Readiness to change among at-risk Greek student drinkers

Most members of sororities and fraternities report little readiness to reduce their drinking. However, in a sample of 106 at-risk Greek students (largely Caucasian and 18-23 years of age) about 25% report moving into stages that involve thinking about change or action to reduce their consumption. Alcohol risk factors are most concentrated in this group. Research should assess the extent to which high-risk Greeks would use harm-reduction services.
