Abstract
The current study examined the ability of the transtheoretical model (TTM) to describe and predict alcohol consumption-related behaviors. Data from 321 first-year students were collected on the first day of classes and the week before finals. Three structural models consistent with the TTM were evaluated and tested. The three models fit the data well and indicated that stage of change was a good predictor of alcohol consumption-related behaviors, current and future, and change in alcohol consumption-related behaviors. These results suggest that interventions aimed at first-year students that concentrate on stage of change and the cons of alcohol use may be effective.
