Project ACE Trial Summary

This trial will test a new intervention for young adults that includes personalized feedback on alcohol use, in the form of four surveys per day for 17 days. The intervention will aim to decrease exposure to cues that increase drinking desire, and provide strategies for coping with increased desire to drink. The trial will compare the young adults who receive the intervention with those who only complete identical assessments, in order to gauge the effectiveness of the intervention.

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Cue Reactivity Personalized Feedback Intervention (PFI)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention

Participants randomized to the Cue Reactivity PFI condition will receive personalized feedback at the end of completing 17 days of ecological momentary assessments (EMAs) four times a day. The personalized feedback will be delivered online and contains information summarizing participants' desire to drink as it varied as a function of several real-world factors across the 17-day EMA period.

Group II: Assessment-only controlActive Control1 Intervention

Participants randomized to the control group will not receive any intervention. They will be an assessment-only control group.
