MoRA Trial Summary

This trial aims to understand how stress, sleep, and alcohol interact in young adults, to inform preventative interventions for alcohol use disorders. #health #prevention

Who is the study for?

This trial is for English-speaking young adults aged 18-24 who engage in high-risk drinking as defined by NIAAA and have specific sleep patterns. They must have experienced moderate stress in their lifetime but can't participate if they've recently traveled across time zones, changed medications, or are at risk of suicide.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study investigates how life stress and sleep habits (both duration and timing) relate to alcohol use in young adults. It aims to understand these connections better to eventually help prevent alcohol use disorders.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since the interventions involve changes in sleep patterns rather than medication, typical drug side effects aren't expected. However, altering one's sleep schedule could potentially lead to temporary fatigue or mood changes.
