    This is will be evaluated by the Drinking Identity Implicit Association Test (IAT). A summary score, called a D score, which is similar to a Cohen's d effect size, will be calculated. Scores range from -2 to +2; higher scores indicate stronger implicit drinking identity.

  • Drinks per weekWill be assessed at baseline, 1-month follow up, 3-month follow up, 6 month-follow up, & 12-month follow up
