The objectives of this exploratory research were to (1) explore the characteristics and risks associated with college theme parties, (2) assess differences in risk associated with college theme parties compared to non\u2010theme parties and (3) to assess differences in risk associated with risqu\u00e9 theme parties as compared to non\u2010risqu\u00e9 theme parties. <jats:bold>Design and methods<\/jats:bold>. We used a mixed methods design. Results are presented from three exploratory studies of alcohol consumption in college theme parties: (1) four qualitative focus groups of students who have attended such events, (2) a web\u2010based survey and (3) a multi\u2010level (observational, survey, breath blood alcohol samples) study of 226 college parties, 29 of which were themed events. Focus group participants included a convenience sample of 17 college students aged 18\u201324 years; participants for the web survey included a convenience sample of 407 college students; participants for the multi\u2010level study of college parties included 1725 randomly selected individuals at college parties. <jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>. Themes tended to be highly sexualised. Compared to non\u2010themed parties, theme parties have been observed to be more rowdy, louder, involve drinking games, feature kegs and feature hard liquor. <jats:bold>Discussion and Conclusions<\/jats:bold>. Themed parties are associated with heavy drinking and are consistent with environments sought by heavy drinkers. As a result, themed parties are marked by a greater number of alcohol\u2010related problems. Further research is needed to understand more clearly the risks involved in themed and risqu\u00e9 themed events.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1080\/09595230802093794","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,8,11]],"date-time":"2008-08-11T21:07:55Z","timestamp":1218488875000},"page":"509-518","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Three exploratory studies of college theme parties"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"JOHN D.","family":"CLAPP","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"JULIE M.","family":"KETCHIE","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"MARK B.","family":"REED","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"AUDREY M.","family":"SHILLINGTON","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"JAMES E.","family":"LANGE","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"MEGAN R.","family":"HOLMES","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,5,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.15288\/jsa.2002.63.726"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0277-9536(01)00258-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1023\/A:1022974215675"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1054-139X(01)00339-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/10826089509055842"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0022-3514.78.4.605"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0893-164X.11.3.190"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_9_2","volume-title":"Social drinking contexts","author":"Jessor R.","year":"1982"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/10826087909060365"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0893-164X.15.4.310"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1081\/ADA-100103711"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00952990500481205"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1081\/ADA-100100596"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1360-0443.2002.00182.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_16_2","volume-title":"Research design: qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods approaches","author":"Creswell JW.","year":"2003"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_17_2","volume-title":"Mixed methodology: combining qualitative and quantitative approaches","author":"Tashakkori A.","year":"1998"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_18_2","volume-title":"Handbook of mixed methods in social and behavioral research","author":"Tashakkori A.","year":"2003"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_19_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3102\/01623737011003255"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_20_2","volume-title":"QSR International","year":"2002"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_21_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/CBO9780511557842"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_22_2","first-page":"110","volume-title":"Doing qualitative research","author":"Addison RB.","year":"1992"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_23_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1530-0277.2007.00547.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_24_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0193841X07303582"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_25_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/09595239996257"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_26_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/alcalc\/37.5.457"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_27_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/alcalc\/37.2.109"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_28_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1471-6402.1997.tb00108.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_29_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1467-6494.2008.00507.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_30_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1207\/s15327957pspr0803_5"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_31_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/1089-2680.9.3.249"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_32_2","volume-title":"Generation me: why today's young Americans are more confident, assertive, entitled\u2014and more miserable than ever before","author":"Twenge JM.","year":"2006"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_33_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/2090964"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_34_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02766650"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_35_2","unstructured":"AvivR.Black tie optional: as for the rest of the outfit just leave it at the door\u2014this party's naked.
