TIME Trial Design

6Treatment groups
Active Control
Placebo Group
Group I: Intervention plus 10-week feedback boosterActive Control2 Interventions
Participants navigate through e-checkup to go, the well-established alcohol intervention, then receive the feedback booster email 10 weeks later. It contains a reminder to participate in follow-up surveys, plus personalized feedback based on participant-reported perceived alcohol norms, actual alcohol norms, their own use, and harm reduction strategies.
Group II: Intervention plus repeated feedback boostersActive Control2 Interventions
Participants navigate through e-checkup to go, the well-established alcohol intervention, then receive the multiple feedback booster emails, 2, 6, 10, and 14 weeks later. Each time, the email contains a reminder to participate in follow-up surveys, plus personalized feedback based on participant-reported perceived alcohol norms, actual alcohol norms, their own use, and harm reduction strategies.
Group III: Intervention plus 2-week feedback boosterActive Control2 Interventions
Participants navigate through e-checkup to go, the well-established alcohol intervention, then receive the feedback booster email 2 weeks later. It contains a reminder to participate in follow-up surveys, plus personalized feedback based on participant-reported perceived alcohol norms, actual alcohol norms, their own use, and harm reduction strategies.
Group IV: Intervention plus 6-week feedback boosterActive Control2 Interventions
Participants navigate through e-checkup to go, the well-established alcohol intervention, then receive the feedback booster email 6 weeks later. It contains a reminder to participate in follow-up surveys, plus personalized feedback based on participant-reported perceived alcohol norms, actual alcohol norms, their own use, and harm reduction strategies.
Group V: Intervention plus 14-week feedback boosterActive Control2 Interventions
Participants navigate through e-checkup to go, the well-established alcohol intervention, then receive the feedback booster email 14 weeks later. It contains a reminder to participate in follow-up surveys, plus personalized feedback based on participant-reported perceived alcohol norms, actual alcohol norms, their own use, and harm reduction strategies.
Group VI: Intervention-only ControlPlacebo Group1 Intervention
Participants navigate through e-checkup to go, the well-established alcohol intervention. Any follow-up emails sent to them later contain only a reminder to participate in follow-up surveys.
