Study Summary
This trial will test whether a single session of training in regulation of craving affects alcohol drinking.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for young adults aged 18-25 who are heavy or binge drinkers and want to reduce their alcohol consumption. They must be able to perform tasks on a computer, have good vision (with or without correction), and speak English fluently. People with other mental disorders, cognitive impairments, or no interest in cutting down drinking aren't eligible.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if a single session of Regulation of Craving Training (ROC-T) can affect alcohol drinking habits. Participants will go through screening, the ROC-T session, post-intervention assessment, and follow-ups via phone/online totaling up to 10 hours.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves behavioral training rather than medication, traditional side effects like those seen with drugs are not expected. However, participants may experience psychological discomfort when discussing their drinking habits.

Trial Design
2Treatment groups
Active Control
Placebo Group
Group I: CRAVING REGULATIONActive Control1 Intervention
In the CRAVING REGULATION condition, participants will first read a brief essay about the adverse consequences of drinking alcohol. Then, participants may complete a comprehension check consisting of questions to ensure that they understood and encoded the content of the essays. Participants will be trained to use the information to inform the strategy they will use in the regulation of craving training (ROC-T). A single trial in the regulation of craving training will have two possible instructions: (a) STRATEGY: implement the strategy ("bring to mind the negative facts from the essay") and (b) LOOK: to merely observe the image and allow natural responses to come. Participants will follow the instructions; followed by an alcohol-related picture, a brief delay, and will then rate their craving. Participants will then be instructed to use this strategy in daily life situations when they might drink.
Group II: CONTROL (NO REGULATION)Placebo Group1 Intervention
In the CONTROL condition, participants will first read a brief essay about a non-alcohol-related topic (e.g., color perception). Then, participants will complete a comprehension check consisting of questions to ensure that they understood and encoded the content of the essays. Participants will view images of objects that are unrelated to alcohol. Furthermore, participants in the control condition will not practice any strategy in the regulation of craving task (ROC-T). That is, in the CONTROL condition, participants would merely observe the image and allow natural responses to come (i.e., LOOK instruction) and rate how colorful is each item (this controls for task time and experiment setting).
