Study on Parent-Based Interventions for Underage Drinking

This study is looking at ways to help reduce underage drinking among college students by involving their parents. It compares three different parent-based programs: an app called PNF+ PBI with personalized feedback, an email series called SNMC+ PBI with facts and tips, and a Parent Handbook called PH+ PBI. The study wants to see if these programs can lower how much students drink daily over 1, 7, and 12 months. You might be able to join if you are an incoming first-year college student at LMU or Lehigh, aged 17-20, and a US resident, with a parent who has an email address on file with the university. The study aims to enroll 2040 students.

Study design
This is a randomized controlled trial, meaning participants are randomly assigned to one of several groups. It plans to include 2040 first-year college students.
What's involved
You would complete an online survey before college starts and then three more surveys at 1, 6, and 12 months after starting college. Your parent would receive access to their assigned program in July or August.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will be followed for 12 months after starting college, with surveys at 1, 6, and 12 months.
