This study aims to explore the consumption of alcohol amongst university students living in halls of residence in Spain, following the action research carried out in one of them. More specifically, a participatory research process was carried out with two aims: on the one hand, to come up with preventive action regarding alcohol consumption for young people by young people; and on the other hand, it aims to assess the difficulties and advantages of this research strategy with young people in student halls of residence. The results show that the risk reduction strategy alcohol consumption having the young people be the leaders is the most appropriate way of proposing preventive interventions on alcohol consumption. Some suggestions are given regarding how to apply action research in the context of student halls of residence.
