Accountability Support Through Peer-Inspired Relationships and Engagement (ASPIRE) Trial

{ "ASPIRE Trial: Text Message Support for Alcohol Consumption", "This study, called the ASPIRE Trial, is testing a text message program to help young adults reduce their alcohol consumption. It compares two types of text message support: one that focuses on your thoughts, behaviors, and peer influences (ASPIRE), and another that focuses only on your thoughts and behaviors. You might be able to join if you are between 18 and 25 years old, live in the U.S., read English, and have had several heavy drinking days in the past month. The study aims to see if these text messages can reduce the number of days you binge drink, and they will check this at 3, 6, and 12 months after you start. The study plans to enroll 300 participants.", "design": "This is an interventional study that will randomly assign participants to one of two text message programs. It plans to include 300 participants.", "commitments": "You will receive text messages on Thursdays and Sundays. The study will measure your binge drinking days at 3, 6, and 12 months.", "compensation": "Not stated in the trial record.", "follow_up": "Participants will be followed for 12 months after starting the intervention.", }
