Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Number of Binge Drinking Days
Measured by the # days on the Timeline Followback Calendar that a male reported 5+ drinks or a female reported 4+ drinks
12 weeks after starting intervention
Secondary Outcomes (3)
Drinks Per Drinking Day
12 weeks after starting intervention
Count of Participants With Any Binge Drinking Day
12 weeks after starting intervention
Brief Young Adult Alcohol Consequences Questionnaire Score
12 weeks after starting intervention
Study Arms (5)
Drinking Cognition Feedback (DCF)
EXPERIMENTAL12 weeks of interactive text messaging focused on providing feedback related only to pre-weekend drinking cognitions (plans, desire to get drunk).
Alcohol Risk Feedback (ARF)
EXPERIMENTAL12 weeks of interactive text messaging focused on providing feedback related only to post-weekend alcohol consumption (max drinks consumed on any occasion over the weekend).
Adaptive Goal Support (AGS)
EXPERIMENTAL10 weeks of interactive text messaging focused on providing adaptive goal support (based on running average of max drinks consumed).
COMBO
EXPERIMENTAL12 weeks of interactive text messaging incorporating features of DCF, ARF and AGS.
Control
NO INTERVENTION12 weeks of text message assessments without any feedback
