Proposed Project
Developing Effective Messages about
Excessive Alcohol Consumption:
Formative Focus Groups with Adult
Drinkers and Abstainers—New—
National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Excessive alcohol use, including
binge drinking, is responsible for
approximately 88,000 deaths in the U.S.
annually—including one in 10 deaths
in developing the communication
strategy for future outreach.
CDC plans to collect information
needed to improve understanding of
current knowledge, perceptions, and
attitudes related to excessive alcohol
consumption. Respondents will be 72
adults ages 21–64 years who agree to
participate in focus group discussions of
about 1.5 hours each. A total of 12 focus
groups are planned in three
geographically diverse locations with
appropriate facilities (four focus group
per location). Each focus group will
involve six respondents and will be
guided by a professional moderator.
Through an initial screening process,
CDC will also collect the information
needed to assess knowledge,
perceptions, and attitudes across
various audience segments: Those who
engage in binge drinking, those who
drink but not excessively, and those
who abstain from drinking.
The focus group discussions will be
analyzed using qualitative tools and
leverage a structured approach to
thematic analysis. Findings from this
information collection will guide the
CDC Alcohol Program in the
development and refinement of targeted
messages to effectively communicate the
problem of excessive alcohol use, and
encourage support for effective
prevention strategies. The ultimate goal
of the subsequent messaging is a
reduction in binge drinking, which will
in turn reduce alcohol-related injuries
and deaths among adults.
OMB approval is requested for one
year. Participation is voluntary and
there are no costs to respondents other
than their time.
among working-age adults ages 20–64.
On average, for each death due to
alcohol, an individual’s life is cut short
by 30 years. Excessive alcohol use can
also lead to motor vehicle crashes;
intimate partner violence; and risky
sexual behaviors, increasing the risk of
HIV, other sexually transmitted
infections, and unintended pregnancy.
Over time, excessive alcohol use can
lead to alcohol dependence, liver
disease, high blood pressure, heart
attack, stroke, and certain kinds of
cancer. Furthermore, in 2010, excessive
alcohol use cost the United States
government $249 billion, or $2.05 per
drink.
Binge drinking (defined as four or
more drinks on an occasion for women
or five or more drinks on an occasion for
men) accounts for more than half of the
deaths and three-quarters of the
economic costs of excessive drinking.
More than 38 million U.S. adults binge
drink about four times a month,
averaging eight drinks per binge.
However, most (90%) binge drinkers are
not alcohol dependent, presenting an
opportunity for prevention through
messages that improve voluntary
compliance with recommended
guidelines. States and communities can
prevent binge drinking by supporting
evidence-based strategies, such as those
recommended by the Community
Preventive Services Task Force;
however, these strategies are underused.
Understanding the type of information
and messages that the larger
community—those who drink but not
excessively or abstain from drinking in
addition to those who engage in binge
drinking—respond to will be essential
