Brief Summary
This study will examine the effectiveness of a 7-minute informational video using the threat and coping components of the Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) reduces alcohol intention and behaviour among young Canadian adults. Our aim is to determine whether perceived vulnerability, perceived severity, response efficacy and self-efficacy are associated with goal intentions to reduce drinking alcohol, and whether goals intentions to reduce alcohol drinking are associated with actual reductions in alcohol use among this population. Participants will be randomized to view either a specific PMT-video or a non-specific video on coffee and then complete questionnaires that relate to the PMT constructs. Intention and behaviour to drink alcohol will be compared between the two conditions over a 4-week period.
