aware that this is a very important part of the study, and while it will not take a significant amount of time, it is necessary that you complete all questionnaires. (**Note that this also means that you need to be on campus next semester. Students going abroad second semester are not eligible to participate.) At the completion of the study, there will be a lottery for numerous prizes to thank you for your participation. You will be eligible for the lottery when you have completed all parts of the study.

Confidentiality: All responses will be completely confidential. The researchers will not know the names of the people in the study. All identifying information will be coordinated through a secretary who is not involved in the study. There is no way for the researchers to trace the submission of the forms to you as an individual. We take these precautions because we want your complete and honest responses. Please direct any questions or concerns to Merleen MacDonald (mmacdona@haverford.edu),who will be coordinating e-mail with participants.
