Thinking about reducing alcohol use
Study Background Our researchers want to evaluate a texting program to help young adults achieve their goal to drink less alcohol. People between the ages of 18 and 25 often display risky behavior when it comes to alcohol. Binge drinking, defined as 4+ drinks in a day for women or 5+ drinks for men, can have immediate negative consequences as well as long-term health effects. But cutting back or quitting isn't easy, especially if you're dealing with social pressures. Past research has found that text message interventions are effective to assist young adults in reducing alcohol consumption. Our research study aims to test different text messaging interventions to see if they help young people reduce their drinking. Participating in this research study may help researchers develop better strategies to prevent risky drinking in young adults. Further research and join our compensated study today! |
