Brief Summary

A total of 150 young adults (ages 21-29) will be randomized to receive a brief alcohol intervention (intended to reduce alcohol-related resource allocation (e.g., time and money spent on alcohol), alcohol consumption, and alcohol related consequences) or an assessment only control condition. All participants will complete a 3 week monitoring period of daily surveys assessing time spent in various domains, alcohol use, personal goals, and money spent on alcohol and substance-free activities. Those in the intervention condition will receive weekly personalized information summarizing the previous week's resource allocation. All participants will complete a 1 and 3 month follow up survey. Participants can earn up to $126 for completing all study components.

Study Arms (2)

Resource Allocation Intervention

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will complete a 3 week monitoring period of daily surveys assessing time spent in various domains during the time, alcohol use, personal goals, and money spent on alcohol and substance-free activities. Each daily survey should take no longer than 5 minutes to complete. Those in the intervention condition will receive weekly personalized information summarizing the previous week's resource allocation (e.g., personalized information on how they spent their time and money) in relation to their personal goals, interests, and alcohol use. They will also see a summary of how they spent their time and money in relation to their set goals for the week. The information in the intervention feedback will be obtained from participant's responses to the daily surveys on how they spent their time and money each day. Reviewing the intervention feedback should take no longer than 10 minutes.

Behavioral: Resource Allocation
