Study Summary

This trial will test whether a new video game can help reduce risky alcohol behaviors and increase knowledge about topics like blood alcohol content and standard drink sizes. The game will also aim to encourage players to help others who have overdrunk in the game.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for English-speaking high school students aged 16-18 who are willing to use an AR headset for about half an hour per session. The research team will decide if they're a good fit. It's not open to those outside this age group or not in high school.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests 'No Time Wasted', an augmented reality game designed to prevent alcohol abuse and reduce harm among teens by teaching them about blood alcohol content, standard drink sizes, signs of poisoning, and how to help others who've drunk too much.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this intervention involves playing a videogame rather than taking medication, traditional side effects aren't expected. However, users may experience discomfort from wearing the AR headset or eye strain from screen time.
