CPNF Intervention Development and Testing for Alcohol Use
This study is testing new ways to help young adults reduce their alcohol use. It compares two behavioral interventions: Customizable Personalized Normative Feedback (CPNF) and Personalized Normative Feedback (PNF). CPNF lets you choose which groups you compare your drinking habits to, like younger or older students, to make the information more relevant to you. PNF helps correct misunderstandings about how much your peers actually drink. There's also an Attention-Matched Control group that receives feedback on other health topics like sleep, not drinking. The study aims to see if these interventions can reduce how much alcohol you drink per month, how much you drink per occasion, and how often you have heavy drinking episodes. You can join if you are 18-24 years old, a student at the University of Washington, and meet certain criteria for past alcohol use. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 250 participants.

Inclusion
What this trial measures
- Alcohol use - drinks per monthScreening, Baseline, Follow-ups, an average of 3 months
Daily Drinking Questionnaire will assess drinks on average over the past month by recording the number of drinks consumed on each day of a typical week. Response options range from 0 drinks to 25+ drinks. Lower score is a better outcome, higher score is a worse outcome.
- Alcohol use - Quantity per occasionScreening, Baseline, Follow-ups, an average of 3 months
Quantity/Frequency/Peak Alcohol Use Index will assess amount of alcohol consumed over the past month with how many days alcohol was consumed, average consumption, and peak consumption. Response options range from 0 to 30 days for frequency, and 1 to 12+ drinks for quantity and peak. Lower score is a better outcome, higher score is a worse outcome.
- Alcohol use - Heavy episodic drinkingScreening, Baseline, Follow-ups, an average of 3 months
Heavy Episodic Drinking measure will assess how many times over the past month heavy drinking episodes occurred, defined as 4 or more drinks (females) or 5 or more drinks (males) on a single occasion. Response options range from 0 to 7 days. Lower score is a better outcome, higher score is a worse outcome.
- Alcohol use - Peak drinks & peak BACScreening, Baseline, Follow-ups, an average of 3 months
Electronic Blood Alcohol content will be assessed and calculated using peak drinks over x amount of time. A lower BAC is a better outcome, a higher BAC is a worse outcome.
- Alcohol use - Alcohol Use Disorders Identification TestBaseline, Follow-ups, an average of 3 months
The AUDIT is a 10-item self-report screening tool assessing hazardous and harmful alcohol use over the past year. Items are rated on varying 5-point Likert-type scales assessing frequency, quantity, and consequences of alcohol use. Lower score is a better outcome, higher score is a worse outcome.
- Alcohol use - Brief Young Adult Alcohol Consequences QuestionnaireBaseline, Follow-ups, an average of 3 months
The Brief YAACQ is a 24-item assessment of alcohol-related consequences in young adults. Response options for the items are yes or no. Higher score (i.e. more 'yes' responses) is a worse outcome, lower score (i.e. more 'no' responses) is a better outcome.
