PAIRS: Friend-Based AISA Intervention

This study is looking at a new way to help college women reduce their risk of alcohol-involved sexual assault (AISA) and change their drinking habits. It's called the Friend-Based Motivational Interview (PAIRS MI) and involves you and a friend working together. This is compared to a standard online course called Treatment as Usual (TAU). Researchers want to see if PAIRS MI is more effective over one year. You might be able to join if you are a woman between 18 and 24 years old, drink alcohol regularly, and don't live with your parents. The study aims to enroll 560 participants. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status.
