College student knowledge of blackouts and implications for alcohol intervention: A qualitative analysis.

Objective: Blackouts (periods of alcohol-induced anterograde amnesia) are common among young adults and place individuals at significant risk for alcohol-related harm; thus, researchers have advocated for increased efforts to educate young adults on blackouts. This qualitative study examined college student knowledge of blackouts as well as their ideas for intervening on blackout drinking behavior in order to inform prevention and intervention efforts.
