Key messaging insights 6
![Page 26: The Students’ Perspective Communication Strategies for ... · Communication Strategies for College Binge Drinking Prevention The Students’ Perspective](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022023/5c6753b509d3f2034d8bc79f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The 6 Key messages were:
1. Speak to universal truths that don’t require the support of statistics/facts or scare tactics
2. Highlight the feelings of overconsumption not the math
3. Peer based messaging works only if it’s really about a student’s own peers
4. Peers have a great deal of influence on drinking behaviors
5. Embarrassing behavior is indicative of a great night out
6. Messages that influence the situational factors surrounding a night are more readily accepted

know where your line is
Those extra couple of drinks can mean crossing a line from fun person to idiot, saying something to ruin a friendship or texting something desperate to an ex. You know where your line is… try not to cross it.
