Testing Alcohol Cancer Risk Messages
This study is looking at different ways to help cancer survivors reduce their alcohol use. Researchers are testing various messages about the link between alcohol and cancer. These messages come in different forms: text-only, neutral pictures, and graphic pictures, some focusing on the benefits of reducing drinking (gain-framed) and others on the risks of continued drinking (loss-framed). The goal is to see which types of messages are most effective at changing how people view the harm of alcohol and their intention to drink less. You might be able to join if you are 21 or older, live in the US, speak English, have had certain cancers (mouth, throat, larynx, liver, colon, rectum, or breast), and currently drink alcohol. The study will measure changes in your perception of alcohol's harm, your intention to reduce drinking, and your commitment to a limited drinking goal shortly after seeing the messages.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study planning to enroll 850 participants. It will test different types of messages to see their impact.
- What's involved
- You will participate in a single online session lasting less than 15 minutes, where you will be exposed to messages and answer questions before and after.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your responses will be measured within 15 minutes of the single online session.

What this trial measures
- Change in alcohol-cancer harm perceptionWithin 15 minutes on a single online session - from before message exposure (pre-exposure) to after message exposure (post-exposure).
Change in participants' beliefs about experiencing cancer in the future due to alcohol use measured on a scale from 1 (not at all) to 5 (a lot). The outcome is the change on the mean score from the pre to post exposure.
- Intention to Reduce Alcohol consumptionWithin 15 minutes on a single online session - from before message exposure (pre-exposure) to after message exposure (post-exposure).
Change in participants' intention to reduce alcohol consumption in the next month, measured on a scale from 1 (not at all) to 5 (a lot). The outcome is the change on the mean score from the pre to post exposure.
- Commitment to a limited drinking goal in the next monthWithin 15 minutes on a single online session - from before message exposure (pre-exposure) to after message exposure (post-exposure).
Change in participants' intention to commit to a drinking limit goal in the next month, measured on a scale from 1 (not at all) to 5 (a lot). The outcome is the change on the mean score from the pre to post exposure.
