Multi-Component Breath Alcohol Intervention for Young Adults

This study is testing different ways to help young adults who drink heavily manage their alcohol use. It involves using mobile health technologies (like apps on your phone) and brief counseling sessions. These sessions will provide information about blood/breath alcohol concentration and strategies for moderate drinking. The main goals are to see how well these technologies are used, if people find them helpful, and how easy they are to use. You might be able to join if you are between 18 and 25 years old, can read English, and have had at least four days of heavy drinking in the past month. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 90 participants.

Study design
This is an interventional study, the third stage of a larger project, aiming to enroll 90 participants.
What's involved
Participants will use mobile technologies as they choose for a four-week period and may receive a 25-30 minute motivational interview and psychoeducation.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will be assessed for technology utilization, acceptability, and usability at the end of the 4-week field use period.
