Evaluation of a Personalized Normative Feedback Repeatedly Delivered Via a Mobile Application After a Brief Therapeutic Intervention on Alcohol-related Risks:
BTI (Brief Therapeutic Intervention) motivates individuals admitted to ED (Emergency Department) for acute intoxication to take actions to prevent further alcohol-related issues. The present project aims at underpinning this intervention by actively involving patients in the monitoring of their alcohol-related risk following discharge. While several web-based preventive interventions towards alcohol already exist, the repeated delivering of PNF (Personalized Normative Feedback) using mobile technology after a BTI constitutes a novel approach to reduce alcohol-related harms. Investigators propose to test the effect of a mobile PNF following a BTI delivered by a psychologist during an ED visit for alcohol intoxication. The mobile PNF will be additionally delivered once a month in the 6-months period after discharge, and once every two months in the following 6-month period, via a smartphone application connected to a central server. The study will include 18-26 years old adults, as this population includes most active students and is often lost to follow-up after ED visits; and aims the reduction of heavy drinking occasions, as this issue account for most of alcohol-related ED visits in this population.

Reduction of the number of heavy drinking occasions
Reduction (expressed as a percentage) of the number of heavy drinking occasions (= 7 or more standard drinks of 10 g pure alcohol in one occasion) in the precedent month between baseline (nbaseline) and the evaluation done 12 months after the admission in the ED (n12 months) :
Change = (nbaseline - n12months) / nbaseline

Study Arms (2)
Personalized Normative Feedback group
EXPERIMENTAL
A personalized normative feedback using a tablet application will be performed after the BTI at ED. The application installed on the patient's smartphone will automatically repeat the PNF, using a local algorithm, once a month over a 6-months period after discharge, and once every two months in the following 6-month period. It will be also possible to perform the PNF on the server website.
The control group will not receive further counseling or information after the baseline BTI at ED. The application installed in this group will be only used for the evaluation questionnaire at 6 and 12 months

Interventions
Personalized Normative FeedbackOther
This "PNF" technique use information designed to correct normative misperceptions to reduce heavy drinking. Much of the alcohol consumption among college students stems from the fairly widespread perception that one's peers expect regular and sometimes extreme drinking participation (subjective drinking norms). The PNF approach is designed to counter this perception by giving students accurate figures on how much their peers actually drink (actual drinking norms). It also aims to improve students' understanding of alcohol use in general and the firmly established negative outcomes associated with short - and long-term patterns of excessive drinking.
